It’s a shame that there are no longer class 43 locos running timetabled services in England.
BUT…
They were past their working lives, unsafe and environmentally unfriendly.
However we re lucky to have such an amazing heritage rail network, so this testament to British engineering can be celebrated

Absolutely heartbroken to hear that our local “station cat” Nala has passed away aged just 6. Nala was a well known and loved character around Stevenage. He even turned the Christmas lights on once. He will be so missed

Never ceases to amaze and frustrate me that, despite having to pay for parking, airfares, a bag, and a hire car to get to the destination, flying to Scotland is still less than half the price of train tickets
Can’t wait to be back Up North for a big celebration next year

First weekend after three weeks of Covid and post-viral fatigue. Time to do some things, see family etc…
Or, have a huge sciatica flare up, and spend the weekend in agony…
It’s a total joke. Have a train

I’ve had Covid for a week now. Whilst I’m over the worst the residual fatigue with this “Stratus” variant is tough. Meant to be in Cornwall eating all my favourite things. Instead I’m sulking in Stevenage.
Enjoy a train. Yes I’m so fed up I’m sharing a Pacer. I hate Pacers
