Well it seem like there’s been not many new stations open this year! But 2 more are on the way! Here’s a guide to the new stations, including first train times & new stations coming soon! (Totally not hinting a new look for Rail Statistics! 😉)

Been and finally checked out Huddersfield after reopening after theTRUpgrades 30 day blockade! To show how much Huddersfield has changed since TRU started. Here’s 3 pics, pic 1 (July 2023), pic 2 pre-closure (June 2025) and pic 3 post closure (October 2025)

Well well looks like I’m back in South wales and the weathers being Welsh! But god damn I love the Cardiff Valley Lines! Why because it’s what every other city/urban area should be set up!

Well what’s a #greatestgathering day! Seeing loads of fab trains! Will say the HS2 (895s) will Be the best trains ever based on the current mocks, my god there ace not to mention legroom is mint! (I’m 6ft 3 and still had loads of space) Oh and sit in a cab of a 150 & 507.

Well well……. The East Midlands, it’s been full of surprises. Mainly EMR and XC causing delays and cancellations. I’d go as far to say Northern and TPE are more reliable.

New Ranger and Rover logging and discovery coming soon! Search for all Ranger/rovers/travelcards plus supports PAYG areas (South wales and London & SE) Plus quick and easy way to log these tickets and track delay repay. (This is Work in progress and no where near done yet)

Well yesterday was something! It was launch night for my first public exhibit featuring some amazing graphic design that I’ve worked on the past 9 months. Plus you can now see even more of the GBR branding concept I showed a few weeks ago in IRL. 1/2

Exciting news! I've got a public exhibit at the 2025 Showcase in Huddersfield from 7th to 20th June. You can find me on the 3rd floor. Where you can find more of the GBR concept that I shared last week, along with some fun 90s nostalgia.

With SWR now nationalised and GBR upcoming. It’s time I’d share that I’ve been working on a radical concept of GBR and here it is! (I’ll be showing more in the coming weeks)

As you might be able to tell, we’ve been busy! New video out now! We Rode (Part Of) The Longest Train Journey in the UK! youtu.be/hxXS7iuPGXQ

You won’t believe this

Well after 265 miles & 4 hours and 16mins I’ve unfortunately left the aberzance at Tiverton Parkway to make the last XC back to Leeds, so I guess I’ll do all that in reverse. Am I mad maybe?

Great to hear @mikewillsee.bsky.social on the BBCs Radio 4, Today show on the last aberzance

It’s been a while since I uploaded a video and well this wasn’t a planned video but today the West Yorkshire Metro is no-more youtu.be/jYF4v4zmJ-4

When you wake up 9 months later to discover that you photobombed Claudia Winkleman in Sheffield last July without realising.

If you had to give England, Wales and Scotland a colour to represent each country, what would it be? I think it should be: England - Red Scotland - Blue Wales - Green Do you agree?

Well what a unexpected and spontaneous week! Saw a rouge southerner in the north, ended up traveling 9 hours north to Fort William, Ticked of 2 new stations Morar & Mallaig. Plus a dusting of a sunset to end the spontaneity!

Well this is embarrassing! 🫤 This is longest I’ve gone not being on a train in maybe a year, this needs to change. Where should I go? (I need suggestions)

If you had to pick one look for Great Britain’s rail network, which would you choose? The bog standard “double arrows” NR logo or a complete facelift with a prototype GBR “movement” logo? What’s your thoughts? Is it time to ditch the double arrows?

Happy New Year and let’s hope 2025 is as bad as the weather. in 2024, I’ve traveled 11.400 miles and 62 chains by Train Lost a full day in delays The longest journey was London Euston to Fort William at 560 miles Oh and I some unique for 2024, I’ll share that later

Okay now this is ace! Keep your eyes out for a new iOS app, Station Checker or Basher? (Haven’t decided on the name yet) coming soon

Merry belated Christmas and a early happy new year. In the last few days I’ve been coding a new iOS app (I mean ChatGPT created the code for it) So why use a excel spreadsheet to track stations when you can do it in a app and import your current spreadsheet too

Mytholmroyd - Station 70 of 70, in West Yorkshire. Meaning I’ve now been to all stations in West Yorkshire and means I’ve completed my first county!!!! Oh, and after grabbing Stocksmoor on the Penistone Line on Tuesday means I’ve now been to 1/5 (20%) of all stations in GB!! What’s next for 2025?

Hands down! These might be some of the best train pics I’ve snapped today! Though where were they taken?

Hmm these are some odd barriers at Bredbury?

Ah what’s the opposite to south? Well it seems to be Reddish North apparently

Heya folks! New video time and today I’m heading to one of Yorkshires best looking station! Though it’s a shame it’s the least used station, on the least served line in Yorkshire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8d3...
