0700 Sheffield-St Pancras 3rd December 2025...the first Aurora in revenue service 810010 did the honours. #eastmidlandsrailway #emr #810

On a recent trip to London I finally managed to get a ride on 465908 from Orpington to Victoria. THE best looking networker out there. I'm sure @serailway.bsky.social agrees?

A Yougov survey I did today asked for my favourite book... I don't really have a favourite but I did put " I hate JK Rowling" I thought that was a good one ..

TW. Needs to be widely shared with cisgender people, especially politicians. Utterly horrifying that Britain has come to this- that most of Britain is just looking the other way while a whole community is being eliminated from society because of lies and hatred. transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Little visit to the #rail200 inspiration train at #Freightliner depot at Doncaster Fairly interesting, A 90 and 66 on display which was good.

Another day of disruption at work , Add in a Person hit by a train (Not my train but we were coming in the other direction) and it all gets a bit much. Thankfully I've a lovely wife who will listen to my tale. And just lifts me up , I am so lucky. ❤️💗

Just a reminder that this is still very much accurate and relevant. Even when the EHRC publish the Code of Practice, which does not change the actual law.

Just posted a train picture, usually means I'll post a picture of me too ... because why not.. 🏳️‍⚧️ shout out to all my trans followers and allies ❤️

Favourites from the Greatest Gathering? 465908 in Gorgeous NSE, love a Eurostar TMST and of course class 50s.... 🥰

Many alterations on the Midland today due to a 'line side fire' but when you look into what actually happened it's a really sad story... www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/emergen...

In this tough time for many, Transgender people need to know who our Allies are, as we fight for our rights. We deserve to experience love and safety fully, without shame and compromise.

Here's our little cat Pippa. She's a little beauty. ❤️ 😻😻

Remembering the 10 people who died in the Selby rail crash at Great Heck, 24 years ago on this day. Ten people lost their lives in this tragedy - railwaymen Raymond Robson, Paul Taylor and John Weddle (all GNER), Steve Dunn (Freightliner driver) and six passengers. Another 80 were seriously injured.

Sadly no NSE networkers today just a little trip to PBO with 2 91s. Nice to see the sun out and feeling warmer 😎

Rather be on this than the 1435 to Nottingham and back .... #3016

Yesterday Cleethorpes.. It was chilly, Windy and a little bit dull at times. But I feel I brought my own bit of colour to the place...

York is a 'Red Star station' that proclaims this rather old poster... What a great find!

I joined the @225group.org.uk last night. One of the only classes of loco I can actually say I've travelled behind every one of them. Had 2 on HST drags , Been pulled by a 67 numerous times and had a couple blunt end first. #Traingeek 😋

Just like a certain @coastwaywill.me a little trip away started with the Pride 'Zuma ....except I'm not going to Edinburgh.

2024 - 67401 miles 41 days, 13 hours & 34 minutes physically moving on a train... Very nearly 28 hours of delays 😬 Onto 2025 ...

Visited Bedford twice yesterday... A 9 day engineering block causing EMR services to terminate there. Made for quite a steady shift. Quite unusual for Sheffield traincrew to visit Bedford these days as we don't work 360s. Back to London tomorrow.

Merry Christmas to those that follow me. More average content to follow in the new year 🤣 Hope you have the best day you can 🌲⛄⭐⭐🎅🏻

Wife brought me a present today.. an #LNER Azuma plushie! 😁 Wonder if my company will do an Aurora plushie? 🤔

Working a Saturday evening shift! After 24 years on the railway nearly , it still opens my eyes!

36 years ago that terrible tragedy at Clapham happened... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clapham...

Unbelievable!

Well... It's certainly a bit blowy out! Scences of devastation outside...🙃 Not to take it away from people who really are feeling the full force of this storm of course! ☹️ #stormdarragh

0430 start .. 😴😴 0914 finish.. 😄😄 Joys of earlies 😏 Joys of engineering diagrams! ☺️ #Bedford

I’ve been out terrorising Nottingham today with @caitrose99.bsky.social, also met @connie.moe and @thegirlchlo.bsky.social for the first time which was lovely!

A good shift today! Over 10 hours , 4 trips , a cancellation along the way, but some great staff to work made up for it. Long weekend beckons!🚂🚃

In the sunshine 66617 pulls a rake of wagons on 6M17 Hull to Tunstead at Sheffield station. Driver stops just in the shade of the footbridge 😄
