Take pictures whenever you can. I will always treasure these. My sole 455 unit at our brief scheduled dwell time (we arrived early too because of the almighty power of the little 4 car) at Hounslow๐ฅน

He's not on Twitter these days but there's an East End modelmaker/designer on Insta called Luis who makes detailed tiny dioramas and this slice of London @TfL Underground, Overground, street and bus is rather ace https://t.co/5cx4wwvoZ0

Another thing to add to my long list of โReasons I Love The Railway.โ It gets me outside in all weathers, at all times of day. Iโd spent so many years inside, missing out on exciting things that were happening outdoors. This A400M was a surprise worth getting out of bed for ๐

I love a possession, but yesterdayโs T3 was extra lovely. I made giant shadows in the early sunrise, saw rainbows that hung in the sky for longer than usual, had a chance to feed the swans from my cab, and all while watching the hard work being put in to the Reading renewal ๐ฅฐ๐ป

So @bessbbe loves a 153 Dog box, now Iโm so old I remember these being introduced ๐ They really are a classic workhorse, just like the Class 37s. Simple machines that can be fixed without the need of laptops. A unit that was used country wide ๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ป

After more than two decades at the controls - and raising more than ยฃ80,000 for charity, we're saying farewell to our beloved train driver, Don Coffey, who has retired after a remarkable 22-year long career ๐ Don donated all his earnings from his hugely popular YouTube channel

@bessbbe Had to hit the shutter with my nose as hands froze waiting for this (didn't check it was a dog before I went).
