@ScottyMcLeod Oh crap. And on a weekend.

[Alan Benson @AlansTweets]

@ScottyMcLeod When I had this recently it was a dodgy cable. Should I feel guilty?

[Alan Benson @AlansTweets]

@ScottyMcLeod Looks like you made it. Enjoy.

Fabulous visit to Gallions Reach to see the new DLR trains which will start to be rolled out from Spring 2024. Loving the walk through design and of course, the new moquette! 🚊🚈🚆
