Took a journey on Chiltern Railways 'new' trains this morning as the Mk5a have entered service. Rode the first served from Birmingham Moor Street as far as Banbury, Chiltern Railways have called their new trains Chiltern Explorer. Video will be out tomorrow

Some places don’t do anything wrong, they just quietly irritate you! This Stop on the Heart of Wales Line has annoyed me so much that it about time to do something about it by finally getting it ticked off! Watch: youtu.be/Ur7NXcRH0sE

4 times I've been to this Railway Station on the Heart of Wales Line but haven't offically ticked this station off as Station ticking goes. 2 times have been jumping off the train for a quick selife, 1 time arrived and left on foot and the other was passing by and took a selfie while on the train

I spent time exploring some of the most overlooked suburban railway stations between Plymouth and Saltash. Quiet platforms, minimal facilities, and a reminder that not every part of the railway is busy or loud. A slower kind of railway video 🚉 Watch here: youtu.be/umjLabv2Qdg

The footage from the Class 455 Farewell Tour that you saw in Yesterday's video is now up on YouTube but under a new channel name! SimOnTrains Rail Movements as I listed the full footage from the tour that was captured youtu.be/Rv0gPFr4tQw

Currently working on something as there will be an announcement at 5pm today on my YouTube channel in the post section (Yes the first line at the bottom is a tease of this announcement as I wrote it last night) Channel Members and Patreon will know what this is it will become public at 5pm today.

Today’s video follows two back-to-back Class 455 farewell charters on South Western Railway. High demand turned one planned farewell into two runs, giving a rare chance to follow both on the same day. 🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/3L8o10Kilq4

Did enjoy visiting stations on what is dubbed London Quietest Railway Line. The Greenford Branch Line. Was meant to do this video in the Summer but didn't go ahead but still had everything written and went ahead filming this.

A Farewell Charter, which has kept me on my toes. South Western Railway Class 455 Charter was epic to chase! It was also great to meet everyone throughout the day and video will be out this coming Sunday! (28th December)

Just seen @jenonthemove.com latest video about riding the HSTs in their final day in England and this was beautiful to watch. Jen even said 'This is a proper feel good video' and that what this video is. Show Jen some support and do give this a watch as Jen has produced a beautful video

Ravensthorpe station has now closed as part of the TransPennine Route Upgrade and will be closed for 3 years! I paid a final visit before closure to document the station and explain what’s coming next. 🎥 youtu.be/bqaPgLG5exE

With GWR withdrawing the Castle Class HSTs, I travelled down to Devon & Cornwall to ride them one last time. A bit of nostalgia, a bit of chaos, and a lot of gratitude for nearly 50 years of service. Watch the farewell trip: youtu.be/PM3SX7ub-Dc Share your HST stories below.

While in Devon and Cornwall, I rode the GWR Castle Class sets for the final time and travelled to different locations. It was a wet and miserble day but didn't stop me! Video will be out at 4:45 on Sunday and you got roughly a week left before they retire from the GWR network on the 13th December!

This video is now useless! LOL Longton has been the least used Station in Staffordshire for the past 2 years but.... Longport has reclaimed the title! 79,242 Longport 81,226 Longton 98,734 Wilnecote (Staffs) 103,852 Blythe Bridge 135,854 Codsall youtu.be/EZ9a5UhRELc

I've been down in Devon and Cornwall for the past few days as I have been riding the GWR HSTs Castle Class sets before they retire. I am starting to edit the video while heading back home. It has been enjoyable. the video will be going out on Sunday.

During my weekend in Fishguard (last month now), I did look around Haverfordwest and honestly it a nice part of Wales.

Tomorrow's video is a challenge of visiting every single Station in the West Midlands Zone 1 to 5 which has the word Green in the Stations name! Video will be out at 4:45pm on Sunday

While in my weekend in Wales (Staying in Fishguard). I visited 2 different Western-most Stations. Milford Haven, the most Westernly Station in Wales and Johnston which has the fame being the most westernly Request Stop in Wales. Both Stations on the Milford Haven section of the West Wales Line.

Took a massive detour getting back home yesterday from Fishguard to Stafford to capture British Rail Class 89, 89001. Honestly, it was great seeing so many people out to see this. I did take plenty of photos from my weekend, will be sharing them throughout the week 👍

This weekend has been bloody brilliant with friends! Shame it wasn't longer! Stayed in Fishguard in Wales.

