He takes it along West London’s canals, saying: “Lots of towpath users stop and take pictures.”
He added: “It’s definitely more chilled out than riding on the tube.
“My wife thought that painting it like an Underground Train would only appeal to railway enthusiasts, but she’s popular with all sorts.
“She has a real energy to her, lots of towpath users stop and ask to take pictures with her.
“It’s a different energy, definitely a bit more chilled out than riding on the tube.

“I’ve managed to decrease the wiggle with my upgrades, but haven’t stopped it completely.
“The shape of the boat was the inspiration for the whole Underground theme.

“We also call her Mind the Gap now because of the obvious similarities between stepping onto a tube train and stepping onto a canal boat from the bank.
