Order in the Chaos

All aboard for the journey of a lifetime. A simulated journey across the country "visiting" all stations from A to Z. To the trains. (and buses!)

Our 2,000th tweet is in person!

Here you see us blasting through Chippenham at linespeed

And so, the HST which will eventually mark the end of Slam Door stock in service on the UK Network, is the train that marks a pause in our travels after arrival into Leeds this evening

It's been a joy and maybe some time in the future we'll reconvene. Till next time

Having ticked off GRINDLEFORD we changed at Dore & Totley from Northern to TPE and you now find us on the celebrity power car express (AKA 1F70) heading for Leeds

Greetings from GRINDLEFORD

Which is either our 1,000th or 1,001st station depending on whether Barlaston actually counted

Greetings from Sheffield where we have a 4 car 150 formation to take us onwards through the darkness

I can't say either GRIMSBY DOCKS or GRIMSBY TOWN are particularly fulfilling stations... the area has a lot of history, absolutely, and it's fascinating, but it's also Grimsby...

After walking from one to the other we are now on 185122+185151 heading west back to Sheffield

And we've made it to Cleethorpes! Turning around here we've boarded 153316+153363 to take us back to GRIMSBY DOCKS

I said our time at GRETNA GREEN was short... you find us jumping onto 156435 back to Carlisle again

A change at Carlisle has put us onto 156506+156513 to GRETNA GREEN!!

One cannot mention GRETNA GREEN without talking about its reputation for eloping young couples... but none of us are under 18 and we only have a few minutes here anyway

I think it's time for an update...

So last night we were walking from GREENOCK CENTRAL to GREENOCK WEST - a station in a somewhat deep cutting before getting 380015 back to Glasgow Central

GREENWICH is of course served by the DLR as well as the Southeastern service so we had a ride on the robot skytrain to Bank

This unfortunately meant we had to change at Bank for the first time on this journey - we took the Northern line to Euston

And hello from GREENOCK CENTRAL!! This is one of two Greenock stations... as you might imagine we're walking across to the other

Hello from Glasgow Central! You find us on 380015 and heading for GREENOCK CENTRAL

[Order in the Chaos @azOrderInChaos]

And that's GREENHITHE done!! Otherwise known as Greenhithe for Bluewater - with as you might imagine frequent bus connections to the Bluewater shopping centre

We're now on our way back to London Charing Cross

You now find us on Fastrack route B which will take us to GREENHITHE station

[Order in the Chaos @azOrderInChaos]

From there we had a Central line run all the way through Central London to Stratford and a walk through the shopping centre to Stratford International

We've then hopped on HS1 out to Ebbsfleet International where you find us waiting for a bus

From Paddington we headed out to West Ealing and then up to GREENFORD!! This is an interesting station - the branch terminates in a single platform between the two Central line platforms - and the station also boasts an incline lift!
