Nice to hear from a fellow Victoria line bloke! I am currently a Station Supervisor at the Vic itself. Loadsa part time jobs going if you ever wanted back in...

As the man said, BVE4 Northern Line is very good, especially with the 1970s heritage bit, also Bakerloo line for BVE4 is ok. There is a part of the District Line just releasd for MSTS with D and Picc line 73(??) stock, C stock and battery locos etc to follow.

Nice layout, I'd love to see this one.

Incidently, Acton Depot open day is on the 3rd/4th March and their theme is model railways at this event so if anyones going I'm going to be there on the Saturday if you fancy saying hello
Also anyone that's a member of District Daves forum, Phil is trying to arrange a meet for this particular weekend.

LU has an operational apprentice scheme that takes school leavers at 16. They do a two year scheme then get choice of heading towards training for signal op, station super or train op (eventually). Frontline duties (ie the gateline) isnt much fun for under 18s though, its a hard job at times.

Nicolafan06 are you joining up? PM if you have any questions.
