Probably my last turn on this big green steam machine before she is removed from service for her next 10 year overhaul. Shame as she is a real dream to drive and fire. @GWSR

Already for the off @GWSR #rail200

Oops!!!!!. Definitely a please explain incoming!!!!

Out of the two, still rather have the one on the left @GWSR

It may be the final day at the #GreatestGathering , but I would rather be having a driving turn @GWSR

Why is new coaching stock so uncomfortable to travel on these days? Seats with minimal padding, bogies that transmit every bump in the track, excessive bogie noise thats sound like it is about to come apart, is. Bring back the smooth ride of a Mk3.

Usual @AvantiWestCoast sh1te show. 9m55 sat at Stafford as everything including the late running cat is allowed to pass us. Another missed connection at BNS. Don't care about customers, nothing from onboard staff and hvac is on full on cook mode.

Turn 2 for the weekend, loco prepped and pit being cleaned. #acleanpitisahappypit @GWSR

P&O disposed, prepped and cleaned and ready to work train 2 @GWSR.@ClanLine28 #merchantnavy #sistermerchant #clanline #rail200

The start of today's rail journey. Dorridge to Glasgow, via Eastleigh. And no, this isn't a new XC service!!!

8.30 am. Loco prepped, washed and pit cleaned. Not a bad start to the day. Now to wait for the Bobby for the road. @GWSR
