Finally dragged myself to Crawley today, to see all the loans at the moment! First up today has been the very healthy HW52 EPN, on a thrashed run from Horsham to Gatwick!

The end of an era yesterday, the train I first worked alone, and now Iโ€™ve worked for the final timeโ€ฆ the class 455. Was an emotional morning with a Cobham, and Woking semi fast on my favourite service, to close out my run on these! Icing on the cake having both a /7 and /8.

I can see why! Thatโ€™s on the cards next time, heard great things!

Lots of rarer buses too, and the drivers were all great.

The whole run from Waterloo to Exeter was not the plan tonight!

Due to cancellations and a Do Not Travel, we decided to claim a refund and go to Exeter via Waterloo - then once we arrived at WAT all services where reinstated!

At least itโ€™s a comfy diesel ๐Ÿ™‚

A nice pair of 455โ€™s for my Epsom round trip this evening, then back to a 450โ€™for my last working.

โœ… Pula, Croatia ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท

A Jess Glynne filled outbound flight on Jet2, and a butter landing on a rather turbulent easyJet

A small, but beautiful place, that is still quite industrial with a large ship building facility!

With my brain successfully frazzled, I am now trained on 701โ€™s! Nice to get a trip down to Windsor as I donโ€™t sign it. Although my assessment train to Hampton Court was chaos due to signalling issues!
