The metronomic chuffing at the start is heartwarming. Almost feel like grabbing my guitar and playing along to it! xD

On Christmas Day, I was near Hammersmith station when I heard the whistle of the met 1 train, it sounded as if it was from Hammersmith H&C station which makes sense as the H&C used to be the metropolitan line
