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. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
I would have loved to do OOC open day all those HSTs lined up was a sight to behold!
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 😒
My God it looks phenomenal 😍

I can finally live my dream of dispatching 350s at Wolverhampton πŸ‘€πŸ˜πŸ€£
