By popular demand, Bob is now here on Twitter! Have you seen his lovely Christmas Video yet? @mummybycycle made him something very, very special… https://t.co/VQ3y7G8r5A

@DaneTank656 And Dawlish had a lovely listed signal box which Network Rail never should have got away with neglecting and demolishing.

@AndyRoden1 @JoeBrownLondon Not to mention the rapid routes into the tube ticket hall. None of your ‘walk half the length of the station in the wrong direction before there’s an escalator going your way’ nonsense.

@Bluefox63 @philatrail Best seats on the railway, since the Mk1, they were! The seat for the poor MM’s bar steward was less comfortable, but did have a useful shelf to stand your book on. 🤣

Big moment for me: after 38 years, my final day at the BBC. I've spent more than half my life as transport correspondent, and it has rarely felt like working. Travelled the world, won the prizes, worked with the best in the business, met amazing people. But now I'm off.

@DanielSedd8283 @philatrail The better you are at looking for stuff, the more you may find.

@philatrail @AlwaysRails @ATyldsley Advance public fares can be cheaper than a Priv. Especially first class. That precipitated a change to allow Off-Peak walk-up fares to be bought at PRV rate.

@DownOnTheStour It looks much more slab-fronted that way. Almost like a TfW 185.

@Clinnick1 @railandroad Does it have a nearby Travel Tavern?

[Bob Loves Trains @BobLovesTrains]

@paulbyrail @GarethDennis Disneyland is now further away than it was, that’s for sure!

Peter Sam lives!!

Roll up, roll up! Last chance!

@RailwayMuseum @GarethDennis Please can you consider how the museum responds to the prevalence of neurodiversity amongst railway enthusiasts in everything it does. This includes how you make and communicate changes to the fabric and operating of the museum, arrangements for key assets, etc.

@Clinnick1 @LNER @NetworkRailKGX @NetworkRailEDB The promotional film has big shoes to fill. #WatchFiremanMungoDoingHisStuff

@JoeBrownLondon @philatrail @seb_barrow @Captain_Deltic @CrecyRail For that, I miss the old Ian Allan one, to be honest. That was properly portable.
Owned both throughout my career, mind you!

@philatrail @JoeBrownLondon @seb_barrow @Captain_Deltic @CrecyRail It has to retain that cleanliness and simplicity to justify opening this rather than the Trackmaps Atlas, these days.

Watford Model Railway Exhibition yesterday; @Vintage_Trains ‘Shakespeare Express’ today! Bit of a purple patch for Bob after his trip to the Talyllyn. ‘Henry’ is coming for the ride today, too. 👍🏻

[Bob Loves Trains @BobLovesTrains]

@RAIL It was better once the grate was sorted out, and the eccentrics had some oil going to them 🙄. Much easier to fire that one with an enthusiastic driver!

[Bob Loves Trains @BobLovesTrains]

I have to ask @TalyllynRailway - is there an actual internal directive about waving? Part of the induction course ? 👋🏻 Very impressive how everyone does it!

[Bob Loves Trains @BobLovesTrains]

A tale of two ‘Tattoos’ this weekend. Bob took his little diecast ‘Peter Sam’ to meet both the real ones! A wonderful welcome at @TalyllynRailway and @CorrisRailway - thank you to everyone who made us welcome! Now, watch this space… #BirthdaySoon 😜

Bob is going for a bike ride today, but first we are catching the train over the immense 82 arch Welland Viaduct at Harringworth… @EastMidRailway
