@Northern_Amos @northernassist @railcamlive This is the route I need to find you on at some point!

@CousinScrappy She is indeed. At Long Marston. I doubt she’ll come out to play again sadly.

Couldn’t resist but to ‘Reggie’ my nails again! Can’t believe it’s been 2 years since the #Class323 finished with West Mids.

Friday 27th September 2024: the Last #Class323 in Passenger Service for West Mids. I had the pleasure of driving 22.53 B’ham to Bromsgrove & back & then putting her to bed for the last time on #SohoDepot Do still miss these trains.

Bit of a dull & drizzly weather day here at #SohoDepot - I’m the depot fairy today… the beck & call driver for anything the Shunter wants. I have a trainee driver with me so we’ve had a good walk around & I’ve filled his brain with depot info! #DayInTheLife #TrainDriver
