Occasional poster of railways and what not. Shunts via the North End. Everything from a position of safety, views are my own and all that jazz.

Something about speeding through northern France with the sun setting and snow on the ground. Troubles just melt away. #trainsnotplanes

I wouldnt even consider ringing a driver on the move unless it was an emergency. Thats what the contact signaller message is for. Allows the driver to ring us when its appropriate for them. As for pulling up a signal for regulation. I aint waiting 4 minutes for a die out. I'll live with my mistake.

It always amazes me that Europa Park has these open fire pits. It's nice to see that it hasn't been stopped because it's "too unsafe". This one was starting to go out so I did what any responsible adult would do, and chucked a few more logs on 😁

First time a HST has made it up the South Devon and Tavistock Railway?

The number of times crossrail trains get Paignton in the phone book vice Paddington is entertaining. The beauty of GSMR, speak to any train anywhere in the country. The furthest I've had ring me on an accidental dial was Glasgow!
