A few shots from yesterday’s @svrofficialsite ‘TractorFest’ celebrating 65 years of the Class 37. It was rather damp but a great day and managed to bash all 8 locos which were operating.

York Tap. Last orders pre KFC cos I'm soberer than I was in Oxon. Owlie McBurnie says hi. Floor 8/10 despite no carpet. Toilets less bad than usual. First spooky beer of the season. A fine station pub.

@philatrail Note the linkage of a revived scheme to decarbonisation, the least important benefit from electrification. A reminder that the industry jumping on the decarbonisation bandwagon was a massive mistake . Also no drive from Network Rail to finish MML - just lots of talk fests

Pub 3184, Pelican Inn, Gloucester. Back street Wye Valley gem. Cathedral bells n local accents n hairstyles help. I could live here. In the pub, not Gloucester. Deuce drinks juicy. Early finish if my bus manoeuvre works!
