After a nice soak in the bath, it’s back on the sofa with George whilst we wait for Sara to finish work 😻 #Catsofbluesky
Sometimes we just to be in the middle of nowhere, no drama, no confusion, just outside relaxing and recharging.
Dee Dye - aka 'Napier Ned' - was a lovely guy and a big supporter of this social media account, providing many pictures to accompany my train song posts. His death at the weekend will leave a colossal gap in the lives of everyone who knew him. RIP Dee - missing you already.
Popped out on my bike earlier. Was well wrapped up but it was still colder than I was expecting on my way back 🚴♂️🥶

🗓️ zondag 8 november 2026 ⏰ 15:35 - 00:05 01:15 Wat een dienst … bergen vertraging, en telkens door personen op plaatsen waar ze niet thuis horen. En dat uitgerekend op mijn ultieme lievelingsdienst 😱 Tijdens mijn eerste rit werden we tegengehouden aan het perron in Anderlecht.

Meanwhile in Helsinki I was caught off-guard. The new tram-pedestrian-cycle bridge over the sea to Laajasalo has been opened to tram traffic last weekend. I read trams are to run there in early 2027!!! Those finns cannot even stick to work schedule when they building shit!
I forgot to post pictures from my adventure on the new Amtrak Cascades Aero cars! Gorgeous exterior and comfy interior. My only complaint was the bathroom door was finicky.
#OnThisDay 176 years ago, Dalston Kingsland station opened as 'Kingsland'. It closed after just 15 years due to all NLR services diverting to Broad Street, but reopened in 1983 for a North Woolwich to Camden Road diesel service. 1984 image: Kevin Lane buff.ly/6fSXLTG
Class 419 DLV 68001 (9001) in the London and South-East (Jaffa cake) livery at Stewart’s Lane depot. Without a shadow of a doubt, one of my all time favourite liveries!#Class419 #DLV #Jaffacake #StewartsLane
No work for me today so will spend the day having cuddles with George and catching up on some tv. Will hopefully get out on my bike too if the fog clears early enough 👍
Good morning Blue Sky. Hope you had a lovely weekend and are ready to face the new week. Hope you have a great Monday 😊
Today's #BRNostalgia shows the most successful of The 1st generation DMUs that could be found all around the UK. A Metro-Cammell Class 101 (still with 1st class) is seen at #Norwich in 1989. paulbigland.zenfolio.com/p651486993/e... #Railways #Photography #nostalgia

#SyphonSunday Another pic in the #Fenland sunshine yesterday morning. The monthly #ColasRail Anglia test train seen approaching Three Horse Shoes No.1 Crossing. #LargeLogo 37424 was leading 1Q86 March Down R.S to Derby RTC with 37425 on the rear. #Colas 7/11/26
With many years of hard work behind it, Generator 47416 sits forlorn at Doncaster Works with sister 47405 for company. Both locos were withdrawn in 1986, and cut up at Crewe Works. #Class47 #BRBlue #DoncasterWorks #BritishRail

No real plans for the day other than a stroll with Sara at some point. Will have an easy spin on Zwift this morning if we don’t do anything else.
🗓️ zaterdag 7 november 2026 ⏰ 16:30 - 00:20 Door werken van Infrabel aan het spoor werd mijn IC-trein Leuven - Charleroi-Central beperkt tot Charleroi-Ouest. En laat ik nu net tijdens die rit te maken krijgen met een technisch defect. Tussen Lodelinsart en Charleroi-Ouest detecteerde …
