Dark autumn evenings are upon us once more - just time to stop for a photo on the way home.

Great to see brand new buses heading to the Lynton & Lynmouth "Rail Link" service.

[Andrea Davis @CllrAndreaDavis]

Today @SSW_Pete took spent time to show me round the brand new buses we will be having next week on the 309/310 route to #Lynton and # Lynmouth.
The buses are great and demonstrate the commitment from #DCC and @StagecoachSW to rural transport.

A very impatient tractor waiting for the @GWRHelp Barnstaple train to pass over the level crossing at Crediton.

@JanineCooperM You were still flat out on the 2102 Paddington to Bristol!

Penzance bound on the @GWRHelp Night Riviera - Tintagel Castle doing the honours tonight

In this sad #Bristol rubble lies the former bookshop of Douglas Cleverdon who, in the mid-1920s, had a shop sign painted by his friend, Eric Gill. This is the recently demolished birthplace of... the font Gill Sans.

9pm at Eggesford with @GWRHelp Tarka Line trains heading in each direction. I love long summer evenings!

@GarethDennis Ex-National Express East Coast. The surviving name boards in this style are justified to the extreme left to facilitate NE's map stripes branding from the era.

A beautiful May Sunday on duty as Blue Anchor signaller at the @WSomRailway - idyllic 😊

@Anneindevon @RichardFoordLD Hi Anne, all our MPs are very welcome at our drop in events 🙂

[Luke Farley @GWRLuke]

It's always a pleasure to work with our local MPs to bring improvements to the railway - in this case a new station being developed for Cullompton.

[Luke Farley @GWRLuke]

@Redkitetravell1 No, I didn't know that was your point. GWR serves Axminster, so, regardless of the frequency, it needs to be on the network map.

[Luke Farley @GWRLuke]

@Redkitetravell1 The Axminster route is served by 19 South Western Railway trains each weekday, every hour.

The GWR service is extra & is run for peak travel & to help our train crew maintain knowledge of the route for when we divert long distance trains during closures of our usual route.

Well weren't we lucky?

@driverbod125 @marty_mcd @kentishwizard The original 815001 and 815002 have the larger 9-car size kitchens and were painted from white to green before reforming from 800001/002 into 800311/312 as 829011/012.

Newbuild 815001/002 with smaller kitchens were then inserted into 800001/002, painted white and vinylled green.

Here's some integrated transport for you... @DavidTShep who does the announcements on @GWRHelp is also guiding me to my destination aboard @reading_buses

[Luke Farley @GWRLuke]

Enjoying a peaceful Saturday operating @MineheadRailway Blue Anchor signal box.

[Luke Farley @GWRLuke]

@TonyP146 I hope so - it's been a long winter!

[Luke Farley @GWRLuke]

Warm summer evenings are on the way 😍🚅🌞

[Luke Farley @GWRLuke]

I'm probably biased, but it doesn't get much better than a trip along this stretch.

[Alex Hynes @AlexHynes]

Dawlish! Having a fabulous journey back to London courtesy of @GWRHelp and @networkrail, ☀️
