#OnThisDay 65 years ago the first A60 Stock train - built for the Metropolitan Line electrification to Amersham (hence the 'A') - ran in passenger service. They bowed out in September 2012, having provided 51 years service @ltmuseum https://t.co/tmRdIj3xSL

I have not posted anything for a while on X (I still call it Twitter) as I have been going through a very bad patch as of lately.
Hopefully things should pick up in due course yet its thanks to a friend for helping me get back on track.

@Linda_Regan Saddened to learn of the death of Brian Murphy and my sincere thoughts and condolences to his family at this time.
Met him back in March 2007 at Autographica and will cherish the memories and entertainment he brought us. Rest in peace Brian.

I will be staying clear from Twitter up until the new year - need a rest from the socials.
In the meantime I bid to all those who I follow and who follows me festive wishes to you all, wishing you Merry Christmas, Happy holidays and above all a Happy New Year. Roll on 2025!

They start to pay attention.

@BladeoftheS I say he shouldn't go anywhere - he stays where he is, and take the punishment so deserved...

@RexKram55112378 Good point 👍👍

[Chris @ReavellChris]

So Sunak has given his 'plea' @10DowningStreet, but no British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter present? That's another mark against the Tories.
