More welfare purges are coming. Hmm, I wonder how much, all the rich Labour donors will be affected by these expected cuts?

I just watched this video. I just cried. It’s so rare to see someone fighting so passionately FOR trans rights.

A plumber has arrived to instal my new kitchen. Let That Sink In

Another train day for me and Rosie.

So in my dream last night, a large 1ft span (friendly) spider kept running away into the garden (of my long dead grandparents) with my floppy hat. It then had hundreds of baby maggot-things, which between us we sorted food for! Pleasant and strange one!!!

Guess who’s going to be busy for the next few… forevers!

This two-car diesel turned out to be my 1000th european unit (with sister unit 648196)

Today’s breakfast is brought to you by the letters N and O. And also the letters BACON. 🥲

Treated myself to a bunch of flowers. It made two vases, but this one was nicer.

For those that are interested, there’s loads of topless women here. Mosley Street museum. 😳🙄🤣

Visited the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, and leave with astronaut earrings! Like you do🤷‍♀️

Manchester can be pretty at times.

Yes and yes more

We’ve treated ourselves on trip No.279 🚂🥰

🎶Misty morning, don’t see no sun, I know you are out there somewhere having fun 🎶

I keep seeing these flags everywhere. They must be lovely people from that country. 🥰

Lovely perspective art in Wilhelmshaven

If anyone needs anything, I can pop into here for it?

Rosie is tucked in for the night. Now I just need someone to do the same for. 🥰

Every lamppost where I’m staying has Pride rainbow stripes on it. 🏳️‍⚧️🥳🥰

Feeling blue?

Here’s a station I’ve long wanted to Du 🤪🙄😁🥰

Morning all. Branch-line bonus at Einbeck, with dogbox 640025

Anything can happen in the next half hour! 🙄🤣

Well that was unpleasant. 🥲 About 60 snarky, half-drunk blokes barking dog noises and jeering comments at me on the train. I just about found a seat and ignored them as best I could. No physical abuse, but plenty of verbals, that they wouldn’t want their family members to endure.

🥰🥰🥰 Uelzen railway station ❤️❤️❤️

Rosie enjoying the sights. 🥰

Motor controls for the Moor Express A bit different to what @runsonrails.bsky.social is used to? 🤷‍♀️ Too many beer bottles for sure.

Rosie went on the Moor Express 🚂🥰

Our rather wonderful ticket seller cum tour guide, is now in charge of the bar.🍺 The Moor Express.

I’m on the Moor Express. 🚂🥰 A diesel unit set of 1-0-1 formation. Bicycle carriage in the centre, with dogboxes at either end. 2 1/2 hours from Bremen to Stade. 🚂🥳🥳🥳

Always nice getting a ‘jungen damen’ to start the day. 🏳️‍⚧️🥰

Rosie says good night. 🫂

This beauty turned up, and I developed changeofplan-itis. 🥳🚂🥰

Evening time. The a-bridged version.

A passenger train just went by. Pax sat in their cars!

I thought I had escaped the test alert, due to me being out of the country. Nope

Bad St. Peter-Ording might have been renamed Good, if the station coffee shop had been open. 😤

Rosie enjoying her travels.

Yesterday, for the first time in a few years, I nabbed a steam, diesel and electric locomotives. Diesel and electric units too.

Ooh, what’s this? Two local buses arriving to meet the hourly train. 🚂🚌👍

More comfortable than an 802!

Whoops. I’ve ended up on another noisy train. 🚂🥰

Loco travel of a more pleasant era.

Some days are better than others.

My train was two minutes late. I might just let them off.

I bumped into an old friend recently. I asked if he was still a stamp collector. He said yes, but kept moaning about the size of his reference books. I told him he should ask for a flatter list. 🙄

At least the two teens across from me have stopped giggling now. 🙄🤷‍♀️

About 120 people waiting for a late-running rail-replacement bus. It’s been nice knowing you all. 🤪 🚂🚌
