@cliffordbeeton @Clinnick1 @UKRL4 It does doesn't it! Lose the stripes and it's almost 66791 though 😂

@Clinnick1 @UKRL4 Get rid of the yellow end and it looks very similar to Rail Adventure livery.

66537 is the first Heavy Haul Rail loco repainted in the new operator’s new livery. The 66 gained its new look at @UKRL4’s Loughborough. 📷 HHR

@AssonRichard @reddragondarts Cheers Richard.

Heartbreaking.

@Bennybizzle1 @Andym13 @holtona72 @MrDeltic15 @thesatnav89 @WilsonBone @LeicRailAle170 @kingy69beard Nice montage to what will be a much missed railway relic of this route. I sincerely hope the remaining pegs continue to soldier on for many years yet.

#SemaphoreSunday celebrating signal K14 which is sadly no more. It has served Ketton for over 100 years! Well, bits of it has.... It was replaced this week with a colour light signal and AWS ramp. Reportedly the signal will be preserved at The Midland Railway centre.

@AssonRichard @DCRailOfficial Thanks mate.

@ben1987 @DCRailOfficial Another outstanding picture

On hire to DC Rail from GB Railfreight, 60095 'Whernside' creeps around the sharp curve on the approach to Whittlesey on 5th March 2026 with the 6L82 05:00 Peak Forest to Eccles Road Sidings (Johnston Logistics).

@trainfanmatt @Bennybizzle1 @Andym13 @holtona72 @MrDeltic15 @thesatnav89 @WilsonBone @LeicRailAle170 @kingy69beard With all due respect to 50008, I hope 31128 replaces it for many months to come. Far prefer to see a goyle out and about than a loco that's featured in way too many tours and galas as it is.

@Bennybizzle1 @Andym13 @holtona72 @MrDeltic15 @thesatnav89 @WilsonBone @LeicRailAle170 @kingy69beard Bloody hell, is it still dragging that wreck around? 😉🙈😁

#ThursdayThirtyOne 31128 "Charybdis" departs Leicester with 50008 in tow, was hoping for a full thrash moment through platform 2 but instead was given a sedate amble through 1. Never mind, still looks great!

@miles_chains Nice one David. 69004 in new money!

Railfreight Coal sector liveried 56069 eases its fully loaded merry go round out of Gascoigne Wood. Working round the clock to feed the voracious appetite of Ferrybridge, Drax, and Eggborough power stations! #Class56 #Grid #BritishRail #RailfrieghtCoal

@miles_chains @C37LG @ColasRailUK Good to hear. Yes, very well thank you 🙂

@ben1987 @C37LG @ColasRailUK You’re more than welcome Ben. All good here thanks, hope all is well with you.

On hire to Colas from Swietelsky, 37424 stands at Melton Mowbray awaiting the road westbound whilst working the 3Q04 Derby RTC to Derby RTC UTU3 test train on 4th February 2026. The set reversed here before running via Leicester, Nuneaton, Castle Bromwich and Burton-upon-Trent.

@TheConnorCain @_WokeNonsenseFC This was trialled way back in 2007 but nothing ever came of it, and that's despite having taken place on Summer Saturdays when you'd think demand would be huge. It was even dubbed 'The Butlins Express'.

@_WokeNonsenseFC Would it kill them to connect a train from Taunton to Minehead?

As a local I can tell you the main problem is that it’s in the middle of nowhere As soon as you get off the M5 it’s still nearly an hour to Minehead

@HiPa125 Very creative!

GEC #Class91 Electra 91109 ‘Sir Bobby Robson’ stands ready to power LNER 1D07 0903 London Kings Cross > Leeds #InterCity225

@miles_chains @C37LG @ColasRailUK Thank you, David. Hope you're well.

@ben1987 @C37LG @ColasRailUK Cracking photograph Ben. 👍

@AssonRichard @C37LG @ColasRailUK Thanks Richard.

@ben1987 @C37LG @ColasRailUK Great photo

@Bennybizzle1 @BrianNe08342467 @N_V_R @Andym13 @holtona72 @MrDeltic15 @thesatnav89 @WilsonBone @LeicRailAle170 @kingy69beard Plenty to admire in this view Ben! Nicely done.

#SignalBoxSunday. Orton Mere signal box at the @N_V_R. Risen like a phoenix after an arson attack and couple of years ago. Also, 43048 in Midlands mainline livery departs the station during the early year diesel gala.

@Unthusiasm @WilliamWho27 Most 'casual fans' I speak to just want The Doctor to be male, don't think skin colour really has any relevance. Ncuti is an incredible actor but was let down by poor writing. His defining moments in the show, few and far between they may be, prove this.

@WilliamWho27 There's truth to this, but also the point that the show hasn't had a hit Doctor that makes massive audiences feel like this since probably Matt Smith. This is basically why the Doctor has to be a 35-40 year old white straight man. It has to be the most neutral casting possible

I was talking to someone at work about Doctor Who & they said they only came back with 60th for David Tennant & only watch when Tennant is involved. I think this is something we might underlook that perhaps the reason RTD2 wasn't a success is people only came back for Tennant.

@WilliamWho27 I definitely feel that Tennant should have stayed for Series 14 (or 'one') and helped usher in the new era, then Ncuti could have started a year later when his availability was better suited. The Fourteenth Doctor's arc could have easily spanned a full series.

@themblades1889 @DCRailOfficial @GBRailfreight It definitely seems very reliable in terms of the GB Railfreight examples. Good to meet you at Sheffield last night 👍🏻

@ben1987 @DCRailOfficial @GBRailfreight Suits you sir 😎 must be only GBFR 60 not to fail

60095 'Whernside' is captured here passing the railhead at Mountsorrel on 2nd March 2026, on hire to DC Rail from GB Railfreight and in charge of the 6D59 15:16 Leicester Humberstone Road Sidings to Derby Chaddesden Sidings empty JNA working.
