Day Nine,
I had an exam this morning which meant I missed one hour of work experience, but Anthony kindly offered to pick me up after school, but he was at an incident so I would have to walk home and he would pick me up in half an hour, after some boring daytime TV we went to Healey Mills once more to get some pictures of the redundant stock, including a class 47, as Anthony was on M.O.M duties today we had to be near Leeds, so after this we headed over to the Office and watched videos, read magazines and talked until 7PM.
Just as we were heading home, there was single line working imposed on one of the Shipley lines, we had *just* missed out on the action!
After Anthony set the other M.O.M up with sheets and details we headed home.
What a brilliant 2 weeks this has been, if anyone younger than me is reading this and is interested in the railways, try get a placement! it took me a year to organise, but was worth all of it. I now have to face the prospect of going to school, I really hope I have the opportunity to work for Network Rail in the future.
Finally, thank you to Anthony, Lisa and Julie for everything, if it wasn't for these three people, I would of been stacking shelves in the co-op.
This has probably been one of the best 2 weeks in my life.
See you on the railway!
