It’s an honour to be driving her namesake today ❤️

Welcome to Sheddington… Here you will find sheds within a shed! You could call it, shedception!
Monday to Thursday I’m back out on the mainline. Monday will just be 4L56 and then the rest of the week both 4M83 and 4L56. Can’t keep me away from Trafford Park! 😆
We love love LOVE heavy haul work!
Thinking about it, in 7 shifts I've done:
Class 4: Intermodal / empty stone
Class 6: scrap / Loaded stone
Served as rear engine driver on a 2800 tonne train on steep gradients
Worked two engineering sites
If there's one thing I love about this job it's the variety!
Too many people to mention. But if you've had any part in my journey over the last 7 years, thank you!
New chapter starts next week.

I'm not fond of a T3.
But, they're actually pretty cool once you're in and watching everyone work away! Plus, you get to drive bits of the railway you'll probably never drive again which is always a bonus.
Except this bit, this bit I actually do need to put pen to paper on 🙈
