.@ScotRail please arrange something nice for the fun and lovely conductor on the Mallaig - Glasgow train she’s an absolute hoot and delight, wished someone a happy birthday over the tannoy and had the whole carriage cheering 😭
@OnlyRightTrack@marstonvalecrp Can always try their hands at the Ex LNWR 230s again. I'm sure GWR will be happy to sell them off. They never even wanted them, but it was either take 230001/003-005 + all unconverted D78s, and the remaining Vivarail staff, or nothing.
Yesterday was certainly an interesting day. Most trains that I tried to get on were delayed or cancelled but I did manage to explore the fabulous @marstonvalecrp line and have a glimpse at what East West Rail will mean for the region! Really wish they got rid of the 150s though
The ‘Flying Scotsman’ is back! This morning, the @chillipipers will help us mark the return of the iconic ‘Flying Scotsman’ name on the express @LNER services 10.00 from Edinburgh Waverley and 10.30 from London King’s Cross. Scheduled with a 4h09min capital-to-capital journey time, these flagship services will continue the tradition of East Coast speed and style!
@IBLRG@TomDearlove1 Hi! I'm looking to travel on this date and hopefully film a video about the Brigg line! How would you recommend getting back from the line to the ECML with the engineering works in place? Thanks!
BUSY, BUSY on the Brigg Line.
📅 Saturday May 16th.
One off 4 round trips, Sheffield Midland to Cleethorpes via Brigg passenger services
Plus, due to engineering work on another line, plenty of freight diversions.

The Cambridge - Birmingham XC service is excruciatingly slow but we are now approaching Birmingham! Can't wait to see what this new line fuss is all about
Tomorrow, with the opening of the Camp Hill stations, there will no doubt be a plethora of "I'm on the first train" vlogs, all similar in nature and not very entertaining. However, @PeterPlisner produces great content on his YT channel, which is head and shoulders above the rest.
We've relaxed the no opening the box until we get home rule for a quick peak at his new purchase. He just keeps repeating 'cor look at that!' to himself 😊 he's been after one of these for around half his life & judging by the look on his face, I'd say it was worth every second!
