@_SalmanAnwar This is not acceptable. We’ve launched an investigation. If anyone has witnessed this, please report to @BTP by texting 61016. The videos of course are helpful.

My F1, GoKart, and Rally set up at home. I have a full motion set up with simulated wind from side air vents to replicate speed on the move. I have the weekend off so time to chill out !

Called out to a crane striking one of our bridges. The bridge has a dispensation allowing trains to pass over one on each line at 5mph and if all ok then subsequent trains at 20mph until I or a bridge examiner arrives. Old damage and fresh scrap marks and a load of oil on road.

Prat of the afternoon in the black car wins the award ! A full emergency brake application at 30mph was required .. the fact that they were turning in towards me didn’t help !!! 20ft away when they pulled out !

The Royal Train that will pass into history later next year. It’s been one of the main transport choices for senior royals dating back to 1842 with the First RT usage by Queen Victoria. I had the privilege of being one of The Royal Train Inspectors accompanying them in Scotland
