Can you carry a chainsaw on the tube?

Yes I’ve done it no petrol in tank bar and chain off, was recommended by ticket collector to carry in hold-all far less questions at each station 

In 1974 the government  proposed changing the tax status of  forestry land, to close a loophole which was the basis of funding for The Economic Forestry Group, for which I worked, So my foreman and area manager took off with others to protest at the houses of parliament. Said foreman equipped himself with the Jonsered 621, bar mounted minus chain and off they went by train and tube leaving me to bash my way through goat willow encroaching the rides with a long handled hook (known as a horse tripper in the trade).

 

Apparently engines were revved (silly thing to do with no chain and a screwed on clutch) but lawmakers were not impressed.

I took my 201 and 441 all the way from diss in Norfolk to woolwich se London on the train before. 

 

Just wack them in a bag mate. 

 

I drained them and took the bar and chain off just incase I got questioned at all. 

 

The only downside was the bruise I got on my thigh from running to catch a tube with it bashing my leg😄
