NEW VIDEO! "Is this Britain's most POINTLESS train journey?"

A photo of a Class 156 at Platform 1 of Blackpool North station. The sky is clear and there are numerous buildings in the background. The photo is taken from a low angle and there is some grit salt visible on the platform.

I havent posted here all year! (New video coming soon perchance)

A photo of a small red and white Ferry at the end of a jetty on a river. The town of Fleetwood is seen in the background. The jetty itself is visibly wet from the river. The sky is partially cloudy and light blue.

A screenshot of the Google maps directions between Fleetwood Ferry and Knott End. The directions for the car states that the journey takes 33 minutes, as opposed to just 9 minutes when taking the ferry.

Driving: 30 minutes
Bus: 2 hours
Ferry: 5 minutes (plus a long walk up the jetty!)

Despite an hourly service (dependant on tide), the Fleetwood to Knott End Ferry is a pretty important link between two towns just a couple hundred metres apart! Pretty interesting trip if I do say so myself!

A London Underground S8 stock is seen arriving into a platform at Moor Park Station. The front of the train is red, and the platform is partially sheltered, with a small group of people waiting to board. The photo is zoomed in and the sun is behind the camera, creating a bright and slightly overexposed image.

A few months back, me and @bplnova.bsky.social decided to explore the 'metroland' area of london. And I must say, its actually really cool!

Really interesting stations and a fun mix of stopper and fast services from both the Met line and the Chiltern services!

I think I should explore here again!!

A bright yellow and black Class 777 train alongside a platform edge, partially under a station canopy. The view of the train is from very low down, looking directly towards the train. The sky is partially cloudy.

I keep on forgetting to actually post here! Oops... anyway, enjoy this shot of a Class 777 train I caught at Chester a few weeks ago! They're definitely some of my favourite trains :)

Blackpool!!!! Make it better for locals and extend them to Lytham, and make them head inland a bit aswell

how has it been 10 years since they redid the roof of Manchester Victoria????

Trans Rights are Human Rights.

That's it, that's the post.

Thank you for 400 followers! I don't post here too often now, but it's nice to see that everyone is getting settled here!

I am corrupted

I am so sorry to hear this! You must've been really lucky to have him in your life, and vice versa.

Much love and condolences to you 🙏

My co-worker had heart Christmas playing in the car yesterday

Last Christmas started playing..

I lost it ONE DAY into the challenge

Ffs

This is what the right wing wants to focus on, over us being fed, getting employment and being able to heat our own homes.

Sure, I am not the most fond of labour but my god is it better than what the tories gave us.

It's times like this when I believe that the right wing clearly have lost the upper hand in politics when they resort to these actions.

Why should a SPENT conviction gtom over a DECADE ago be grounds for dismissal, despite it being known about publicly well before she was appointed?

Disgraceful

Clickbait being last in the odds to represent Montenegro at Eurovision, but doing so anyway is pure aura

58 for me lmao

Nice to know my local council still doesn't bother to grit the roads.. 🙄

In just a few weeks, I've managed to regain the following i had from 5 years of Twitter

And people doubted Bluesky's survival.. :P

A screenshot of a weather app displaying snowfall and low temperatures

Me: oh hey maybe I can finish that one video this week

Weather: allow me to introduce myself

Went there in July, a very underrated city for sure!

P.S. I would also like to give thanks to the train manager of this service (the 1705 out of Euston on the 13th, headcode 1P94), talked to me and my friend after the service completed, and was incredibly friendly and shared some great insight about working with Avanti and on the railway! :)
