Nice!!

Reece has finally made it to Bluesky!

Yay!

Yay my local line!

Same!

A pair of Class 170 trains at Derby Train Station on a clear dark evening

Successfully survived a 10hr shift and dodged all the footy fans - I'd call that a win!

Speaking of the footy, we had a Foot-Ex run between Derby and Sheffield today, formed of a 5 car Turbostar. Non stop to Sheffield via Beighton no less! Here it is seen waiting to leave Derby

Thanks! They're very comfortable!

I know it's not train related, but I do enjoy buses a bit as well! I was free today, so I thought, why not go to Harrogate to ride on the brand new electric E400EVs for route 36! Stunning buses!

Epic song! Also your part was good!

Wow! Yeah Trainpal is good and I use it a lot!

Northumberland line update

From December 2025 timetable changes

On Sundays only trains to/from Ashington will extend to/from Metrocentre calling at Dunston.

You know what, it's hilarious that #HS2 opponents love to say "why would anyone want to get to Birmingham XX minutes faster", but adding around 4 minutes to a journey time to/from Wales is an outrage, despite OOC providing benefits for GWML passengers. So are journey times important or not?

These new 555s look great! Definitely a much needed improvement over the existing old and outdated metro cars! Hopefully I'll have a ride on them at some point next year!

Lucky!

I enjoyed mine too! 😅👍

Congratulations Riku!!

158861 was the first train in 60 years to go to Ashington again! I was very happy to be part of that historical moment yesterday!
