I’m a bit of a nobody who lacks self-esteem and has autism. I like trains and i’m studying history at university… I hope to take that somewhere in life. Make of me what you will but I’m pretty boring 🙂
…and just like that summer is over! First day of the second year at the @unisouthampton.bsky.social is upon me! Time for the long commutes to start again with 10564 being the first chariot of the academic year!

Sad times - it’s official - 18504 has fallen 😢 @alitrains114.bsky.social @teamgreen70020.bsky.social
450103 (with 450067 on the rear) forms my next service today - like my EMR run which was diverted via Corby we are also on diversion, this time to Woking via Staines.
Just as I started my day with the class 108 DMU, I draw this gala weekend to a close with her also! She’s superb! Now to watch her depart before starting my journey home!
Leading bunker first Kathryn hauls me for my next service today
One to add to my driven list - 08762, only the second class 08’ive ever driven! So enjoyed that a lot.
Built in 1955, Hudswell Clarke 1884 is up next, also known as S102 ‘Cathryn’! I managed to ride with this beauty last time I was here so nice to see her again!
Next up Peckett’s No 2147, better known as Uskmouth No.1 - she is visiting for this gala from the Dean Forest Railway. A truly superb little locomotive!
Hudswell Clarke 750 ‘Waleswood’ - a beautiful 1906 built loco is next up for haulage today!
I am reunited with No 15 Earl David (aka Barclay 2183) next, last rode with this beauty at the GWSR! Such a beautiful loco!
1942 built Peckett’s number 2000 is up next! I believe this is my first time riding with this gorgeous 0-6-0 saddle tank!
Class 44, D8 ‘Penyghent’ which later became 44008 is next up for haulage! Such a beautiful Peak and looks gorgeous in green!
We kick off today’s heritage line services with this beautiful preserved class 108 DMU!
222018 is my next chariot today! Nowadays it’s quite rare to find EMR Meridian’s working in multiple but this evening we are joined by 222013!
185110 takes me on the first leg of this evening’s positioning move for tomorrow’s adventure!
She’s flying solo for the return - D8069 (20069) rounds off my gala haulage for today!
My penultimate service of the day and it’s a superb double header - she’s been a little poorly but made it out for a run, it’s class 20 D8069 paired with 50015 Valiant!
She was poorly last time I was supposed to ride with her back in May but she’s back and in fine form - the illustrious 58023 is my next loco today!
