Not too bad at all. I’ll be joining around 55 other drivers which isn’t shabby at all. New trains to learn but I like being a nerd so it’ll suit me 😂

I try to avoid them.. but moving houses for work means I have to visit occasionally to top up on some new items.

That'd be a first 😂 Best I've had is watching people shove each other out of the doors as the train is too full and the doors won't shut.. I'd rather that than a seal though 🙈

Must be unusual to see 3 trains there at once? I only thought maybe one gets put away there. 😂

Sounds like a plan! The amount of rubbish is nuts though! Traction guides from pre-2020! I mean this is ridiculous 🤣

I always go in and do my work and get out again 😂. I prefer to just be quiet and get the work done safely and properly. As long as my bit is done properly, that's my main concern. We'll see what it's like once I hop ships though.

Enjoy them! Once Christmas is over I’ll be studying the rule book for a while to keep my knowledge up to date for the dreaded rules refreshers

Yeah it’ll be a weird habit to get out of, passing through them all. I’ve driven on all the lines over my time with XR so just gotta keep scanning the diagram 😅
