My last shift before my leave was a rather nice 8 hour shift at Oakwood, doing sunlight duties.  The only gripe was that they replaced the benches during the week, so there's no longer a bench on the sunlight/shade border, which meant baking in the sun or having a longer walk to the sunlit part of the platform, which is where I generally stand to give the right.  I'd also made the dire mistake of wearing my trousers instead of a skirt.  By the end of the shift I'd waved out 118 trains and was dying to get home and get changed, as one might imagine!  (Instead we spent an hour in Tesco.  *sigh!*)  There was no other real excitement apart from a train that started to leave the other platform, shuddered to a halt, and then got going again without a hitch.  The service was pretty much perfect all day - a steady Heathrow, Heathrow, Uxbridge, Heathrow, Heathrow, Rayners Lane pattern with average intervals.  Only once did a Heathrow and Rayners Lane get swapped round.  Oh, and one idiot who got his bag trapped in the doors.  Otherwise, normal.
