Thought it was time for a #NewProfilePic , taken in the 309.

It's Finally home and settled after two long years fighting to keep it in one piece and negotiating a new home.

@chlortisokay NNR? Or somewhere else?

[WrightRail @WrightRail]

@exit_everything Indeed! I visited once for a reference trip and loved it. Till very recently it still had Anglia Railways era signs.

@exit_everything I'm always happy to hang out if you want some company 😅

@exit_everything When I was training as a conductor I had a veteran. He was travelling on a very out-of-date railcard, I guess all of the other times he had just been given a free pass and expected the same this time. He ended up getting very aggressive towards my trainer with a lot of ASB.

@exit_everything Id be up for it!

[WrightRail @WrightRail]

@exit_everything The push to remove safety critical roles is the worst, purely because they don't want to spend more money. DOO has proven to be more dangerous than DGO especially for a passenger, but the only thing the pencil pushes up top see is a spreadsheet and a way to cut a cost.

@exit_everything 👋

@exit_everything Damn Haughley... The repeated pushback on upgrading that Junction has become such a thorn in the network. I once got caught in nearly 4 hours of disruption when a freight failed in that section!

@exit_everything Never got the chance to do Blackpool, unless you count the ones they have at the museum

[WrightRail @WrightRail]

@exit_everything Newmarket? My uncle lives there and yes I agree how depressing it is. I rarely go in and hated some of the clientele that frequented that station when I worked trains on that line.

@exit_everything Selling the air development rights in London was one of BRs biggest crimes...

And NR are now unfortunately doing it again with Liverpool Street

Here we go! After a few years trying to get my foot in the door, I'm on my first day of my new job, taking part in the next GA trainee conductor intake. I'm happy to finally be joining the railway family!

Here's to hopefully a long career and working with many amazing people.

@bessbbe @SwanRailway I got mine @bessbbe :D

[Mark @MarkMiddleton37]

Well, I’ve always said my conductor colleagues earn every penny of their money…and tonight proves it. Absolute shitshow on the Cambridge. A fight, possible assault, and paramedics needed. Speaking to another driver he said his train was crap, too. Something in the air…

[WrightRail @WrightRail]

@MarkMiddleton37 Thank you! Based out of Ipswich depot.

[WrightRail @WrightRail]

Well finally, after years of applications I can say that I'm joining the #railwayfamily . I've secured a role at Greater Anglia as a Trainee Conductor, Starting in 6 weeks time! Thanks to all those that have supported me getting to this stage.

@JakeBonner5972 Cheers Jake 👍

[WrightRail @WrightRail]
