Hi, Daniel here. I enjoy having a good time with friends and family plus watching trains, F1, British Touring Cars, listening to music, and swimming.

@custard5876 Fair enough. Hope you have a nice weekend.

[Daniel Johnson @danthetrainman]

How time flies. More units will probably get the new GBR livery over the coming weeks.

[Alstom UK & Ireland @AlstomUK]

Marking one year since @SW_Help entered public ownership, one of our Class 701 Aventra trains has been wrapped in the new GBR livery!

No. 701006 is the 45th Derby-built Aventra to enter passenger service on the South Western network.

Thanks to @EastMidRailway for the chance to look at the first refurbished 360 (107) at Kettering today before the set enters service next month. 360109 has also now been done and all 21 should be done by mid 2027. Its a real step change with 2+2 seating replacing the original 3+2

Yesterday saw Lumo launch their new West Coast route, running from Euston to Stirling, using former EMR Class 222s reconfigured to a 6 car formation. Currently only having one return journey a day, said journey is seen with 222601 passing South Kenton in the afternoon sun
