Yesterday’s 1C14 16:20 departure from Princes Risborough saw D1501 run the length of the line non stop to Chinnor in 14 minutes. This time lapse shows the drivers view. (Unfortunately the thrash going up Chinnor bank meant the camera fell off the windscreen just after Wainhill crossing 🤦‍♂️)

You’re not wrong! I’ll pass on the suggestion… On that subject, here’s D1015 seen at Gloucester, masquerading as D1001 “Western Pathfinder”, on the Pathfinder Farewell 20 Dec 2025 📸 @locusinpes.bsky.social

D1015 and 31128 lay over in Chinnor yard between services on day two of our Diesel gala.

Based on the number of younger men wearing cyan tops with Revolout on them; I think the Manchester City football team just got off my train from Manchester to Euston for the game at West Ham this evening.

I feel confident that the sort of people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying tax would say that those fleeing war in other countries are not our concern and they should seek refuge in a neighbouring country. In this case I’d suggest Iran, which they can reach by small boat.

Thatcher using the proceeds of the North Sea oil to pay for a bunch of middle-class tax cuts, instead of investing in a sovereign wealth fund, was one of the biggest dick moves ever made, on behalf of the people of the UK.

A note of caution. Being arrested isn’t the same as being charged, and it’s a long way from a conviction and any consequential sentencing.

I love how eBay seem to be writing their prompts in a colloquial style.

A year ago saw the first train carrying passengers between Bicester & Milton Keynes. #westcoastrailways operated this and another half a dozen or so since then. @chilternrailway.bsky.social have yet to announce a start date for services despite announcing they were to be the operators last March.

No political interview or debate should be aired live. They should all be fact-checked by agreed impartial bodies and then edited accordingly to remove any falsehoods. Gave an hour long interview and only 5 minutes made it to air? That's on you.

So QAnon spent years spreading conspiracy theories that the government was run by a cabal of elite pedophiles and it turns out they supported the actual cabal of elite pedophiles to get into power and destroy democracy.

For easy reference. On the left, "agitators" and "domestic terrorists". Or the right, presidentially pardonned "freedom fighters".

What's the point of the state if it's not managing basic resources and industries. Railways, healthcare, power, water, post office and more should be publicly owned. In any sane system this wouldn't even be up for debate.

If we're going to ban social media and mobile phones for kids, then we need to ban Facebook and the Daily Mail for boomers. For the exact same fucking reasons.

I for one am absolutely ASTONISHED that privatising our public services in order to make shareholders rich didn't result in better, cheaper, more efficient public services.

I have an Irish passport but my partner has a British passport. Going to get a relaxing coffee whilst he's queueing with the Brits is the part of the holiday I look forward to the most.

If HS2 was a motorway, it would have been built by now! But because new rail projects are minutely analysed with this "value for the taxpayer" nonsense. If road building was held to the same level of scrutiny, a sizable amount of the road network would still be cart tracks.

Seeing as everyone seems to attempting to design their own GBR liveries, here's my naff attempt 😂. I think the main issue is that the 'must include red, white & blue' brief is always going limit any designer's options. I do think using a deeper 'GNER blue' could help though

After having a chicken (thigh!) burger from the Euston Leon last weekend my only thought is how this didn’t happen sooner. The service was poor and the food very bad quality, while the price was more than the Burger King elsewhere in the station for a similar meal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Shamina Begum must be held accountable for her actions when she was 15. Whereas I should not, because I was a mere child.

At what point do Starmer, the Tory advisors he's surrounded himself with, and his cabinet of cowards look at the polls and realise that keeping Daily Mail readers' obsessions and talking points in the headlines every day has been a fucking disaster?

Footpaths are for pedestrians. The clue is in the title. So stop riding your fucking bikes and scooters on them.

Remembrance Day is now dominated by performative nonsense. You don't need a house sized poppy and a model spitfire to show you care about the sacrifices made for the country. Where's the sense of dignity and the quiet respect gone?
