Was an interesting terminal for sure. Seeing 313s serving it was surreal.

Same the only PEP subclass I never rode 😢

And it's mad how many chase new stuff over old stuff. 😵‍💫

Random Thought Bluesky. What are your Railway Regrets? 😩

A few of mine are missing out on riding the 442s, The Class 314s & riding behind the Prototype HST. My biggest one would be not scanning all my Polaroids from the late 90s/ Early 2000s. Oh the memories lost 😢
