NOTHING BEATS A JET2 HOLIDAY

this broke my brain on my trip up to Scotland

Gareth Dennis’ book How The Railways Will Fix The Future shown on a Greater Anglia Class 745. Screen in background displays: Service to Tottenham Hale Calling at: Bishop’s Stortford, Harlow Town and Tottenham…

Hey, Santa got me a present written by @garethdennis.bsky.social. I’ve got some light reading to do…

I forgot to post this but I was out with friends last night, we did Karaoke and we did Bowling! I also dived into a bush for some reason… @wintrwunderland.uk

Best of luck! (Those 387s are a regular occurrence at this point, even on the Seafords.)

What have I been up to recently?

Sleeper back from Scotland, my first railtour with friends, saw Manchester and went to Sheffield to see a friend drive a bus!

Photo taken from bus pointed at window. Stagecoach interior photographed, but main focus is on what’s outside the window. Shown from front to back, a railing for the side of the motorway, followed by a green fence and plains for a short while. Followed by a forest full of trees in their autumn colours, and a skyline of rolling hills behind. The sky is somewhat cloudy but blue skies can be seen in patches.

Scotland is pretty. I needed this…
…and I haven’t even left the Central Belt!

The tweet displayed below is from Stagecoach, with the old Stagecoach beachball logo as its avatar, and the tag @StagecoachWScot. It displays the following message: Follow us on Twitter for live travel updates on the go. #follow #Twitter #liveupdates

This aged well.

London Euston’s station concourse pictured. A large, wide black screen is displayed on the left, mounted to the wall. The departures are shown on a relatively small screen on the right, held up with supports from the floor.

A big, blank screen, and my chariot up to Glasgow.

Interior of declassified First Class shown on a Thameslink Class 700. Focus is on a table with an 8-pack of Tesco chocolate chip brioche rolls as well as a Caffè Nero hot chocolate.

Interior of National Express coach shown with first-person view from seat 2A. Legs stretched wholly forwards with shoes in picture to demonstrate the large amount of legroom.

Protip: on a National Express coach? Grab seat 2A for plenty of legroom.

The sea’s playing up again because of a storm.

You have to get a rail replacement bus from Exeter St Davids.

Sign shows a large number 9 denoting the platform at Clapham Junction station. “For trains to:” is the subheading, with 99 stations listed in tiny text below the subheading. All text is white with a navy blue background, with the bottom of the sign highlighted in SWR blue.

Where would you like to go?

Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that question?

Three buses shown in Colchester Osborne Street’s bus station. 33593 SN09 CFG shown on left is an Enviro400 in plain white. 33728 SN12 ALO shown in centre is an Enviro400 in First New, their purple and grey livery. 67755 SN62 ASO shown on right is an Enviro300 also in First New. All are First vehicles.

Oh yeah, I do buses too.

haiiii :3

heya!

…I will get a room on the Sleeper at some point, but if it’s just me, I may as well just grab a seat since I’m a cheapskate.

So I’m on the Caledonian Sleeper next week. Haven’t quite ticked an item off my bucket list, but I’d say it’s somewhat close.

Bluesky is funny because I can’t recall any other platform where its growth is explicitly tied to the collective hate for one person.
