So despite Beaulieu Park opening **tomorrow**, tickets to and from the station still cannot be bought on @greateranglia.bsky.social TVMs!
This might need to be sorted soon!
The lovely man at Liverpool Street yesterday didn't even realise there was a new station opening... yep its definitely happening!

If you don't want me to be around with your group please tell me. I would prefer to people to kindly tell me to sod off rather than make posts specifically about me then blocking me.
I apologise to the people i was around yesterday for joining you when not invited.
Was great to see you and Nat! Thanks for letting me tag along with you!

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!
Out at a party last night so wasn't expecting to wake up until about 12 and then was gonna chill but woke up about 9:30 and fancied a trains day!
701017 is up first into Waterloo!
Another really good day out on the rails!
Was out and about in the Birmingham area and was successfully able to tick off 19 stations!
I've been awake since 3:45AM though so I could really do with my bed! Luckily 701037 is speeding me towards it! (not literally don't panic! Lol)
And a very good albeit early morning from Shepperton!
My second attempt to catch this service and luckily it was a success!
450020 running on her own is my early train towards that there London!
Whoever said there was no more 465s on Ashford via Maidstone services... yeah maybe not!
Not only did a 465 come down, it was 465908 #NetworkSoutheast
Seen at West Malling with a London Victoria to Ashford International service!
Hello! Welcome to the visit and change at Ashford 3 times in 2hrs section of the day!
Having cleared the awkward stations of Westenhanger, Sandling (which was my 950th station by the way!) and Pluckley, its back on the Charing Cross line to Headcorn!
Good Morning and Happy Wednesday!
After having 450041 into town this morning, i then spotted 701046 with its new GBR stickers!
Anyway, plan for today is Southeastern stations but a fire near the track at Otford has meant I've already had to replan!
Let's see how this goes!
📌 Honiton
It was going so well... not!
Lost about 12 minutes on the run down from London but it's got to the point the signaller has let the train towards London ahead of us on the single line. Supposed to be out at 11:16, now not leaving until **11:55**!
Who's idea was this!
Can normally do home to Waterloo in roughly 1:30hr. Today... 2:20hrs due to both the cancellations of 2H10 and 2H12 getting stuck behind a broken down train at Wimbledon!
Anyway, luckily made my connection onto 1L17 which I will take all the way to Exeter with 159009 leading!
First train of SWR under government control is.... cancelled! Sign of things to come, yeah probably!
Anyway, its Monday! Which is normally bad but today is good cos its time for a big trip. A VERY big trip!
455739 & 5728 take me into Waterloo!
Some slight delays on the Coastway have been helping! A late train meant I was able to grab Southease really quick and then jiggle a few things about to stick on plan for the last part of the day!
Southease ✅️
Plumpton ✅️
Falmer ✅️
London Road ✅️
Cooksbridge ✅️
I think I may have a bit of a wait for the next train!
Is good cos it does luckily mean:
Horsham ✅️
Pulborough ✅️
Billingshurst ✅️
Amberley ✅️
Christ's Hospital ✅️
Back to Gatwick now to then head South!
