The Pinner Pieman

20th May 1995

This tour ran in conjunction with the Steam on the Met special of the London Underground

Southern Reg managed to get a number of shots of 205033 around the Chesham and Chalfont areas.

Arriving at Chalfont on the Chesham Shuttle

Waiting at Chesham

Arriving at Chesham.

Note the Pilot from London Underground in the cab, when there is a train which is non Underground running on their metals there must be two men in the cab at all times as the Underground signalling system rely on tripcocks to stop the train.

As a thumper does not have such equipment the second person is there to stop the train in an emergency.

Once again thanks to Southern Reg for the photographs
