Farewell 455! 1983-2026, managed to ride the last service out of Waterloo!

50 years ago today...

Well its been quite a year for me especially in expanding horizons and putting jokes to bed! Went on some fantastic adventures to many different places with many great people, here's to more in 2026!

Just finished this excellent novel by @jayforeman.bsky.social and @markcooperjones.bsky.social as someone who isn’t a big time reader I must say I enjoyed it massively and if you’re someone who likes maps I’m sure you’d like it too! (providing you haven’t read it already)

It’s A-Level results day! Congrats to everyone who got into their top choices. A reminder too that my grades that I got last year match with this engineering firm

Am I the only person that gets oddly fascinated in looking at Manhole covers for telephone lines working out the eras they come from? (yes this is how niche my interests can be)

Well this was a cool thing to see at Derby earlier

Welp I’m 20 years old now, that’s kinda cool

Best 20th birthday present ever!

Went for a ride on the inaugural class 730/2 service, a truly excellent train to say the least, highly impressed

I can’t seem to escape England

Sad that I couldn’t enjoy any of the festivities today organised by @225group.org.uk due to saving up for future trips but happy #225Day everyone! Rode these fabulous trains with East Coast and VTEC as a child but my appreciation for them only really started recently and I’ve grown to love them.

Not a day goes by when I don't think about what it would've been like if this single had been released (Alt text for context)

I went to a thing

APRIL FOOLS BITCH I’m here to stay

I am afraid to announce today that I am leaving the TfL Three it’s been a wonderful couple of years working with Daniel and Dylan but there’s been too many creative differences and I feel it’s just time to move on. Enjoy future content from the TfL two and on my new channel Hugh playz games

RIP Eddie Jordan

Gutted, would have made a great video and I was very excited, hey ho, i'll probably ride it some other time maybe when its doing more diagrams

Well thats a first, seminar leader at my uni now knows about my Youtube work, unsure if its what I do on @thetflthree.bsky.social or not, but still thats awesome, thanks Andrew!

I ❤️ the Docklands

Also fair play to Wandsworth borough council for finally deciding to clean up falcon road underpass at Clapham Junction here’s some designs propsed

God I love the view from Willesden Junction high level

Well that’s a sight to behold pretty sure I rode this one with Great northern last year. Oddly it was coupled to a GX liveried one running a stopper?!

Well it turns out I own a piece of history, apparently this thing shut down

First time on the overground since the rebrand, honestly excluding the names themselves which are rather clunky, it’s actually seems to be very effective at making the system easier to navigate for newcomers but also aids in finding disruption

If any of you guys follow me for my YouTube work then I'd highly recommend you follow this new page here! bsky.app/profile/thet...

Happy new year 2025! 🍾🎉

2024 has been quite possibly the most mixed year for me: Positives Got good A Levels Got into an awesome uni Visited some beautiful places in the far east Friend appeared in a paper in the other side of the world Negatives Father had appendicitis Mother diagnosed with cancer

Happy Christmas folks! 🎄

Folkestone Harbour pretty awesome way to preserve a disused station if you ask me!

Big thanks to @rikufryderyk.bsky.social for inviting me to participate in ths sadly my two colleagues were unable to take part due to busy schedules, regardless please do watch! youtu.be/rd8nMoQ5Tm0?...

Bluesky exclusive: when station ticking goes wrong! (I wasn’t filming for YouTube)

First and last time on an Avanti 221

Lingfield, never thought I’d ever return (spent time here as a kid as I had a nanny who lived here)
