Nearly part-time motorman, known to fiddle with slamdoor trains. Makes reasonable tea. If you need to be told that my views are my own then….

Home-made chilli and some dreadful fries for PNB snap.
You know what? It’s just what I needed.
Today has sucked so far.

At the request of @DriverPotter - who was doing his Strawberry Hill Carriage & Wagon fitter thing yesterday - I made a thing for @Gordon_3417.
I think it looks rather good.
What do you think?

Telegraph journalists must go. They’re just too dangerous to have aboard!
Makes a change from them having a go at us train drivers, I suppose; but I bet this headline wasn’t on the airline pilots’ bingo card today…
Train Drivers 🤝 Airline Pilots.
Welcome to our world!
The Torygraph is now going after the aircrew!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yesterday’s delightful lesson in using a rotary floor cleaner has achieved, amongst other things, the following:
a) made me ache hugely & therefore walk like a 85-year old and,
b) reinforce my belief that the hardest working railway staff are the cleaners.

What’s the point of anything if it doesn’t bring someone, somewhere, joy?
I reckon (fuck - I hope) #KeithFlint would have approved.

Cures for Melancholy: an Occasional Series.
Number One: watching a plump motorman being dragged about the shed by a rotary floor cleaner.
Do you know how to swear loudly and to no effect? @DriverPotter does; ask @LynnTheTrim.

I'm a bit bored, so I've spent the last 5 minutes trying to recreate the intro to Blue Monday on the hob. It's harder than you'd think.

Waverley captured sounding her whistle today (Saturday 26th Sept) as she passed under Tower Bridge on the start of her cruise down the Thames to Tilbury, Southend and the River Medway.
Waverley sails on the Thames until Sunday 11th October - book your tickets online at waverleyexcursions.co.uk/boo…

Today is the first anniversary of the replica 1825 train on the first day of the Stockton and Darlington Railway 200 celebrations. However, a week earlier we ran a test run for 3 miles up the 1in220 incline from Bishop Auckland to Shildon, including through Shildon Tunnel.

Anyone fancy being in the Big Seat of 3417 while it goes over ‘The Alps’?
Wish granted!
