Most weekend shifts are long ones in order to reduce the number of people working and mine was a 6-pipe eight hour job with a half hour break in the middle. While the river pageant was on it was pretty much like any other Sunday, not much going on and not many people around but afterwards it got a lot more crowded, not M-F peak levels, just a noticeable increase in the number of wet people dressed in red, white and blue, waving flags, steaming gently as they dried on the platform.
