Pillar to post

Things have been fairly quiet of late, so there hasn't been much to report. I've been shuttling up and down the West Anglia routes at the control of various services, making my stops, doing PA announcements and generally keeping out of the way. It's been quite nice. There was one day last week when the (ahem) excrement hit the airscrew which resulted in some impressive delays and one of our trips to Enfield being cancelled, but that's about it.

Unfortunately, this week I have been chopped and changed around a fair bit because my minder is unwell. In the last three days I've had two different minders and will have yet another tomorrow, this time from a different depot. At least it's kept me out there driving, as I had feared that I'd be bumped back down to front-end turns again, but it's meant that I've had to get aquainted with new minders and they with me. Still, it's quite nice to have my driving assessed by other people as well as my regular minder so that I can get a balanced view on my progress.

Hopefully by the time I get back from my week off (to which I am very much looking forward) my minder will be well again.
