Great News! The sale of Pin Badges and Mugs in the Charity Christmas Tram Fundraiser has managed to net £130 for Nottingham Central Women's Aid! I'm working on arranging the depot tour and shipping some of the last orders - the store is still open and merchandise is available!

public transport integration done right want to get to the hospital? how about the bus? Oh wait, what about the tram? Oh you want to park and ride, you can do that too!

🚋 9 Months at NET Passed my 9 month probation today and what a 9 months it's been driving trams through Nottingham What better a tram than 211 to start me off, the first tram I ever carried passengers in solo Feel free to ask any questions about tram driving again, haven't done one in a while!

i have taken overtime for the first time on a saturday let’s see how this goes

Can’t wait to spend a rest day on a trip somewhere after a while, I heard there’s a pool of some kind involved 👀

☀️ it’s decided to be a nice day so, before I start work, it’s time for a little walk around ilkeston stumbled upon a nice park next to a busy dual carriageway, would recommend

The Year is.. New From breakups to breakdowns, redundancy to recovery and hopelessness to happiness, 2024 was certainly a rollercoaster year! Here's to another year of just being ✨ older ✨ and being around cool people like @ashleysx.co.uk @abbygirlboss.bsky.social and @caitrose99.bsky.social

It's time for another one of those posts! Last night whilst at work I was unfortunately the victim of homophobic and transphobic abuse, coupled with intimidation and damage towards the tram Your normal reminder that ASB towards anyone, especially public transport workers, is never acceptable 1/2

Hello! Apologies for the delay in releasing the Depot Tour Tickets, trying to organise something like this when everyone's on Annual Leave is a challenge Rest assured that there will certainly be a depot tour!

Back to Norwich for all of 10 minutes, before visiting sunny Lowestoft, before then going to Ipswich @ashleysx.co.uk and I are working somewhat in a circle - after surviving Berney Arms in this wind it was nice to feel the warmth of a FLIRT

Berney Arms! I've finally been, it was cold, it was windy, and it was desolate - except for the tallest thing in East Anglia @ashleysx.co.uk 23 minutes felt like 23 hours

And that's Nottingham-Norwich all ticked off line wise Next up, Norwich, where @ashleysx.co.uk has convinced me to get a Hare, named Kilometres after his EMR partner Miles Next stop: Berney Arms

a new child has been found

FLIRTing around the Christmas Tree I've not used GA enough so, with the help of @ashleysx.co.uk it's time to fix that i forgot how good these trains were

This is Wilkinson Street, the next stop is Basford. all going well i should be driving a tram again tomorrow, just in time for Christmas! 🎉 best catch up on the operational notices

hello internet not blonde anymore 😎

RIP Connie's Hair Colour Birth-December 2024 All will be revealed later but it's time to temporarily vanish my natural colour 👀🏳️‍⚧️

We've made it! @thegirlchlo.bsky.social, @minionjosh.me and I have come up for a visit to the North East Locomotion first and then who knows what the rest of the day holds

it is 0748 it's a rest day, and im awake What could possibly be going on today? Something to do with a car, some trains and thick accents Guess we'll have to wait and see 👀

happy friday i have been told i've grown an inch by the doctor, well - could be worse news to celebrate friday, have pictures from my last four fridays, also tramshop.connie.moea

Over £35 raised so far, plenty still available! Sharing is appreciated

according to some very nice addon apps for bluesky i've had some frequent repeat visitors over the past few days - hello there have a picture of my dog, frank

Fair to say that was a very impromptu but very fun visit from @ashleysx.co.uk Trams, Buses, Pepsi Screenwash and a stay over visit, all from 10 minutes of DMs with me and @thegirlchlo.bsky.social

Hucknall!!!! @thegirlchlo.bsky.social and I been up to Hucknall to get @ashleysx.co.uk the 70 km/h NET Experience - now including single line protection Now it’s time for a ride to some other bits of the network

drama is so overrated happy sunday

Unfortunately the Gambling Commission disagreed with the raffle idea however work have okayed the idea to sell the merchandise for charity funds, none of this merchandise has been given to the general public before and now you can get some, all for a charity donation

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!

So pleased to announce this! I’m hosting a Charity Giveaway throughout December in partnership with my employer, NET! Tram memorabilia, badges and an exciting event are all up for grabs later in the month, all supporting a great cause! More information to follow but please 🔁 and share!

have i just filled out a 15 minute office of national statistics survey that we were randomly selected for yes, yes i have - and its all worth it for the £10 tesco e-voucher

Invested in a new (second hand) coat and scarf for a grand total of £14

Hello from Highbury Vale (Mainline) These are the only stations on the network that have the same public facing name - internally one is Branch and one is Mainline - this is because it’s the deviating point for services towards Line 2 A few other stations have different names internally too 👀

And that’s our London trip done and dusted A fun trip with lots done (not all shared here) and quite a few stations and routes visited - all with the lovely company of @thegirlchlo.bsky.social Now back home featuring @coastwaywill.me and EMR More 📸 in the posts below!

This is… Bromley South A nice little station with some very weird frequencies and stopping patterns - the darkness quickly set in but with trains stopping every few minutes we managed to get plenty of pictures @thegirlchlo.bsky.social

Next up: Stratford and Westminster A quick visit to Stratford to get me a better bag (surviving on a tote bag is hell) plus a visit to Popeyes After that a visit to Westminster to get a few bits from the Parl Gift Shop and then a walk to Embankment for the next part @thegirlchlo.bsky.social

Turns out Rainham not only is a great spot for HS1 spotting, it also has a Tesco with far too many homeware aisles More pictures to come but these are the best out of the ones I’ve quickly processed! @thegirlchlo.bsky.social

Time to get out and about Our first trip takes me, @thegirlchlo.bsky.social and Miniskog to Rainham via the DLR, Jubilee Line and then c2c Time to look out for some 🇪🇺⭐️ and some ↘️🚄

Luton Airport Parkway ✅️ Luton ✅️ Stations 501 and 502, Parkway feels soulless, but Luton feels sketchy, not a good mix at all, glad to never have to come back. Thankfully me and @connie.moe quickly departed amongst chaos due to cancellations and delays in the area.

Hello London! We're in London overnight, planning for a full day out tomorrow - in true fashion we've already used EMR, GA, C2C, Jubilee, DLR and the Metropolitan line because why not! Now time for a long awaited dominos @thegirlchlo.bsky.social

Seems we’ve got some new maps and fare advertisements up!

Sunday evening at Nottingham Station - anyone want a turbostar?

We’re going to be heading to that there London this week, any transport related things or spots people recommend checking out? @thegirlchlo.bsky.social

This isn't a tram!! 222014 seen at Nottingham Station this evening, just to break up the platform work

Hello from Nottingham Station, again! Thousands of additional people are expected to use the network tonight thanks to sporting events and gigs, so it'll be a busy few hours here for me Any questions about the network or working at NET generally - just ask!

But it looks so drinkable and hygienic??

Back at work for another 4 days! Starting today off with some Disruption to all lines due to a broken down car - extended wait times of up to 15 minutes across the network (Photo not from today)
