Last A Stock Railtour 29/09/12

Update: Matt has now left the blog, due to personal circumstances. The blog now only consists of Kamichi and Au.

During the 29th September, the last A stock ran along the Metropolitan line on a railtour. Now, due to that I couldn't get tickets for them, I ended up taking many photos of it instead.

The start of the railtour at Moorgate.
