Train and bus fan love vintage and modern style with the odd run thrown in for good measure.

Definitely a photo I'm proud of, the Shard is silly tall though!

465908 "Chris Green" in NSE Livery is seen calling at London Bridge with 2H48: 1726 Charing Cross to Tunbridge Wells service during the evening peak

Getting a photo from P5 during the peak is always risky with frequent Thameslinks!

Well I never.... this coming out 'soon'. Such is modern publishing? But, my dear friends..I promise worth the wait! First of 4 covering the period 1801-2050, this is the first genuinely NEW complete primary history in 60 years.

'Brilliant' to quote an expert

A train consisting of two BR blue 'Cravens' two-car disel multiple units coupled together approaches Gartson platform. The headcode reads B3 and the destination blind ST ALBANS. The driver is visible in one of the two large cab-end windows on the bright yellow cab.

#OnThisDay 60 years ago, Garston (Herts) station opened; a rare station opening at a time when they were closing by the hundred. 8 years after opening, a Cravens DMU for St Albans approaches the single platform: Cliff Beeton buff.ly/3EhKI6x Electrification arrived in 1988
