Two new stations opened yesterday in the West Midlands! Visited Darlaston and Willenhall today

@MattJennings337 Ayyyyy congrats! BSK-SOU quite a nice route tbf. We only sign to SOU so you go further down the mainline 😤

Thats my second assessment completed ✅️ happy to say I've passed 😁 Tomorrow starts a new route as I start to head towards the coast again Basingstoke-Redbridge via Winchester and Southampton

@MattJennings337 How have you found both lines?

Good morning from Basingstoke my final day of route learning before my assessment tomorrow arrived on 2L19 450 054, 080 & 110

@MattJennings337 Good job your assessment down to Pompey wasn’t today 😬

Good morning heading up to Waterloo to begin my next set of route learning as I begin learning two new routes from Woking to Alton and Basingstoke

455s are out again 👀 Quick return trip on 455712 + 455732 to Guildford and back with @DownOnTheStour

@MattJennings337 Congrats! Onto the mega routes now 😁 Did it feel weird working 444s? 😂

Thats my first route assessment done ✔️ I know sign from Guildford to Portsmouth Harbour. Tomorrow begin 2 new routes Woking to Alton & Basingstoke

@MattJennings337 👀

@PlatformEdge1 Thank you next route will be heading into your neck of the woods lol

Thats all the route learning i can do definitely feel ready for my assessment tomorrow 👍 before heading home let's go and do a bus 😅

@VillaVoyager82 Quite nice to be honest

@PlatformEdge1 Any good?

Small journey on the newly refurbished voyager 👀 220033 takes me from Reading to Oxford

@trainfanmatt Alton 🔥🔥

How is some piddly station beating a powerhouse like Stafford? I need to review my followers 🤣

@MattJennings337 probably will at some point 😂

@PlatformEdge1 Might even end up on your train route learning lol

That is me officially done as a Metro Guard means I am off working trains for the next couple of months with my course starting on Monday at Basingstoke only working trains on route assessments until I pass out I'll keep you informed of my progress throughout 🙂

Last day in Scotland today ☹️ Visited stations between Edinburgh and Dundee via Inverkeithing including Springfield which is a difficult station to tick.

Spent the day on the Highland Mainline today! Very nice day with some lovely views and a lot of HSTs 🔥

Wick was also my 2000th station visited 🎉

Lovely few days ticking stations along the Far North Line with @tomyorks Couple more pictures from the last few days ⬇️

@PlatformEdge1 @trainfanmatt I’ll do all except Tile Hill again

Morning from Fort William! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Starting off today’s station ticking with the same dogbox I got last night 😍🔥 If all goes to plan this could be my final day of station ticking!

@All_UK_Stations @trainfanmatt Do it all again
