The view at London Waterloo has changed so much over the years. My first visit was years before the International platforms were built, and the London Eye was a figment of the imagination. The view on the platforms has changed accordingly, gone are locos and vehicles of old. #SWR

Today's 3J78 Nunthorpe-Carlisle Yard Colas Rail RHTT was scheduled to wait 15 mins at Norwood Jn, but running early joined the Tyne Valley Line 17 mins earlier than expected. Fortunately I thought that might happen. 56090 is seen leading the consist under Dunston Road, Dunston.

For 200 years railways have enabled us to visit new places, form new friendships and make great memories. Here’s picture 200 of 200 to celebrate those 200 years 🥳🚂❤️ Thanks for all your likes, reposts and comments guys, it’s been fun 😊

#Koblenz 🇩🇪 Hbf. in November 2005: a #DB Class 181.2 dual voltage loco, able to operate under 15 kV and 25kV AC overhead wires, has just been coupled onto an #InterCity for #Luxembourg 🇱🇺. The line follows the #Mosel valley, making this a very scenic ride.

Following on from my post earlier this week about recurring clickbait crap on newspaper websites, I give you exhibit A, which seems to pop up every week. No-one can know it's "exact" until it's happened. It's forecasting not clairvoyance.

66739 ‘Bluebell Railway’ approaches Manchester Victoria with the empties from Drax. The 1 in 47 incline of Miles Platting bank clearly visible, though no banking engines required anymore! #Class66 #Shed #GBRf #ManchesterVictoria

A Class 652 electric, displaying the #FS 🇮🇹 “logo inclinato”, at #Brennero/#Brenner border station in spring 2001. The diesel shunter visible in the distance has just pushed her from under the “Austrian” 15kV AC catenary to the “Italian” 3kV DC section and the engine driver has raised the pantograph.

Metro Cammell built 156468 stands at Middlesbrough whilst a small crowd gathers! The somewhat disgruntled passengers have just been informed their service to Nunthorpe has been binned! 😬 #Class156 #SuperSprinter #Northern #Middlesbrough

#Zurich🇨🇭Altstetten one day at dawn, in February 2006: this is the short “Chur portion” of a multi-destination #DB 🇩🇪 #UrlaubsExpress night train, shuttling holidaymakers from northern Germany to various Swiss ski resorts. I was the only one getting off at this suburban station early in the morning.

Photo 194 is an unusual angle of this beautiful steam engine preparing to leave the station in much the same way we are all preparing to leave the weekend and begin a new week… smooth huh? 😇

Look who showed up for morning coffee and peanuts 🥜

Sensationalising Aldi Christmas opening, 2nd year in a row. This and 'exact time bad weather will hit', 'experts say do x', 'city restaurant does y' recurring daily in feeds will surely start to kill what's left of local audiences for Reach, Newsquest etc.

A few more views of Grange-over-Sands. The ornamental gardens (and a resident) and two pics from the promenade, of the bay and the latter with the signal box and mountains in the distance.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

Kept an eye on me all night last night while her 'Mum' was away, lying on what are generally Mrs P's pillows!

As the year of Railway 200 events nears its conclusion, if you're looking for something marking one of the big previous railway anniversary celebrations, the BBC's coverage of Rocket 150 at Rainhill is still on iPlayer, including the cavalcade. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

And some people still think of these grifters as 'patriots'.
