A lot of trains. Visited every railway station in Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and Liechtenstein 🇱🇮

25 from 25!

Review of the year/advent calendar from a very busy year of travel.

Starting with a journey on the most northerly line in the UK, the Far North Line. To get to Thurso, trains have to reverse here at Georgemas Junction from Inverness.

@TomDearlove1 156s are definitely mega traction

150s, I'm afraid you are wrong on that

[Tom @tomyorks]

Visited stations in and around Preston and Blackpool on the weekend. Some debatable traction around but some really nice stations on the South Fylde line!

Salwick the major achievement though, as it's only got a few trains each direction. Luckily they pass about the same time.

@MonsieurPiddly Proper team this, didn't get promoted though

Championship one fun and slightly addictive too

[Tom @tomyorks]

@trainfanmatt Cleaned a few windows for it to turn nice?

[Tom @tomyorks]

@trainfanmatt A pacer

[Tom @tomyorks]

@BRtractordriver I can see why, lovely section of line!

[Tom @tomyorks]

After visiting Bradford-on-Avon, took a long walk by the Canal to Bath!

The canal also runs near the railway line for a lot of the walk so it was a very nice walk indeed😀

[Tom @tomyorks]

Bradford-on-Avon, my 2000th UK station ticked!

Well over 75% of stations ticked too🎉 Really nice station as well, restored brilliantly so it looks like it's historical days.

[Tom @tomyorks]

@swtransport_ Stations between there, not dorch itself

Got better things to do than go there :)

[Tom @tomyorks]

Warm day out today in the south of the country, ticking stations between Basingstoke and Dorchester!

Briefly went to Lymington too which is lovely, as well as passing through the stunning New Forest. Bit of coastline too at times as well made for a great trip south☀️

@Official_WXUK Has to be C

[Tom @tomyorks]

Great journey all the way through to boiling London🥵

Fortunately the Aircon was pretty decent. It's clear to see though from today that these guys will not be regulated favourably against Avanti.

All in all though, a fun first trip on Lumos west coast operations!

[Matt @trainfanmatt]

Too warm.

Bring on winter.

❄️☃️😁

[Tom @tomyorks]

@SteelCityDog_ Hopefully! I haven't had a long journey on one of this in a while, I do like these units

[Tom @tomyorks]

Hello from Stirling!

Here for one reason, the start of Lumos west coast operation!

[Tom @tomyorks]

Headed back towards lowland Scotland today, spending time in Dunblane and Stirling.

Can't believe I've never explored Stirling before, some stunning views of the castle and the distant mountains!

[Tom @tomyorks]

Star of the show yesterday though, the Hastings Diesel consist!

Seen thundering through Golf Street at some speed. Seems appropriate for me too that my first sighting of it is in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Tom @tomyorks]

Brilliant day going round the mainlines north of Perth, with some very rateable traction too🔥
