A replica poster on the wall of the cottage I stayed on overnight. Note the address is New York

Good morning Bannau Brycheiniog. Lovely day for a wedding

Looking for something to watch tonight. How about a bit of old railway history? Enjoy youtu.be/h3WAftstv5Y

Just how many railways could one small Welsh town sustain? Having made a bit of a generalisation on a previous video, come with me as I unravel the Spaghetti that was Pontypool. Also has an IET on a strange working.

Visiting the old home town of Reading. Good to see the 29 still goes to Caversham

Every co-working space needs a dog with a hat. Prove me wrong...

New railway experience this morning on a GWR IET. Points failure at Newport so reverse out of Newport, driver changes ends, back into different platform and away. Having units sometimes has advantages.

A lot of people are starting to understand what it felt like when Savile was uncovered. Someone who you thought was a bit odd turned out to be a wrong 'un. Except with Epstein the discoveries are of a much greater magnitude

When your sister casually mentions she is going on a train in the USA. Except it wasn't casual and she is buzzing. Heading out on the Californian Zephyr

My daughter sent me a picture she took from a work event in Manchester. I decided to make it more French.

You won’t read about this in @telegraph.co.uk…

In case you missed it, some drone footage of Rail relics in South Wales and my updates to the channel. Plus a bit of cleaned up canal which is always good to see. youtu.be/b2xKx5RytNM

@jagohazzard.bsky.social Just watched your Morton In Marsh video, fascinating. FYI Brunel also built standard gauge railways including the Taff Vale Railway! I've done a video on the Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford railway, it really was a pioneering line. youtu.be/-MSNh_iKFeY?...

Canal clean up, drone over railway remains and a channel update. Live now on YouTube youtu.be/b2xKx5RytNM?....

2026: Nigel Farage lies about the vaccine rollout claiming the UK did it faster because of Brexit 2020:: Dr June Raine (CEO of the MHRA), "We have been able to authorise the supply of this vaccine using provisions under European law which exist until the first of January"

My Christmas Book haul. Vanished Wales, which I was a guest on last year, @lateralcast.com which I need to be a guest, as Tom doesn't have enough Boomers on there, and Map Men who would probably guest with me on Lateral. Now there's a connection.

I haven't posted a blog for a couple of years. However with all that is happening with X I have taken finger to keyboard. Why people are moving away from X? What are the alternatives? “ I don’t have time to post everywhere” Why you need a Plan B Enjoy! huxleypiguk.blogspot.com/2026/01/soci...

Details of the first stage of plans to re-open a historic railway tunnel to pedestrians and cyclists have been revealed

Happy New Year from the Gren memorial at Hengoed. Sitting on a 19th century viaduct.

Something for your diaries. I am talking at the Roath Local History Society on the Taff Vale Roath Branch in January. Visitors welcome

A memorial in Berlin. Trains to Life, Trains to Death. The children at one end, with an intact suitcase, are heading for the Kindertransport and a new life in the UK. The others... You know the ending.

Thank you YouTube for sending me their 20 anniversary poster. Added to my gallery.

Lovely to see Middle Lock, at Forest Farm nature reserve, has been cleaned up. Yeh lock has been emptied of debris and the stone work cleaned. Great to see.

Merry Christmas one and all. Or whatever you celebrate

Quick modern short on my other channel, an update from Ty Glas station showing the crossing and progress on the new platform youtube.com/shorts/90TOF...

A book exchange in Pontcanna, Cardiff.

These are bad enough but when they ask if you would like a shot as well, then guaranteed hangover beckons.

The SAS Gingerbread squad. Light projection at Charlottenburg Schloss in Berlin

And so it's now Scotland that has these legends still running passenger services. Probably not for much longer, but First Class from Inverness to Perth is a real treat. Photo from June 2022.

Foggy Berlin from the top of the TV Tower, with the Welt Balloon (a tethered balloon) in the air.

Christmas is here. Tree up and sherry opened. Continuing some photos from Berlin. This is Spandau square.

And remember kids...

Have you ever seen a 0-3-0 wheel arrangement on a loco? Take a look at this. The Patila State Monorail in action at the Dehli Railway Museum. Bizzare youtu.be/ilBsu3vrVQY?...

My review of the launch of the Cardiff Central Station upgrades just snuck past 500, which is about right for a shorter video. Have a look at what is planned to happen in Wales busiest station

The Trabant is still a symbol of Berlin. They pop up all over the place.

I visited the launch of Cardiff Station, Past, Present and Future event at Cardiff Central Station. What does the past have to do with it? youtu.be/PGrsdmW-9ZM

With the Rhymney Line closed this weekend to energise the wires, the rail replacement buses line up at Cardiff ready for duty. A DB 66 passes in the background

The official launch of the revamp of Cardiff Central station including the Metro platforms took place today. Hedi Alexandra MP, Jo Stevens MP, Ken Skates MS and the heads of Network Rail and TfW for the region signed a memorandum of understanding to launch the event.

@stevehacketthq.bsky.social and my most listened to album....

Seems me and my granddaughter seem to play this a lot

Fun house at the Spandau Winter Fair in Berlin.

Just a regular reminder that at the end of Jan a bunch of awesome, transport living ladies are getting together to make connections and have the very best time www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1972849450...

Happy St Andrew's Day. Have a picture of Loch Ness to celebrate

Berlin. Always good

My wife thought this was funny. 🤔
