Trainspotting GB

Thank you for the 500 followers! Been an amazing weekend attending the greatest gathering for both leisure and volunteering - definitely a weekend to remember! Here is a photo of the full @greatestgather main lineup.

@trainfanmatt @LNER Couldn’t pass up the opportunity as they were lined up so nicely.

@Jayontherails @LNER Very clever shot 👏

Honestly love how this picture turned out! @LNER 801220 and 801202 sit side by side at Edinburgh Waverley while resting after heading up from London King’s Cross as 1S08 and 1S07 respectively.

@midlandsguard @1701aStarship @bessbbe @heather_waugh Thank you!

@Jayontherails @1701aStarship @bessbbe @heather_waugh Congratulations! Welcome to the footplate

Interviews ✅ Psychometric ✅ Medical ✅ Excited to say I’ll be starting my new role as an apprentice train driver at the end of the month 🚂 Just wanted to thank @1701aStarship @bessbbe and @heather_waugh for inspiring me to take this new career path.

@1701aStarship @bessbbe @heather_waugh Yep! Really looking forward to it

@TrainspottingGB @bessbbe @heather_waugh A massive well done Jemma. You have done the hard work to get to this point. Are you on the April course?

@havanaclue1 @225Preservation No, tables line up with the windows and it’s much comfier seating with harsher lighting

@TrainspottingGB @225Preservation Are the passenger carriages the same as the Azuma?

I forgot how striking these look sitting in the sun @225Preservation

Welcome back! 91130 is my ride back up to Newcastle tonight.

@OnlyRightTrack @225Preservation Best drink choice right there

What a sight! Had a fabulous journey on the resurrected Newcastle - London Intercity 225 service. Everyone was absolutely lovely, would recommend.
