The adventures of a railway worker, all views are my own!

@abitdickensian I have a feeling this was always part of the plan!!!

Listen very closely to the original ending, there’s a slight ‘slam’ effect which is cut out, and also the credits graphics slightly flicker after the Billie Piper credits.

Has anyone else noticed this?

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY

We said goodbye to the Fifteenth Doctor as he shifted reality by one degree to save one life and looked Joy in the face as he regenerated into a familiar face 🔥

The Reality War aired on BBC One and iPlayer one year ago today.

@ChimeWhistle TOCs currently have their own reciprocal travel agreements but it’s a bit of a mess at the moment

[David Clark @davidclark_19]

With the line via Catford and Bromley South closed for engineering work, @Se_Railway are running a special shuttle between London Cannon Street and Bromley North, providing a rare chance to travel over the link at Grove Park. Added bonus of having celebrity unit 465908.

@caloriecassiexx Hickory’s is elite

💥 RARE Bromley North Sunday shuttle to central London!

Usually, Bromley North has no Sunday service. But with today's engineering works, for the first time in years Bromley North has a direct train, on a Sunday, to London Cannon Street!

🚄 465908 on 1Z05 - 0715 to Cannon St

Another trip to the continent 😁 ☀️

@MichaelTrewYork @RMcCarthy86 Still has to share the same rails with all the other electric trains

[Matthew @AlphaDelta327]

@JohnTillUK Followed by an announcement by the train manager repeating mostly the same things and a lecture about advance tickets

[Superalbs @superalbs]

So, Eurostar just launched its own AI chatbot (for some reason), and it's going about as well as you'd expect... 🙃

Thanks for the flight recommendations! 😅

@ChimeWhistle @Prita_o81 @trainfanmatt Yes, that’s what the ‘anti graffiti’ toilets look like on the 700s

Another Saturday, another city ☀️

[Matthew @AlphaDelta327]

I almost got caught out by attempting a journey that wasn’t directly possible today. Good job I clicked onto the schedule!

I understand the reasons why, but surely this causes more confusion, especially when the train arrives with ‘Haslemere’ on the display.. not a fan of this!

[Matthew @AlphaDelta327]

@Steven_OnTrains *yesterday, in need of a coffee!!

[Matthew @AlphaDelta327]

@SteveWhiteRail Hard work went into planning the timetable for this one! Huge improvement compared to previous weekends. 98% PPM so far today, I’m chuffed!!

[Matthew @AlphaDelta327]

@davwheat_ @MonsieurPiddly Sounds more like an NR issue with associations?

🚨CLASS 466 NETWORKER PRESERVED🚨

Hello railway world!!

If anyone is able to check if there are any significant engineering works that would affect the ECML between Kings Cross and Edinburgh on weekends Sat 15th/Sun 16th and Sat 22nd/Sun 23rd August, that would be appreciated thank you.. Feel free to DM.

@EthanAfro @mark395625 @John_The_Fitter 4 platforms at St Pancras MML. HT only run a couple of trains each way, and they are able to platform share with EMR
