153572, arriving from the 10:48 Swansea - Shrewsbury via Llandrindrod service, Part of the Heart of Wales "Active Transport (AT)" fleet. It is coupled to another Unit, which is a standard 153/9 bearing TfW Red and White, this unit with the special Heart of Wales livery, one of several to carry it.
Transport for Wales in new territory 🤔 150208 & 279 pass through Lawrence Hill while working 3R03 from Bristol High Level Sidings to Cardiff West We've had a few 150s shuttle between Cardiff and Bristol this week, driver training maybe? 📸 - 14/10/2026 🤍
Going back to almost 4 years ago for this one Sight never to be repeated again, 43188, one of the Welshman powercars, makes up the rear of 2U28 from Taunton to Cardiff Central, while 158765 makes up a Bristol Parkway to Bristol Temple Meads service, I presume 2H55 08/12/2022 💚
Double scud! Gotta love a shitbox The pairing of 153329 & 352 leave Cardiff Central on 2I13 to Ebbw Vale Town, it will never not be funny seeing these on South Wales diagrams (until you're on one) Wasn't even the most bizzare consist that day! 📸 - 11/10/2026 🤍
Oh nice someone replying to me with a hanging gif on my twitter post, love it Into the hidden replies it goes!
Gives the OHLE here more use besides the usual 80X! The pair of 387154 + 165 pass over the footbridge just before Patchway, working 1L23 from Cardiff Central down to London Paddington Definitely a choice to have these going to Wales lol 📸 - 03/10/2026 💚
We hit 1940!!!! These towns don't stop growing although my capital is slowing, so, we need to fix that with supplying it with its expanded needs

Alumina@bluejaylumi.bsky.social · 3w agoWe are now in 1905 and things are growing :3 I should start establishing more supply chains, Chesham needs a lot!
It's that time of the year! I've either missed it, or it ran late, or it didn't run but I finally snapped my RHTT circuit 66544 & 66549 TnT as they work 3S60 from Hereford to Swindon, making sure our tracks aren't too slippery! 📸 - 02/10/2026 💚
As you can tell, new month, new pfp! Mostly because it's Sharktober and as the proud owner of *two* shark characters, I had to rock a pfp of one of them. Both Harley and Vivi are designed by @rosepuppies.art, with art from @oggythefox.bsky.social and itai.saka on Instagram ❤️
