Didn't you get a lift to the pit face on a train YN and then catch one back ? .

No. Some faces were 3 miles outby the paddy took you maybe 1/2 way then you had to walk with your tools and no belt riding as belts were running the opposite way and you walked with the deputies. I would have loved to see some of you people who talk about the pits shift a heap of ripping after boring it with the 4foot drill.
