Even though since 2023 I’ve taken literally thousands of photographs of rail services I still rate this one as one of my favourites.

Just popped out to a local charity shop to drop off a car load of donations & saw this at the side of the A511 between Ashby De La Zouch & Coalville
They’re not wrong
On the other side it says that he talks a lot of what goes down the toilet 💩
Again they’re not wrong 🤣

Passing Lounge junction Ashby De La Zouch
Just in front of the loco in the distance the line to Lounge opencast used to head to the left
All gone now.

It’s bad enough knowing that we’re more than likely going to get our trousers pulled down today in the budget
Then we have to look at the long horse faced wonder too in the news
Apparently she has hidden talents
My arse!

Can honestly say that front coach would’ve been like that all the way to Sheffield with the Peak
The Hoover fans were a lively bunch
The Peak fans took it to another level 😂

Reported to be 222001 & 222002 next to go late November & early December
Shame as my next journey up to Sheffield won’t be anywhere near as exciting with the new junk.
Used to like the Meridians
Done the Peaks, Hst’s & Meridians to South Yorkshire & enjoyed them all.

If I remember correctly Scotland were still heavy on facial masks.
Didn’t have to wear it on the train but they announced it over the tannoy as we approached that they had to be worn at Glasgow C
Nice bunch of railway staff at Central
Waverley over the other side could learn a thing or two
