Thrilled to have joined Talgo and also loves to photograph and explore the world. J70JDV Images on line. Views are my own.

@Captain_Deltic @gceccles @RAIL @AlexHynes CEWG always at the top of my leader board. But there is always TS as someone knows competently the road, the leaps and the stage to perform too towards the Upper Circle

On the day that ⁦@RailFreight⁩ has transformed again into 2 companies (and I’ve broken my X / Twitter ban) I reckon this is the longest hauled train in the UK right now that I’ve photographed at Chorlton approaching Crewe with 125 SLU ⁦@networkrail⁩ 66562 / 66564

@_doublearrow @cranium84 I’m sorry to say but you are wrong. I was the Depot Manager at Willesden in BR days and 90003 gained white ringed buffers. It was always a sign of pride in the fleet. And I’ve encouraged it everywhere I went including Neville Hill, including all my 08’s.

Goodness me what an evening fire sky over the @BridgewaterWay tonight @BBCNWT

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

@NeilBennett29 @railnigel And that’s why a follow on order for another 4 Dellner fitted Class 57’s was authorised to have a fleet of 16 to support the WC. I know, I was there part of the team to make this happen & had the privilege of naming 57316 FAB 1 with the boss of Brush. We’ve all got lazy though 😤

I’ve always said when the West Coast works it really does work. Incredible driving skills by the @AvantiWestCoast driver of the 1730 Euston - Glasgow service who really knows how to get the best performance out of a Class 390

@tms1967 @bluebellrailway @YouTube That’s wonderful Trevor!!! Brings back so many memories

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

@StockportTrains @GBRailfreight @PathfinderTours @FiftyFund Thank you!

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

Simply magnificent. I was able to capture The Grampian Highlander powering through Warrington Bank Quay Aberdeen bound today. @GBRailfreight @PathfinderTours @FiftyFund

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

@nedchester @GBRailfreight @PathfinderTours @FiftyFund Lovely!

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

@WayDunwoodyTMD @GBRailfreight @PathfinderTours @FiftyFund Thank you!

And here is my contribution to #WorldPhotoDay Fly me to the moon!

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

@railnigel Thank you Nigel! It played havoc with the camera settings.

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

Be careful out there with tonight’s Full Blood Moon!

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

End of the line. All change please @merseyrail

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

@NeilBennett29 Absolutely true @NeilBennett29 I’ve just been looking at one of my log book entries. Simply the best apprenticeship in the land and will never be beaten. I was ‘satisfactory’ always with my submissions!

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

@Peter_Mugridge @DevonJ58 @SRichardBowker @railnigel Totally agree, & more concerning for me is the lack of access to DEP’s, lineside emergency phones & other egress areas. The foliage damaging under frame & bodysides of vehicles is relentless. Worst still is the water flows following roots of all these in bridge structures. Scary!

Saturday afternoon sun outside @ScotRail Stirling station.

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

@LNER That’s very kind of you to say, and yes, we will!

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

Over 2 days we’ve travelled with @LNER and @TPExpressTrains on a return weekend journey and everything was just spot on. Trains on time, all spotless, exemplary customer service, both on board and at stations, revenue protection, working air con and WiFi. Only way to travel! 👏🏻

[Jon Veitch @J70JDV]

@WayDunwoodyTMD @LNER @TPExpressTrains Fantastic. It’s a top locomotive!
