The 0651 flyer from Leighton is a double set already if you're ever up early enough!

I really enjoyed having a chance to be part of this event!

It was great to be able to get out of the office and show off the newest train at the event!

God I really wish I'd gotten over the self consciousness of solo days out years ago. Happiness level increased 🥰

If you try this on Android Auto it'll change your navigation to the park instead of playing the music! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Didn't know that was a thing!

Very much so! Surge of arrivals from the US fill up the terminal in the morning then empty straight out onto Europe bound flights, and vice versa in the evening.

I now see why they've got 767s etc for such a small country. Must be the vast majority of Icelandair's business.

I've always known the US - Europe with a change in Iceland flow exists but I totally underestimated how (seemingly) high the number of people who actually do it is!

Long live the King!

So glad I made the pilgrimage to New Jersey for a spin back in 2019! Need to find a new bucket list coaster.

I wouldn't say that's a bad thing! It's the opposite for me at work now - I've spoken to the same drivers day in day out for years now and wouldn't know any of them if we passed on the street. Not a bad thing putting a face to the voice!

It's on its second warranty repair now and third time off the road now, I've only had it 15 months. Had a total engine failure while I was doing 60 on the way home from work, it was terrifying really. It's going once it's back, can't be doing with it

Into the second week of the car being stuck at work waiting for recovery now after my latest episode of car nonsense.

Thought I'd start it up to see if it's magically fixed itself ✨

Probably not the best idea in hindsight, sounded bloody terrible.

It's weird seeing a 423 in anything other than DB red!

Awwww 😻

Must say I thought the same on mobile reception! Thought it was very rattly and bumpy though. Although who knows if that's the unit or infrastructure these days!

James Hepburn @jameshepburn.bsky.social · Feb 7

Managed to leave the charging case for my earbuds on the train today like a muppet, fuming with myself! Hoping for some good karma after the years I've spent reuniting people with their lost items! 🤞

What a beast. God I miss this thing!

James Hepburn @jameshepburn.bsky.social · Feb 4

What do you think of these units? I had one home from work unexpectedly last night and I was really shocked by the ride quality

I know it'll never happen but I do wish they'd sack the surfer theme off now and do a full original theme restoration with proper landscaping.

Although saying that Samurai is back in the correct livery so who knows!

Another one added to the list last night!

This thing makes me feel sick more than the coasters!

Nah you're bang on. I've always hated that "serious as cancer" lyric in Rhythm is a Dancer too 🤨

James Hepburn @jameshepburn.bsky.social · Jan 20

No indeed, it does worry me especially with how high mileage it is (I've done 25,000 miles in 14 months) that it could be structural damage but I'll have to take the garage's word for it that it's fine I suppose!
