Chiltern RHTT

Its not all Chiltern DMUs with the occasional bin liners on our local line. We do have our moments and last Wednesday was one of them.

A Network Rail RHTT arrived northbound at lunchtime and was held in the centre road, firstly within the station and then north of the Summerleys Road bridge, to permit the passage of up and down service trains

Topped and tailed by rather grubby Class 66s , it was delayed further to allow a Ruislip - Calvert rubbish to wend its way across to the Aylesbury branch, its signature aroma of West London effluent drifting over the platforms..

Finally, 30 minutes after its arrival, the RHTT train was released south, itself adding to the local pollution levels as its spray jets burst into action!

And then normal service was resumed!
