Default Worst shift

At Arnos on a weekday ..... last at 23:17.


With a last train back (to Cockfosters) at 1:15 (so presumably ECS to
AG for 1:30), what does one do for the rest of this shift?


The 2317 book-on is a night turn (yes, we have them too). It finishes
at 0731 (0735 on a Friday, Saturday morning)

Night turns are a whole different animal as they involve taking a train
west, in this case to Rayners Lane for 0048 and then back to Northfields
depot; then sitting in the depot at Northfields for up to 4 hours to
bring a first train east again.

Steve (D) seems to like his night turns - hence his note about the last
book-on
