Off on an adventure. The first of 2025. @greateranglia.bsky.social 745008 is my chariot to Stratford.

January was the soft launch of the SWR 701s, so I spent the day trying to get all the Aventra types in use on a random day.

More highlights. 1 January 2024 and I was a guest of ERS as they sponsored a game at Carrow Road.

November and this is currently my final trip. #Venice. Trips to Catania, Berlin and Paris since have been cancelled. All being well, I’m back in Venice on Saturday.

October featured another new country and city…Bucharest. #Romania

October featured another new country and city…Bucharest. #Romania

October started with a trip to #Naples and its insane new Line 6.

September was a new country and a new city. #Lisbon

Spent our wedding anniversary in #Paris at the end of August…when it was announced I had a new job!!!

Back to 2024 review. August saw a few days in Pompeii and Naples #Italy

PSG 3rd kit, Venezia 23/24 home kit and ridiculously strong Espresso from Venice! That will do 🎅🏼

I’ll do more 2024 pics later, but will finish July with this. I won a 7-a-side trophy at the @canaries.co.uk CSF The Nest facility. Lumbering striker who doesn’t score but does assist!

It’s still July, but a day trip to #Paris happened. This was the 23rd, which is the anniversary of Dad dying, so I did something to cheer me up.

2024 in review and it’s July. My wife’s birthday trip to #Milan and #LakeComo.

June now, and my first trip to #Venice. Been again since and going again before the end of the year. Love the place.

Also in May, I went to see PSG in the Coupe de France final in Lille. That was an awesome experience.

2024 in review and we’re into May. #Vienna was the destination. I had a respiratory illness and got infested with bed bugs. Not a fan of the Austrian capital.

Into April and #Budapest was the destination. I really liked the city.

2024 in review. #Berlin was March’s destination and a final victory over my #Gremlins.

2024 in review. February was a visit to #Copenhagen.

Bits of 2024 in review. #Paris in January.

Off on an adventure. @greateranglia.bsky.social 745005, with its poppy livery, is my chariot.

Sunderland away. A long way to go for the predicted collapse.

A pleasant afternoon in Norwich. A fine city.

There it is. The first Modern Railways published since I became Editor. I’m so proud of it.

Off on an adventure. @greateranglia.bsky.social 745009 is my chariot to London.

A nice 4-2 win. #OTBC

Norwich is a fine city. The view from a mate’s place.

Some pics from today’s trip to Doncaster.

A Pullman HST in Doncaster West Yard this morning.

Blue skys for Blue-sky! #Team70 70015 waiting at Banbury earlier today to allow disrupted passenger trains to pass

Whoops. Was passing through a major shopping centre. There was a Black Friday event…I’m only human.

The blue tick nonsense on Elon’s site about this petition that “cannot be ignored” when the petition to reverse Brexit had to be because it was against “the will of the people” is exactly why this site is so much nicer, tolerant and ‘bot free. Nice, innit?

Some pics from my first #GoldenSpanners event as Editor.

37510 hauls Eastern Rail Services Mk.3s and 1203 (bought from LS Group) through Cremorne Lane Crossing as the 5M57 0926 Yarmouth-Castle Donington. The stock will be used on Cl.93 WCML testing next week.

West Brom away.

Off on an adventure. @greateranglia.bsky.social 745007 is my chariot to London.

A mate is raising funds for the Movember foundation, who have three core pillars (Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer and Men's mental health). The mission is to change the face of men's health. They've funded some groundbreaking research into the above. uk.movember.com/team/2450558...

#NewPaintMonday Newly painted 57002 hauls a pair of mk2s and a pair of mk1s passed Nortoft Lane and DIRFT. I do like this lined black livery, looks very smart! @LocoServicesGrp

Off on an adventure. My first day as Editor of Modern Railways.

A new chapter for me starts tomorrow… www.modernrailways.com/article/rich...

Some images from today’s tournament. We raised almost £900!!!

Today I’m playing in a football tournament I’ve organised to raise funds for the family of my 2-year-old niece who has been diagnosed with leukaemia and whose parents must stay with her, thereby affecting their work. 48 players have donated time and money. People are great at times!

Anyone had a bot follow them yet? Already had that. Good ol’ block…

Off on an adventure.

A clip of the greatest intro of all time performed by band and orchestra supporting the greatest singer of all time at the Royal Albert Hall last month.

Good morning Italy.

I will post railway stuff on here, I promise, but until I start at Modern Railways I’m enjoying time off. This was this evening’s view…the sunset in Venice.

Leaving Venice Airport in style.
