And Sarah is gone from the Met - I think she was transferred to Quainton

no runaround loops to put the loco the right-way around on the end of
the train at Amersham, but the HSE would probably have a ragbaby.

When did it move to Quainton Road? I thought it was still on the Met
somewhere.
They managed run-rounds easily enough at Amersham in 1982 when Sarah
Siddons did a few tours. Uxbridge station was the problem - it ran to
Uxbridge sidings instead, with passengers, to perform the runround
instead.

Sarah Siddons was certainly used during Steam on the Met in 1999 - I have
the photos !!
