About 8 years ago there were Christmas Shopping services from

A lot longer ago than that, I'm afraid. The last ones that I remember were
December 1989 or 1990.

Great trips with driver's blinds up on the 115s. Lots of NSE
top-brass on board. Started from Marylebone via the Joint Line and
plcked us up at Gerrards Cross. Not a fast journey, though!
Can't remember what the shops were like.

I did that trip sometime back in the 80's but I got on at Quainton
Road, didn't bother with the shops though as someone collected us in a
car. These days I work in MK..................
