Trains. Tracks. Shacks.
Haphazardly visiting every station (and the odd #notastation) in the UK.

@Lewis1876 @MDMorrison82 @lt4kicks @TartanArmyGroup @TheTartanScarf Surely a fleet of short buses was needed for the Scots? j/k !!

@trainfanmatt Seek medical advice 🤣

[TRACKiST @TRACKiSTuk]

@Grummz Governments need to start classifying companies such as Google, Microsoft as utilities like gas, water, etc. You're severed from so much now without using them. Monopolies seem to be a thing of the past as well :/

@JRailVolunteer Id have to check my notes, but i believe the last time it happened, they also went via the Lee Spur and took the long way round to Charing Cross.

[RAIL EXPRESS @railexpress]

Another sickening piece of vandalism....

125 Group power car and carriage with extensive graffiti at the East Lancs Railway.

Railway say it was a calculated act of destruction against irreplaceable heritage assets cared for by volunteers.
Info to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Managed to catch 66742 & 66748 (T&T) hauling 5Q65 "Brittanic Explorer" from Eastleigh Arlington to Stewarts Lane earlier today at Clapham Junction. https://t.co/H2c7sjDegj

Helsby (P4) ✅
Taken on Good Friday, the unit (156426) has just arrived after shunting from P2 (having arrived empty stock from Chester). Now the clocks have gone forward, the return trip to Ellesmere Port can be done in daylight.

@trainfanmatt Had this issue from Glasgow to Crewe the other week... Like a sauna. Crew change at Crewe and temps went down immediately. "Train managers" having a laugh... Only one ticket check as well.

[TRACKiST @TRACKiSTuk]

The little train that could! 230001's antimacassars have an Intercity Swallow embossed into them. Slap some cork underneath and sell them as drinks coasters @GWRHelp?

Are you ready? (Aye, aye, captain!) 🧽. Time for some non nautical nonsense for three days around Glasgow and Ayrshire with the BLS raising money for good causes. @BLSFixtures

455712 + 455732 still plodding on this evening with 2F91 (absolute screamer fast to Surbiton) - 17:02 departure. Good to see lots of photographers/videographers at nearly every station on the way down.

[TRACKiST @TRACKiSTuk]

Leatherhead [LHD]. A rather cold, wet and miserable afternoon to be out, but as trains are turning back here due to a "track circuit failure" (not cable theft?), needs must. It would have been fine had SWR not canceled the previous service I was due to get, which are hourly 😭

[TRACKiST @TRACKiSTuk]

@emmatraingb It did arrive just before midnight and there are limited options of getting anywhere except by night bus after 00:30. Plus no-one is sure what the actual last working will be atm. The units are out on the same diagram tonight I believe.

[TRACKiST @TRACKiSTuk]

2D78 having just arrived at London Waterloo, where it's time for 455712 & 455732 to go to bed. Counted about five fellow enthusiasts to see it off. Is this the end?

[TRACKiST @TRACKiSTuk]

@Ogilvie_CJ The Tram of Theseus.

[TRACKiST @TRACKiSTuk]

Wimbledon Park LUL. A quick revisit here earlier today whilst ticking some stations.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with "4" 😉. They have come out to play this evening.

[TRACKiST @TRACKiSTuk]

Ardwick (ADK).
@northernassist - You may want to make announcements on the train that this station has no more trains for the day, as a young woman alighted and was completely lost (wanted to get back to Manchester). Thankfully it was still light.

[TRACKiST @TRACKiSTuk]

@ShuttlePenelope @drSwarm @GWRHelp @RailOmbudsman @seatsixtyone Worst. Advice. Ever. Although GWR are not covering themselves in glory here.

@BrettOfTheSouth @GWRHelp You can use this link and then look for services formed of 8 cars (noted on right of table) : https://t.co/IkstSW5Gv7
