TG Trains

This is my Twitter for mostly train and railway related gubbins...

I like transport and networks, especially trains and the infrastructure they run on :)

SRPS Class 37 37403 sits at Carlisle yesterday having just run 1Z44 08:55 Linlithgow to Carlisle.

This was a positioning move but sold to passengers as a smaller one way tour via the ECML and Hexham.
Very pleasant ride on the mk1s and happened to be right behind the loco too.

ScotRail 320417 sits at Carstairs yesterday evening after running the 1C06 17:37 Anderston to Carstairs.

I believe this is the only booked 320/318 diagram to Carstairs and quite an enjoyable run with such a loud unit.

Another archive dip brings out 47344 at Kensington Olympia in February 1998 with a train load of Rover 400s heading to mainland Europe.

Dutch ICNG units are also a common sight in Brussels, bringing a flash of yellow to the scene with trains from the Netherlands.

Seen here are Nederlandse Spoorwegen IGNGs 3312 and 3311 on 6th March 2026.

Various SNCB AM80s seen at Brussel-Midi and Brussel-Noord recently.

A common aging workhorse of Belgium's fleet, they sound a lot like the Class 315 when accelerating.
Featuring the graffiti Belgium is known for.

Various SNCB Class 18 locomotives at the north end of Brussels-Midi/Zuid 04/03/26

Also seen is a rake of M5 coaching stock soon to be withdrawn, currently only used for peak time services.

Impeccable livery choice, very nice to see something that isn’t just BR era.

Not just because it matches my Ilford station sign 😇

@stephen37292ML Me too, I bet that looked good on the Orion

[TG Trains @TrainsTg]

@Rail_Photter Seen it on instagram today being cut up so it definitely doesn’t exist anymore

1M44 1628 Shieldmuir RMT - Warrington RMT .. a few minutes into its journey screaming through Carluke station

[TG Trains @TrainsTg]

Some iPhone quality shots around Crewe station last night

Work had me in the area for the night so would be rude not to go see what I could find.
A car park with a good view of the Crewe avoiders + north side of the station

Need to start taking my camera with me during the week

Some photos of (most) the locos on The Cappagh Capital Campaigner yesterday

Loved the day, even if it was a long one & a bit of an endurance test toward the end lol

Sadly didnt manage any decent pics of the 56s as too tired, enjoyed the sound they made from the coaches though.

[TG Trains @TrainsTg]

@Minion_Josh_ Grid 👍

[TG Trains @TrainsTg]

@Jeagles319 The coaches filling with a light to moderate haze of diesel fumes was a personal favourite characteristic

Class 455s at Waterloo, since I happen to have fallen onto one while up to other things.

One observation for those who might know, why have the platform end gantries been built with OHLE clearance?

Standard design or “you never know” thinking perhaps?

[TG Trains @TrainsTg]

Some classic diesels appeared around the Taunton area today on two differing railtours.

Some photos from today including:
Class 52 D1015
Class 40 D213
Class 50 50007

All sounding and looking very nice.

[TG Trains @TrainsTg]

@Flying_Vixen I love these almost time warp photos, old livery, old light clusters, old wagons and OHLE.
Excellent 👍

50026 has decided it wanted to play in the mud…

Not the climax we expected but certainly memorable nonetheless.
Would appear just wheels off and some bent rails.
