@tridentthebear Was me behind the wheel of 10950!
Unfortunately only made it to Durrington before it decided it was done for the day 😅

They're not a myth! They exist!
Overall they're nice units. One problem I have with them is the seats are a bit close to eachother. I can imagine that'll be cosy in rush hour...

Back to work tomorrow after a long weekend so taken the MG out for a weekly run to keep it in working order 😁

First time driving in snow!
Quite a fun experience 😂

Been a while since I've been on Northern and so a nice pair of 158s take me to Sheffield!

[HSTBEN1 🇬🇧 @HSTBEN1]

Trams are awesome....that is all.

[HSTBEN1 🇬🇧 @HSTBEN1]

After a day of 170s it's nice to pick up a 158 to finish off the day 😁

[HSTBEN1 🇬🇧 @HSTBEN1]

Escaped Skegness and now at Sleaford! Time to head to Doncaster I think!

[HSTBEN1 🇬🇧 @HSTBEN1]

Skegness is now a ✅ now it's time to leave as quickly as possible

The 9 I have to admit is probably my least favourite route but I do love driving through Arundel. Such a lovely town 😁

[HSTBEN1 🇬🇧 @HSTBEN1]

Not really sure what to think about these new tickets....

[HSTBEN1 🇬🇧 @HSTBEN1]

@lindaschaos If you get it wet you've had it...

The one thing I love about this job is the first part of my shift I can be driving through small villages and the second part I can be in the hustle and bustle of the city 😁

[HSTBEN1 🇬🇧 @HSTBEN1]

Pleasant afternoon for a drive in the country! 😁
