When to #TheGreatestGathering today, wasn't expecting there to be so much on display!

Vale of Ffestiniog at Porthmadog Harbour station, low angle shot

VoFf having run round backs onto the coaches

VoFf with a take of coaches and the station building behind

VoFf in the headshunt about to run round

Diesels out on service trains today at the Ffestiniog Railway 😍😍

What a lovely suprise 😁

@festrail.bsky.social

WHR loco about to head across the Cob to Boston Lodge

Not the prettiest loco ever... A WHR loco with its flat front

Ffestiniog loco in the platform with the station building behind, looking comparatively smaller than the WHR ones

Ffestiniog loco Linda in the yard trying to hide in a smoke screen

Some (big) little steam trains at Porthmadog Harbour. The WHR locos are almost as big as standard gauge locos!

Cab-less loco Alf in the run round at Tywyn Wharf, station building in the background

No.11 (near) and No.12 (far) in the yard at Pendre

No.11 pulls a passenger train into Pendre over the level crossing

A double headder! Alf and No.11 ready to work a train up the line

Grumble boxes out on service trains today 😍😍

@talyllyn.co.uk

And the aircon, faster acceleration and better PIS

Colas Rail class 37 about to depart Dames station

Deltic 55009 arriving at Damems

Class 47 in the red RES livery in the headshunt at Oxenhope

Large logo class 37, Freightliner class 70 and an EWS class 08 all at Oxenhope

At the @worthvalley.bsky.social today, lots of noise and a variety of livery!

Ah that is much better 😊

Shame Wellington is so far from the built up area, I've a horrible feeling a large car park is planned

Cream and red canopy with glass roof, stone building to the left, stone platform in the middle and track to the right

Same as last pic but the other side of the building. Tables and chairs from the cafe also on the platform

Class 158 arrives into the platform, signal box in the background

Cream and red canopy to the right, semaphore signals to the left and centre

Hellifield, what a station 😍

#Settle&CarlisleLine

Ah yes the Bristol and Bristol train 🤣🤣

Single track line with MK1 camping coach next to it. The loch to the left and background. Blue sky with white fluffy clouds

Double arrow sign for Loch Awe on the side of a road. The loch in the background with mountains in the far distance

View from the footbridge, single line and platform to the left, loch to the right with a castle in the distance

Kilchurn castle in the distance across the loch. Mountains in the background

New favourite station..... possibly...

Loch Awe

🤯

Wait what only 20 years between them?? The Western feels heritage and old but the 58 is a modern design in my head 🤣

A pair of class 390s at London Euston, both carrying the number 390 200

Ermmm, both these trains have the same number.....

I would say proper traction throughout, but those HST power cars have dull engines in them 😭

Religion has no place in secular conversations, keep using CE and BCE Paul 😁

Inside a 4VEP with a view of Corfe Castle

4VEP cab at Corfe Castle

Class 33 arriving at Corfe Castle

A pair of NSE locos! Class 73 and class 47 at Swanage

A very Southern region gala 😍😍😍
#SwanageRailway

Purple class 170 272 at Norwich station. To the right is the platform and station canopy

Back in its old stomping ground!
Ex TfW, Ex Greater Anglia now with EMR, seen at Norwich with a Liverpool service.

Ooo yes 😂😍

Yeah I think there are still some on the platform at CHX but I didn't check as I went through

A new style LED departure boards at Charing Cross with a clock designed to look like the old NSE ones

Wide shot of the same image, includes the station roof and a glimpse of the platforms

That's cool!

Exactly what Hammersmith bridge should be once the works are done

Unknown Shunter at Buckfastleigh South Devon Railway

Does anyone know the number of this shunter? It was parked up at Buckfastleigh on the South Devon Railway, but had no visable ID. Looking online there is apparently a class 09 here but all pictures I can find of it are in green

Dover Priory station seen from a nearby hill. Sidings to the left, a three platform station in the centre with canopies and station building At the top a tunnel mouth can be seen

A class 375 travels along the coastal route, taken from the cliff top path.

Folkestone east sidings and the surrounding town Two sets of 375s are berthed in the sidings

The old Folkestone harbour line can still just be made out curving away from the mainline

A few pictures from my walk the other day in the Dover/Folkestone area along the clifftop path

And almost a standard hour timetable!
The gap 1300-1330 for a crew break I assume?

That's such a cute little entrance!

"Live updates:"
That's a choice for the headline...

Ah thanks! That's really clever

What was the reason for the offset pantograph? I'm sure I watched a video about it a while ago but I've forgotten why now 😂
