Mel ✨

I am so chuffed and grateful to have been nominated for Rail Ambassador of the Year at this year’s Rail Staff Awards alongside @bessbbe and many other amazing people from the railway family! 🥹🤩 If you have a spare minute I’d appreciate a vote 💜 railstaffawards.com/RSA25/en/page/…

The old Underground grab handles were so much better

This #IWD we #GiveToGain Share your knowledge, call out stereotypes, challenge discrimination, and celebrate women's success. We all give to gain. But ensure that gain is not for yourself, and always to help shape the right future for the future women in our industry... 💙

Happy International Women’s Day 💜 How many companies do you recognise? Directed and produced by myself and Lindsay Clamp

I will be involved in something relating to GBR soon… If there is anything you could know or ask about the future of the railways, how GBR will work, fares, etc. what would you like to know? Most common questions will be used for that 💭

@telegram1982 Not anymore 😅

@traindrivermum You actually drive c2c trains! Single?

A little reintroduction 🚆

@cheshire1970 Thanks so much 🙂

@traindrivermum Morning Mel u are doing a great job

@marinrodrigo123 Thank you

@traindrivermum Great job!.

@DaveTheRave070 Ah thank you for your kind words and for following 🙂

@traindrivermum Hi. Followed you for a while. What an amazing story. Keep doing what your doing. Amazing. Thank you 😊

@HouseChambers Trainfluencer? 😅

@traindrivermum It's funny, when I was a kid the cliche was everyone wanted to be a train driver (totally get that). Now apparently the preferred career for kids is social media influencer. You've got both down!

@aliwell_north Ah thanks so much 🙂

@traindrivermum Thanks for your blogs and videos, appreciate them!

@paulburton73 Where do you travel from? 🙂

@traindrivermum It's nice to put a face to a driver. One wonders how many times you've driven me to and from London!

@Brian70362077 A nice surprise? 😅

@traindrivermum It's always a joy and I'm still surprised when I talk to a lady driver on the GSMR.

@BrianNe08342467 Thank you Brian. Ah that’s fantastic, and no it never leaves! 😅

@traindrivermum Brilliant video, Mel, and so true! My dad and my grandad got me into trains as a little 'un, and as you probably know, once you've got the railway bug, it never leaves you! I've found it to be a great, informative and educational hobby! 👍🏻

@supersonicade Spent the first 10 years of my career with them 🙂

@traindrivermum Great piece. Lots of LTS line footage, I'm guessing that's your 'local' (residential) line? (Mine too.)

@I_am_Phil_Smith Cheers Phil 🙂

@traindrivermum Great video Mel! Nice one!

The current EMR Intercity fleet 🚆

@DarrenJohnHill Thank you. Happy new year 🙂

@traindrivermum Hope you have safe travels

Happy 2026 ✨ First drive of the year on NYD. Off to Cricklewood and back with 222015. Then later on, a trip to Sheffield with 222004, one of the last remaining 7 cars. Had alot of double Corby’s recently so it was nice to start the year with a day full of meridian driving!

@ryan_da_lion Toasty! 😅

@traindrivermum Hope the cab is warm!

@ClabbyEamonn Happy new year!

@traindrivermum Kudos...best wishes from the Wirral
