DRS 66421 "Gresty Bridge TMD" sat in Wentloog Freightliner Terminal, waiting for its next job. While I prep my loco (66533 "Hanjin/Senator Express") for departure with a service to Southampton Maritime

Bridge 153 is used by (predominantly) Freightliner staff to get safely from Lawley Street terminal, under the 4 track mainline and to/from the reliving points at Landor Street Junction. The photo is taken from the side of the former Saltley depot, looking to Lawley Street Terminal.

It's been a hot minute since I last took a #Team70 photo! Colas Railfreight 70806 sat in East Yard on the fuel point road on 06/08/26

Ended up covering part of a night shunt turn last night. First time shunting for a while, although I can't say I missed it 😂 66541 pushes a train back under the cranes, 66613 & 66503 occupy loco siding 2 and 66533 sits under the bridge on the outside pit.

66531 arriving at Landor Street Junction earlier today, where I took over for the journey down to Eastleigh for crew change. The new HS2 flyover now dominating the skyline. The view is completely different from when I started only 5yrs ago.

All the Yutongs you ever want 🤔 (and you're welcome to them 😂) give me a conventional bus any and every day 👌🏻 The second post attached to this one shows their parking arrangement (as of 25/07/26)

Heavy Haul Rail 59201, now debranded of Freightliner name and logos, waiting in the yard at Eastleigh in the early hours of this morning.

Today I finally got to ride an ALX400 again, this being 18512! Amazing sounding beast. @anthonyf2024.bsky.social @teamgreen70020.bsky.social

Now for the XC service back south to finish. Just have to wait for 730023 clear out of the platform.

66504 waiting in Fenny Compton down goods loop with a service from Southampton to Leeds, with me as far as Birmingham.

Yesterday's adventure across the south, saw me drive several vehicles. 10564 Farnborough to Basingstoke 10569 Farnborough to Guildford 10766 Farnborough to Aldershot 19346 Farnborough to Aldershot 10628 Aldershot to Farnborough 11666 Farnborough to Aldershot 10628 Farnborough to Chichester

No luck getting to drive an ALX Trident today 😢 however todays adventure meant I ended up seeing 4 of them. 18503 at Basingstoke depot 18504 at Guildford depot 18510 at Aldershot depot & 18510 tucked away in Chichester depot @anthonyf2024.bsky.social challenge complete 😉 @alitrains114.bsky.social

Just found this post on FB and it got me wondering about 2 things. 1/ why? 2/ who wore it better? The Capri, or 35164? 😂😂

Managed to see ALX400 18512 on the 64 today. Lovely bus! @anthonyf2024.bsky.social @teamgreen70020.bsky.social

I had the opportunity to finally ride with 18510! So I took it of course! @alitrains114.bsky.social @teamgreen70020.bsky.social

Early arrival into Basingstoke only to find my relief is lost somewhere in a taxi 🤦🏻😂 Heavy Haul Rail 66590 on loan to Freightliner, with a service from Southampton to Leeds where it will come off hire and return to HHR.

More from my trip to Exeter depot a couple weekends ago, on the 5th July. They have a large fleet of aging Optare Solos, I personally prefer the look of these over the SR bodied ones. Opinions? @anthonyf2024.bsky.social @alitrains114.bsky.social

Cross Country 220006 leads 220005 into Reading with the first southbound service from Birmingham New Street to Bournemouth. And then seen at Winchester while changing for a service to Eastleigh.

66618 "Railways Illustrated" arriving into Reading this morning.

Sunrise at Newport (South Wales) just before the first of three trains arrive to get me back to Eastleigh.

57604 "Pendennis Castle" at the head of tonight's Riveara Sleeper service. Seen in Platform 7 at Reading. I'm awaiting my train to Wentloog to arrive.

Taken outside Newport (South Wales) station yesterday morning while I waited for my train back to Eastleigh. Newport Bus 436 (former abellio London 9842). Newport Bus seems to have a small fleet of Tridents, both ALX400 & President bodied, 51 plate through 52 plates still in revenue service.

66572 & 66501 "Spirit of '65" at Wentloog this morning. 572 having just arrived with me from Southampton and 501 came in from Gateway a little earlier.

Having recently driven 10772, I finally had a reason to get this model 😁 modelled on 10770 in Stagecoach Gold and branded for Aldershot route 1.

Just a small selection of the many photos taken at Exeter depot yesterday. Both 18384 & 19002 being new to Manchester and made a nice pair to see side by side. Former Coastliner & Portsmouth based Scania 15604, which I used to drive way back when & Dennis Dart training bus 34689.

Ended up in Basingstoke today due to an incident on the railway and as luck would have it I managed to get a better photo of 18387. @alitrains114.bsky.social @anthonyf2024.bsky.social

After arriving into Maritime from Nuneaton, all I had to do was work one to Eastleigh and finish. Well I got to Eastleigh just fine... early in fact! However, the powers that be decided I needed to take the train to Winchester due to disruptions causing delays to my relief.

66523 at Banbury with a service for Southampton Maritime, waiting for a late running Cross Country to pass.

A photo from yesterday. 66540 "Ruby" waits to depart with 4E65, 66505 atill sporting the older name tags was ahead of my train as far as Eastleigh and in the distance is 66511 waiting to work 4S59

Some photos of yesterday's trip from Wentloog to Southampton. DRS 68008 'Avenger' next to my loco 66517 inside Wentloog terminal. 66517 then seen at Lawrence Hill and Bradford On Avon stations Also, I wasn't expecting to drive through torrential rain and a thunderstorm in the Bristol/Bath area ⛈️⛈️
