Apart from the odd class 158, a tiny amount of freight & of course the preservation scene Devon & Cornwall will be so dull when it comes to the railways.

Looking at the gorgeous scenery is ok as long as you forget about your backside & rear thighs getting numb from the infamous IET seat bar.

Things to do in 2026

Finally visit Hadfield & Guide Bridge

My first cabbed class 50 at New Street.
Became my favourite hoover & luckily saw her quite a lot.

Devastated when she was withdrawn on 27th July 1990.

Heartbroken in June 1992 when she was gone forever courtesy of Booths,Rotherham

Then 50029 Renown took her place

At least she’s still with us❤️

Yep Scotland would do it for me too

Yep very nice steak 🥩
Home made chunky chips
Garden peas
Fried plum tomatoes

Delicious 🤤

Just thought, hope to god that they don’t butcher the class 87 too😳

Yep had that happen to me when I popped up to Glasgow not long back.

Heard that the former IC liveried 90002 is now like that too

Pretty sure someone mentioned white cab roofs too?

They’re the units I need for phots, the Scot Rail 156
Will have to do a few cheapo trips to Carlisle.
Think during a 9 hr session you’ll see around 8.

Not been on Waterloo or any London station for a few years now.
Nothing there I can’t get at Clapham Jnc.
July 2018 was my last visit there & to London itself.

Used to bike the Brampton Valley every couple of weeks on a cross country speed trial.
The tunnels were challenging!

The only time I used to stop properly was when by the preserved railway

Going back early 2000’s

Probably wouldn’t be able to get on a bike now🤣

Hope to sample the 31’s here next year

👏
Brilliant😂

810006 taken out of service at Sheffield apparently then ran empty to Etches park
Replaced by 222004 which started at Derby

Traction issues (wheel slip?)
Issues departing Chesterfield when empty too
Plus toilet issues through the day

Going great 🙄

Did think fiesta eco boost from around 2019 but can see the lights are different & that there’s no AWD badge

Stumped me totally
