NEW VIDEO! For my first video from the Nordics, we’ll be looking at Sweden’s “newest” operator, Finland’s VR! But not quite as you’d expect…

NEW VIDEO! I tried the Avanti West Coast Superfare and went from London to Glasgow for £30… but did I get more than I bargained for?

Up North on an Intercity 225 set this morning, but I won’t be posting about it here…

Going forwards, you can find me on BlueSky (https://t.co/yBaFurGayX), where I’ll be more active posting updates there. It’s been a fun ride on Twitter, but as always, the journey continues 🫡

@DownOnTheStour The Chiltern livery looks great on the Mk5s 😍😆

@mark395625 @EuropeByRail Will instead run from Rotterdam as opposed to Amsterdam, but otherwise is still remaining

Mad to think I was on this train just this time last week… thoughts to all those affected 🙏

The Amtrak Cascades train was carrying 48 passengers from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Seattle when it hit a fallen tree on the tracks, the company said. https://t.co/a1L1uwJRGs

Only took 2.5 years, but you can now fill up water bottles for free on an @AvantiWestCoast train!

Meanwhile Chiltern charges 25p for the water at Marylebone station… 👀💀
