@ByLakeland Keep safe Dave. Glad I could help in a little way.

@alexhornbyrail @northernassist Well done for stopping all trains at Stocksfield today for the Northumberland Show. Great to see plenty of people using rail to get there, including me from Carlisle! 👍

@LouieKerr8 @plyons45 With tunnel to match!

@ukrailadventure Enjoy the journey! Passed you on Euston Road earlier and recognised Austin immediately. I was heading from Euston to St. Pancras.

@alexhornbyrail @TVLRUG @TVCRP @greensignallers Good news, thank you

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

@alexhornbyrail Bardon Mill today. A very poor sign. How many customers understand what TVM means? I do, but most wouldn't. And there isn't one in the shelter anyway! @TVLRUG @TVCRP @greensignallers

So graceful

Mute Swan final approach and touchdown on the main runway at Richmond Park, Glasgow.

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

@ByLakeland Oh no! Sorry to read that Dave. Look after yourself.

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

Just perfect for Easter

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

A breath of fresh air. Putting the customer first. 👏 A little more of this sensible behaviour would do much for passenger confidence in a united rail network they can rely on.

@TPEassist It was coach D Charlotte. And there were multiple seats in similar condition.

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

@TPEassist any chance of some new seat covers for 397007 please? 🙄

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

Awful accident but thankfully the rider is OK.

@alexhornbyrail @RailService Chamby is pretty good (also in Switzerland)

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

@AndyRoden1 Thank you Andy from his nephew. 😥

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

Delighted we're so popular!

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

@northernassist the access gate to platform 2 at Wetheral has lost a hinge and is hanging off. Could someone attend to repair it please? Could do with a repaint too!

[Sam Dixon @MrSamDixon]

This is always a great day. 👍
