A quick intro, as some of you are new followers!
I’m James, I’ve been a guard at SWR for just over 6 months. Mainly working 455’s, of which I adore. With the odd Desiro squeezed in throughout the week!
If you ever see my out and about, please do come and say hello!

A few photos from the last few days at work! Getting all the 455’s in that I can.

The whole run from Waterloo to Exeter was not the plan tonight!
Due to cancellations and a Do Not Travel, we decided to claim a refund and go to Exeter via Waterloo - then once we arrived at WAT all services where reinstated!
At least it’s a comfy diesel 🙂

A nice pair of 455’s for my Epsom round trip this evening, then back to a 450’for my last working.

Same job as yesterday, and one of my favourite runs done! A nice semi fast service up from Woking with this pair.

Got 701057 for the rest of my job today! Had a 455 to start, so no complaints here.

✅ Pula, Croatia 🇭🇷
A Jess Glynne filled outbound flight on Jet2, and a butter landing on a rather turbulent easyJet
A small, but beautiful place, that is still quite industrial with a large ship building facility!

There we have it, finally completed the NAN ‘Not A Number’ express down to Dorking! Forgot how busy this one is, even on a Monday 😬.

With my brain successfully frazzled, I am now trained on 701’s! Nice to get a trip down to Windsor as I don’t sign it. Although my assessment train to Hampton Court was chaos due to signalling issues!

An increasing rarity on metro work now, compared to recent times is a 4 car! Was good fun taking it down to Chessy and back. Makes you think stopping in different places to usual, and good for the trainee driver!
