Former Train Manager with the flame for the railway very much still alive in my heart but also pursuing new interests.

Well hello everyone. It's been a while.

How would I sum up the last few months?

Well I bumped into Margaret Berger in a lift....

#Eurovision

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@klm2407 Slippery what now? Well that's novel!

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

I refuse to accept anyone has a strong opinion on the name of these things.

I actively had to think what I actually call these. The verdict... Plastic Wallets?

[No Context Brits @NoContextBrits]

Settle a debate for me. What are these called?

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@james_r2912 Kids these days 🙄😂

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@james_rogers03 Why the hell have I not joined this before? This is comedy gold.

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@Conductor_Luke @NathanTBatWaver @fionaaajade With respect, I cannot endorse a supermarket sandwich which I could so easily make at home. Mayo or no mayo 😂

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@TheBenTriesTwit Agreed. I swear by Interrail. Not to mention the first class pass is a nice treat.

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@TheBenTriesTwit Frequently 1hr+ late. I've ended up making the last Eurostar by only 15 minutes on a number of occasions because of DB.

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@TheBenTriesTwit Allow excessive interchange time in Germany. Especially for long distance services.

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@SnrConductorJim @WestMidRailway Congratulations James!

May your conductor career be long and prosperous

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@james_rogers03 Who needs Aurora Borealis when you've got Brixton?

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@bessbbe @Coast_Conductor Happy Belated to the king of the Electrostar!

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@NickBadley I know impostor syndrome isn't easily conquered but if my two bits count for anything, you're more than deserving of success. You've put some new life into the railway community on YouTube and you convey your personality in such a genuine and likeable way. Absolutely own it 😁

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@TheBenTriesTwit @stevecooper1610 Agreed. Don't ask me anything practical like how to cook or clean but this I fill my head with.

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@TheBenTriesTwit That I do not know.

Some further reading has told me they're placed 500m apart and the distance is in kilometres because why not? 😅

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@TheBenTriesTwit They're mile markers for maintenance and presumably emergency services too.

This one is mile 29.7 on the M11 'B carriageway'

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@SimonZev Wishing you a happy belated!

Absolutely adore that blazer. I need to find out who your tailor is 😂

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@DriverPotter Goddamn it, Potter. That's the second time you've made me tear up this weekend.

So lovely to see Gordon getting the love from all generations. Wish I could've been there.

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

@ZainOnSWR It was excellent until I had a slight massive SPAD.

[Joe @BeyondTheTrains]

Well I bit and tried it. Now I'm hooked.

Congrats SimRail Twitter 😂
