Slightly different scenario today, as it was supposed to be my day off I somehow managed to volunteer to do an extra days work. Came in today at 04:40 and was informed that there isn't anything to do, oh great another 8 hours of sitting around and being bored. Luckily when talking to the shunter he said that there might be something that I can do. Had to go and take a double decker trailer to thurock to the workshop and bring back another one that was fixed. Interesting as the double deckers have small wheels and the stability is something to be desired when empty.
Collected the other one and being in a hurry to get back I went the wrong way, ended up on the QE2 bridge and had to be shepherded back through the tunnel as I didn't have any cash to pay the toll. It was kind of funny to be escorted back to the other side of the tunnel, first time ever through the tunnel in a 16ft 2in high lorry then I had the long drive back down the way I came. The roadworks between Junction 28 & 27 are a pain in the backside, about time they were finished but what the hell they'll always spring up somewhere else
