Intercity Cross Country, a 47/8 up front with a rake of Mk2s. I can just hear this thundering past. So where are we going today? Happy times. #Class47 #Duff #InterCity #CrossCountry

Good morning everyone. The end of another week; I hope it’s been a good one for you. Back to a late afternoon in the 80’s at Crewe, and AC veteran 81013 shunts through the fast lines. Hope you all have a great week ahead. Stay safe. 🫡 #Class81 #BritishRail #Crewe

In the days when a trip to Carlisle was wall to wall corporate blue! 85036 Stands in the sidings with fellow AC locomotives. Definitely miss the sight and sound of these roarers! #Class85 #Carlisle #BritishRail

87243 ‘The Boys Brigade’ caught making a light engine move through Crewe station. A loco that I was always fond of, as it was the first 86 I was ever hauled by, albeit it was blue back then. #Class86 #Crewe #InterCity #BritishRail

Colas Railfreight liveried 60047 ‘Scafell Pike’ arrives at York with 6H12, Tyne Dock to Drax Power Station. The harsh autumnal morning light and shadows very evident! #Class60 #Tug #York

Good morning all. The end of another week, and I do hope it’s been a good one for you. A little bit of tug action from yesteryear today. 60003 ‘Christopher Wren’ approaching Gascoigne Wood. #Class60 #Tug #BritishRail #GascoigneWood

The nights are drawing in, and Leeds takes on a different light. 91127 ‘Neville Hill’ awaits departure to Bradford Forster Square. #Class91 #Electra #LNER

A little bit of North Wales Regional Railways action today. It’s the mid 1990s and there’s a variety of different traction available. Pick your favourite and enjoy the ride! #Class31 #Ped #Class158 #RegionalRailways

If you squinted a bit, and had a few G&Ts, it could almost be a scene from the 80s! A Duff up front, and a rake of blue and grey air conditioned mark 2s in tow. The sound of a big Sulzer and the whirring of those motor alternators… #Class47 #BritishRail #York

Wonderful to see the progress that’s been made at Huddersfield over the last few weeks. 185139 Awaits departure with a service from Scarborough to Manchester Victoria. #Class185 #Desiro #Huddersfield #TRU

Late to the party as normal! But here we have it, what an achievement, 50 years of service for the High Speed Train. It changed my life in a way I’d never have expected. A train that revolutionised UK railways. #HST #HST50 #Class43 #Class253 #Class254 #PowerCar
