On Steam on the Met 1993 (IIRC) the green 121 Bubblecar was used as
Chesham Branch Shuttle. But that doesn't count.


Similarly, on 20th May 1995, after working in on a railtour (Hertfordshire -
"The Pinner Pieman") from Waterloo, a 3H DEMU was used on the branch in
place of the A stock. The other unit of the pair stabled at Watford Met all
day with an additional Chalfont to Watford Met service used to get the
branch unit back to Watford in time for the return tour run.

I remember well the thrash from a pair of 3Hs on the non-stop run from
Watford Met up to Aylesbury!


Sounds wonderful!
