Good evening everyone. My tribute to a true railway icon, and one of the best designed trainsets ever to grace the rails. Happy 50th, InterCity 125! A line-up at London Paddington on 25/8/1994, nearest the camera is 43030, 43041, a hidden power car, and finally 43005. 😁👍

Remembering the Angels of Dunblane and their teacher on the 30th anniversary of that tragic day.
Thoughts, love and prayers to their families, friends and everybody affected.

Good afternoon everyone. Well worth the short hop out to see, D8096 and D8107 'Jocelyn Feilding 1940-2020) burst into the sunshine from the 304-yard Wilpshire Tunnel, Blackburn on the SRPS 'Seven Counties Rambler', 9/3/2025. 37403 was on the rear. Have a good afternoon all 😉👍

Good morning everyone. Following the traction change from electric to diesel at Preston, 40131 whistles away to itself as it takes the place of the more usual class 47 on a Euston-Blackpool North working during the summer of 1981. Have a great Friday and stay warm, all 😉👍

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
They paid the ultimate price for your freedom. You live your life the way you do because of them.

Good morning everyone. Could this be the last time? Who knows 🤷♂️ At 07.10 this morning, 56105 slogs up to the summit at Copy Pit with just 5 loaded bitumen tanks from Haverton to Preston. Volume up to maximum and enjoy while you can! Have a good day, all 😉👍

To the @SouthernRailUK driver who pulled into West Norwood, saw me standing on the wrong platform, watched me realise and sprint with a buggy out of the station and around it, and then reopened the doors even though he’d already closed them, I wish only good things for you always
