390 Driver

It's a front row lockout for the Pendo's on P1 and P2 at Euston 🏎

Happy Friday everyone ☀️

Have a great day Chris 👍

Pictured last month, 390 131 sits waiting on Platform 2 at Euston next to the recently arrived sleeper 😴

390 121 all prepped and ready for the early morning run North ☀️

390 016 sits idle on Platform 3 at London Euston waiting for it's return run North.....or 390 200 depending on how good your eye sight is 🧐

You know it 😂

390 129 "Brett" gets ready for the run North from Platform 16 at Euston....the closest platform to the mess room, very important route knowledge for the end of the shift 🏃

Train over plane.....especially today 👀

390 121 "Opportunity" sits on Platform 6 at Manchester Piccadilly waiting for me to stop faffing about and run it back down South 🏃

Something a little bit faster to grace your timelines with today 💨 The TransManche Super Train or simply the Class 373 sits in Platform 10 at London St Pancras.

Is it just me or does the new Eurostar logo feel a bit of a downgrade to the previous 2? 🤔

Spring is in the air (for now) and I'm at work 🙄 Why does it always seem to rain on your days off 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, here's set 002 on Platform 1 at Euston waiting for it's next run down the WCML 🚄

One Pendo being replenished on Platform 3 sat next to another, set 128, also getting ready to head North out of Euston ⬆️

I hope everyone's week is going swimmingly so far 🤞

The 20 odd year workhorse of the West Coast sitting on the stops at Euston next to the shiny new kid on the block 💁‍♂️

It surprises me how they've made that number as big as it could possibly be but at the same time also less visible 🤷‍♂️😂

I think they should go bigger every time they peel off 😅

I'm trying to remain anonymous Rich and you put up a picture of me 😳😂

You Liverpool lot and your shiny new trains 🙄😂

I know on my last medical they said that my eye sight has got slightly worse but honestly I think my colleagues at the Unit Number Painting Department are taking the mick with the size of this one 😳👀

A nice pair in Piccadilly last month with set 128 boarding for the return down South 💨

Clear aerodynamic lines visible on my unit, just don't ask any driver what causes the aerodynamic lines behind the cab window 👀😂

It wasn't me 😂 Must have been one of those dodgy Piccadilly lot 👀😂

A Saturday morning fry up and a lot of football over the weekend, the only thing that ruined it was having to work 👀

Hope everyone is having a great weekend 👌 A battered set 114 awaiting the Southbound departure from Manchester Piccadilly, pictured recently on a wet evening 💁‍♂️

Sorry for the radio silence lately 🫡 I've been enjoying a bit of family time but back to the iron road now 🚂

Here's set 040 ready for the North bound run in the early morning light ☀️

Still showing a faint arch underneath the vinyls of a past life 🔴

390 154 gets ready to leave Manchester on a cold January evening 🚄

Have a great weekend everyone ☀️

I always thought it was a strange decision to run it knowing that TSR was there 🤔 I'm sure NR will find another ESR to throw a spanner in the works shortly before this one sets off 😅

Another record attempt announced for the WCML 🙄 I don't mean to boast but I'm pretty sure I've set a few records on my going home trains already 💁‍♂️

Here's the 21 second failure 044 pictured a couple of months back 🚂

1 in, 1 out under clear skies at Euston last month 🚄

137 happens to be my least driven Pendo 👀 Just like my missus, always trying to avoid me 🤷‍♂️

It's Friday 🎉 or just another day if you're a shift worker 👀 Whatever you're up to this weekend have a great one 😊

390 127 ready to head back South from Manchester Piccadilly's Platform 5 🚂

390 005 pictured last month at Euston ready to head North to Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Gone are the days when you'd get a nice non stop run to Preston, first stop now is Warrington Bank Quay taking 1hr 43mins 💨

Old and older on show at Clapham Junction 👴

159 010 gets ready to depart with a down service towards Exeter whilst 450 041 heads towards its final destination of London Waterloo 🚂

Challenging conditions out there today....thick freezing fog, unable to see the signal until you're past the magnet and plenty of unexpected cautionary aspects whilst travelling at 125mph all provides for a challenging journey 👀 Hats off to everyone of my talented colleagues 👏

I've still got it......got flirted with recently in Tottenham 💁‍♂️

Greater Anglia 'Flirt' 745 104 gets ready to leave Tottenham Hale with an up Stansted Express service ✈️
