By the end of this year I might need to do another #AllTheClasses challenge!
Since I did the challenge a few months ago:
507 gone
175, 379 returning
756, 807 entered service
323 area of operation changed
During 2025 the Ex @greateranglia Class 379 Electrostar fleet will be making a comeback to the railways to @GNRailUK after 3 years in storage #Class379
I’m claiming 210002 for haulage after getting this last night.😂
One second per class 🤣

(I think this is my favourite rendition of the whole trip 😁)
@RunsOnRails asks which class was my favourite?
It’s gotta be @SbridgeShuttle class 139, of course! 😄
Greater Anglia’s Stadler class 745 comes a close second.
#AllTheClasses
For once I actually managed to do the twitter thread (mostly) as I went along!
Here’s meticulously-planned Day 1:

Spoiler: I did it!
Here’s the tl:dr version 🤣

Three weeks ago I went on a little railway adventure. It’s taken me this long to have time to write a thread to wrap it all up!
But finally here is the conclusion to my week riding every class of passenger train in Britain*!

For completeness:
Train 123
Class 387 (75/78)
Built 2014-2017 Bombardier
Operator gWr

My train home!
It’s also rather pleasing that the #AllTheClasses challenge ends with the Paddington Band!
For some reason this week they are in a different place, the departure platform of my train home!
This means I’ve seen them four weeks in a row!
