Driving The Thameslink Simulator

Description
Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) asked me a few weeks ago if I'd like to come and try out their simulators at Hornsey Depot, to which I of course said "Yes!".

Stopping off at Essex Road along the way for a last look of the tiles, I got to have a go on an Electrostar 377 Classroom style simulator, before heading up to the Siemens Traincare Facility (also based at Hornsey Depot) to try out the Class 700 simulator. Thanks to GTR for inviting me, and to Tim for being my instructor.