🚨NEW VIDEO🚨 Just released a new video exploring the line from Aberdeen to Montrose, including the historic point where rival companies once met at Kinnaber Junction during the Races to the North. Watch here: youtu.be/XXfp3P5uHfA A brilliant mix of railway history + coastal scenery. 🚆🌊

🚨 NEW VIDEO🚨 The Abbey Line in Hertfordshire was meant to close decades ago. Instead, it’s still going — and somehow feels like it shouldn’t exist in 2025. I travelled the line see how this line refused to die and why its special 🎥 youtu.be/Y8ri7Lv5bxA #Trains #Railways #AbbeyLine #UKrail

There a model railway that's is situated at Ulverscroft Grange in Leicestershire as the Trustees want to close this and replace it with Charity Shops. This Moel Railway plays a quiet but important role in mental health, therapy, social wellbeing, and lifelong learning 1/2 c.org/jcGK7Yhm5P

Currently working and editing on next Sunday's video. Any guesses?

Back on the Bentham Line as I looking around the Morecambe area including to ride the one per day Heysham Port Train.... but will it run? Video linked down below

Sunday, I was at Beaulieu Park Station for the Station opening and was really an epic day! Sometimes it is not about the trains, the stations, it is about the people which makes moments like this special and really enjoy my time chatting with everyone.

Tomorrow there will be another video! travelling back from Beaulieu Park, while having something to eat in High Wycombe (ticket was only valid via High Wycombe) & saw over Facebook that the Class 730/2s were debuting on the Trent Valley Line. So I went to ride the first Trent Valley Line service!

🚨 NEW VIDEO 🚨 Watch here: youtu.be/HgmGHpOGT98?... Travelled on a branch line which was suppose to be a secondary main line but has some gorgeous art Deco buildings

Went to Warley at Statfold on the Saturday, A model Railway show just outside Tamworth and managed to film a few layouts on display at the event. There a good 18 layouts that I managed to capture youtu.be/bY9ZJVSTud0

My friend John rented a car, and we went around some lineside locations to chase some steam trains. But the timings that caused havoc! youtu.be/-5z6K92MAH8?...

Stuck in Tamworth as my train got cancelled and the next one running 30 minutes late Still a lovely sunset and a Domino's pizza for my tea on the platform

I was on the Chessington Branch Line yesterday, which was the last railway line and had the last stations built by the Southern Railway before the outbreak of World War 2. If you love Art Deco... this is the line for you.

🚨 New Video 🚨 Went to Shildon for the 200th Celebration of the Stockton and Darlington Railway and seeing the replica of Locomotion No.1 on the mainline youtu.be/p8-tJw2HGKc?...

Was watching someone on YouTube talking about Familty history which reminded me of mine Family History. When I was looking during the Summer. Noticed Gilbert Wedgwood is potentially my 10th great-grandfather and that makes Josiah Wedgwood I my 6th to 8th distant cousins, several times removed

The YouTube channel I created 15 years ago celebrates a massive milestone! Hitting 10,000 Subscribers & this was a journey I started to reach this back in 2022. I'm honestly speechless and want to say a huge thank you for watching, subscribing, commenting, sharing... Thank you youtu.be/x65vlU8BI6Q

🚨 NEW VIDEO🚨 🚉 Beyond the famous Settle–Carlisle lies a section of line that’s almost forgotten… From Settle Junction to Skipton, I explore some of the overlooked stations, scenery & history of this unsung route. 🎥 Watch here 👉 youtu.be/7_KjWf4ERKk

The end is in sight to the 10,000 Subscribers goal... it possible it could be it today or tomorrow.

There was no video out yesterday as due to the busy week I had just didn't had time to get it ready. There even a few photos of editing the maps for this video on the train to Carlisle on Wednesday! It is ready to go at 5pm this evening as I travel from Settle Junction to Skipton.

The past 5 days have been awesome as it has been a good week off work. It has been great catching up with people and also meeting people for the first time as well to say hello. Here are a few photos of what I got up to between Wednesday and Saturday

While at Shildon, finally got to meet Jago Hazzard, great person to have a chat with.

I'm in a rock and a hard place at the moment. My next video, I want to use Locomotion No. 1 in motion for the thumbnail... problem is I don't have any photos, used a photo I took in Shildon and AI generated this using the photo I took. I know AI isn't everyone cup of tea, but what do you think?
