Last night was ‘hump’ day (shift no. 4 in a run of 7) for me. Every day this week, something has happened on the #MemeRailway. _Shattered._

Yesterday my windscreen wiper jammed IN THE RAIN burning out the motor. No spare trains, so I had to sit around to get it fixed.

Driving cab of a Metropolitan line S stock train, with the cab fully shut down. The train is in Neasden depot awaiting assistance as the windscreen wiper on the driving (left) side has jammed in a position to the extreme left of the window. It is also raining.

But as part of having to put together a ‘mood board’ for my current #Tubegeek adjacent project, here’s a few snaps taken during this week’s #MemeRailway commute.

Acton Town, the variation of afternoon winter sun lighting the main concourse, and shadows/contrast on the platform:
Shadows of the art deco window frames at Acton Town London Underground Station, the light forming an irregular diamond shape on the floor in contrast to the shadows around it.

Long shadows being cast across the Acton Town Station platform, with the bright afternoons illuminating a stationary Piccadilly line train. A passenger waits in dark clothes, with a dark red leather backpack on their back.

More #tubegeek deets: The ‘60s Met line diagram (used as a prop for a Meme Railway #RailwayFamily group photo) was a gift from a recently retired colleague. It was saved from A Stock car 6036, which housed sandite hoppers & was the only car in the fleet which hadn't been refurbed. An OG for an OG. 😎
