Rail hopping all over the UK!

My double @tfwrail from Telford to International on 158823 and 158838. #trains

4E49 on the Daventry to Doncaster Tesco freight through Birmingham International. #trains #freight

[Rob B @railhopper21]

The only positive of being half an hour late home was being able to see two more trains go through Wellington. The one being a passenger service which strangely went through the platform whereas the ECS went straight through the loop at speed. #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

@87027wolf @WestMidRailway Good pic. Got to be there at the right time!

[Rob B @railhopper21]

@WestMidRailway 196108 trying to sneak through Wolverhampton after developing a fault at Galton Bridge and delaying everything back to Wellington. At least it meant seeing a train go into platform 6, been about 25 years since I’ve seen one in there when it was used regularly.

[Rob B @railhopper21]

Can’t say I’ve ever seen 4 class 158 units coupled together but due to a tree on the line near Coseley two @tfwrail services joined together to get to Shrewsbury. Only just fitted on the platform! #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

Took advantage of the special trains to Cosford to finally depart Platform 2 at Wellington towards Telford. That’s all three platforms there I’ve now departed Eastbound. #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

66427 on 4S44 Daventry to Coatbridge freightliner through Preston. #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

The DMU on the @svrofficialsite at Arley going to various locations! #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

7714 at Bridgnorth and Kidderminster on the @svrofficialsite. #steam #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

Credit to @merseyrail, @northernassist, @TPExpressTrains and @EastMidRailway for managing to keep to my plans on Monday with barely any delays. Had some tight connections and they were easily achieved! #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

@merseyrail 777028 from Moorfields back to Birkenhead North after 12 hours on the go! #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

@merseyrail 777011 taking me from South Liverpool to Hunts Cross and back to Moorfields to complete the Merseyrail network. #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

@EastMidRailway 170205 & 170530 taking me to Liverpool South Parkway. Can’t believe 530 still has the London midland livery on its seats! Blast from the past that. #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

@TPExpressTrains 802203 takes me back to Liverpool. Love these trains one of the posher ones about! #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

@northernassist 158903 & 158793 from Wallgate to Victoria. The low sun was being a pain! #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

It all got very exciting at Wallgate. 6E16 Knowsley Freight Terminal to Wilton EFW Terminal stopped at Wallgate to swap drivers and then a steam went flying through on the West Coast Main Line. #trains #steam

[Rob B @railhopper21]

An interesting one next on @northernassist 323225. Wigan to Liverpool and return via two different routes. Outward journey via the usual St Helens and the return via Newton-le-Willows to tick off the rare line through Golborne Junction. #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

Sandhills to Headbolt Lane on @merseyrail 777148. #trains

[Rob B @railhopper21]

Back to @merseyrail 777015 to take me from Ormskirk to Sandhills. Is this the only station left with a buffer stop in the middle and electric one side and diesel the other? #trains
