The rain is still thundering down and now the wind has picked up to join in the fun.
I hope whatever you’re up to this evening you manage to keep in the dry ☔️

Thanks to the random way shifts work today is my Friday 🥳 For some of my colleagues it’s also their Monday 😩 And for a few others yesterday was Saturday. But for me Saturday is Sunday this week… that make sense? 😇

When you listen to the lyrics in Lose Yourself it sounds like Eminem is rapping about a train driver during leaf fall..
🎵 His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy…
He's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready 🎵

In just a few minutes it will be the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. I hope we never forget for who we fall silent on this day each year ❤️ #Remembrance

This is photo 181! That means there’s only 19 left to go! Have a good evening, ideally somewhere warm with something delicious 😊

Remembrance Sunday is one of my favourite days of the year. To watch even the busiest of places fall silent as strangers come together to remember those who gave their lives for us I find incredibly moving.
Photo 180 is dedicated to all of you that take time to remember ❤️

Photo 173 is dedicated to my colleagues who were involved in last night’s terrible incident.
I know they will have stepped up with courage, professionalism and dedication to protect everyone on board even though they must have been terrified.
Sending them all my wishes ❤️

Back in ye olden days people used to get hot water bottles filled up in station canteens to take with them on a train journey.
I vote we bring this back! It would be marvellous! 😊

The early signs weren’t looking good for today. Cold, rainy and with signal failure thrown in.
Then I arrived in London and got given a free sausage roll so maybe today has been a good one after all 🙂

One good thing about these longer nights is the darkness really makes parts of the railway look deliciously atmospheric 🤔

Do you remember the other day I mentioned I’d infiltrated the cab of a steam engine?
Well it was because I’d heard you could warm sausage rolls on the fire so I went to investigate 🕵️
