Directions from St Pancras?

Maybe a new forum section need to be?
Train Drivers and Cab Rides? it should be called. For people to ask "How do i become a train Driver?" questions and about Cab rides, and have a Sticky saying about companes do not offer cab rides, and everything.

It's at Covent Garden, on the Piccadilly Line. So uou just need to take the Piccadilly Line to Covent Garden from Kings Cross St. Pancras.

You can't actually copyright an idea, you can only copyright something that exists in some physical form.

i got a cabride on a 153. not the most thrilling in the world, but it is what it is, dwon the shrewsbury line towards wolverhampton. the train was full up, and i was with my elderly grandfather, so the driver, who was a real nice guy, let my grandad have the spare seat in the cab, while i just around and admired the scenery, pretty cool.

Errr... Its easy enough to forcably get into any cab on the LU. On newer stocks its simply a case of pulling a ring on the back of the door and it will open. On older stocks its a case of smashing glass which covers the lever (or you could just get the square-type key for it).

Who here is going to force the drivers door open just to have a cab ride?

Hey, a spoon goon managed to get into the back cab of 47813 on the sleeper some time this week...the driver kept noticing the brakes coming on and off, and a figure was spotted by the lostwithiel signalman, flailing out the back cab windows. At liskeard (about 20 mins and 2 stations) down the line, the driver walked round to the back cab to find a figure wrenching on and off the handbrake wheel. Driver opened the door and the bloke flung himself out and away into the night.

Talk about '47 bashing

(and no it wasnt me

I have a T key, i've used it twice before now, once I let someone out of a 4CIG as someone decided to use it as a Guards Van.

The BR "Acme Thunderball" my dad still has his, nice loud one too.

Mind you, for the older cabs, you don't need a T key, an ice lolly stick has been used in the past.

T key will not open a tube cab door, its the opposite to a J door key, T key is male and J door is female, we are not allowed to let any members of the public in without a cab pass, we get in deep deep shi@#& if we are caught.
