A very good evening!

This evening you join me at Paignton with 800310 “Wing Commander Ken Rees” ready to work the Devon Express 1A98 Pgn - Pad. Nice to be down here again as this isn’t somewhere I regularly come to.

Have a wonderful and safe weekend whatever you’re doing!!

@Stagecoach_West

I presume your aware Vehicle 18420 has 2 different registration plates? Front plate and back plate do not match I’m sure @DVSAgovuk would love that

@LeadHostSarah Amount of times I nearly fell into it because I’m not used to the platforms being that low 😂

[Ryan James @ryanjames800]

A very good evening

This evening you join me from Paddington Platform 7!

Very unusual for an IET to be on this platform as it’s a dedicated HEX platform which has a larger than usual gap toward the end and are very low down as these are designed to accommodate the old HEX 332s

A very good evening

This evening you join me from Carmarthen with 800022 waiting to form a service back to Paddington

First time I’ve visited this location. The views on the way are absolutely incredible.

Have a safe and wonderful evening whatever you doing!!

[Ryan James @ryanjames800]

@greatestgather Booked it as soon as it came up. Couldn’t resist 😂

[Ryan James @ryanjames800]

A very good afternoon

This afternoon you join me at Stroud having just arrived in from Paddington.
The station looks absolutely fantastic after its refurbishment. Almost looks like the IET is photoshopped in.

Have a wonderful and safe rest of your day whatever you are doing!
