@DavidHorne @LNER A true gentleman and railway legend! You’ll be missed.

@EurostarJustinp @TitanicBelfast Did you travel there on The Enterprise? The interior fittings are very reminiscent of the original Class 373’s.

[Peter Strong @peterstrong35]

@EurostarJustinp @TitanicBelfast We went there a few years ago, it’s one of the best museums I’ve ever visited.

@ScotRail Class 158

@TMBlakeEurostar I’m sure your colleagues would have appreciated a hand on that train though. 😜 Whenever in standby, I always help my colleagues out on the starting services from Newcastle. It gives them head start and makes the day go quicker for me.

@EurostarJustinp South Shields… greatest place on earth, and my hometown. Colman’s is a fine choice too!

@EurostarJustinp Seen at Newcastle this morning as 1Q06.

@ring I’m not sure this advice is particularly helpful. Perhaps moving the Wi-Fi router closer to the front door may be more practical.

@EurostarJustinp 2/2 I’m looking at any faults which will impact the journey, either by delay or passenger experience, HVAC, toilet facilities, cleanliness of train, luggage and bike storage areas secure, emergency equipment and contingency water supplies.

[Peter Strong @peterstrong35]

@EurostarJustinp 1/2 I like the idea of it, but it’s not something routinely done when on cover, we call it ‘orders’ at NCL. Personally though, I like to know my train before departure. So quite similar to your process.

@seatsixtyone Working a train to Edinburgh yesterday morning. I’ve already seen passengers who’ve benefited from this once in a generation fares reform.

[Peter Strong @peterstrong35]

@EurostarJustinp As well as being the record holder… I also like that it’s alongside 4403!

[Peter Strong @peterstrong35]

@EurostarJustinp Yeah, we’re staying in Strasbourg, but will also be visiting Basel and somewhere in Germany, but not sure where yet. Any recommendations?

[Peter Strong @peterstrong35]

@EurostarJustinp We’re heading for Strasbourg on 9004 on 05/12, back on 9039 on 08/12. Perhaps you’ll be working one of those.

@EuropeByRail @AndyBTravels @seatsixtyone @superalbs @_DiningCar @networkrail It’s a type of Pandrol rail clip, to hold the rails on the sleepers.

[Peter Strong @peterstrong35]

@hcrossers @NewarkNorthgate You’re most welcome! They were a lovely couple of gentlemen, both retired from SNCB and Thalys. Thanks too for the LNER merchandise.

[Peter Strong @peterstrong35]

@hcrossers I believe there’s an instruction in the Sectional Appendix, to not report Mail Trains with blue lights illuminated.
