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.

Not even necessary now. With the 4-TC/3-TC units it can work in push/pull
mode, as it did a few years ago when it worked Baker Street to Uxbridge
services (off peak) vice an A60/62.

the photos !!

She was in Ruislip Depot in April. I don't know what (if anything) she's
being used for at present.
