Maybe finally time for me to go and visit/ride the Northumberland line! Something I didn't want to do because it would just involve constantly going back with the new stations!

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Let's go on an International Adventure!

I just really like trains... What else can I say! @geofftech.bsky.social

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

New Train Time! Its the first day in service of the brand new East Midlands Railway Class 810 Aurora trains so I'm heading up on their inaugural run up to Sheffield & back!

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

So despite Beaulieu Park opening **tomorrow**, tickets to and from the station still cannot be bought on @greateranglia.bsky.social TVMs! This might need to be sorted soon!

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

Ok. I need to say something. If you don't want me to be around with your group please tell me. I would prefer to people to kindly tell me to sod off rather than make posts specifically about me then blocking me. I apologise to the people i was around yesterday for joining you when not invited.

Well that was fun! Spent a very long and a very enjoyable Saturday doing Imberbus! Had a very enjoyable day with some friends as well which made the day even better!

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

Good Morning and Happy Saturday! Out at a party last night so wasn't expecting to wake up until about 12 and then was gonna chill but woke up about 9:30 and fancied a trains day! 701017 is up first into Waterloo!

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Another really good day out on the rails! Was out and about in the Birmingham area and was successfully able to tick off 19 stations! I've been awake since 3:45AM though so I could really do with my bed! Luckily 701037 is speeding me towards it! (not literally don't panic! Lol)

062

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

And a very good albeit early morning from Shepperton! My second attempt to catch this service and luckily it was a success! 450020 running on her own is my early train towards that there London!

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Whoever said there was no more 465s on Ashford via Maidstone services... yeah maybe not! Not only did a 465 come down, it was 465908 #NetworkSoutheast Seen at West Malling with a London Victoria to Ashford International service!

080

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Hello! Welcome to the visit and change at Ashford 3 times in 2hrs section of the day! Having cleared the awkward stations of Westenhanger, Sandling (which was my 950th station by the way!) and Pluckley, its back on the Charing Cross line to Headcorn!

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday! After having 450041 into town this morning, i then spotted 701046 with its new GBR stickers! Anyway, plan for today is Southeastern stations but a fire near the track at Otford has meant I've already had to replan! Let's see how this goes!

130

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

📌 Honiton It was going so well... not! Lost about 12 minutes on the run down from London but it's got to the point the signaller has let the train towards London ahead of us on the single line. Supposed to be out at 11:16, now not leaving until **11:55**! Who's idea was this!

180

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

Can normally do home to Waterloo in roughly 1:30hr. Today... 2:20hrs due to both the cancellations of 2H10 and 2H12 getting stuck behind a broken down train at Wimbledon! Anyway, luckily made my connection onto 1L17 which I will take all the way to Exeter with 159009 leading!

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 26/05/2025

First train of SWR under government control is.... cancelled! Sign of things to come, yeah probably! Anyway, its Monday! Which is normally bad but today is good cos its time for a big trip. A VERY big trip! 455739 & 5728 take me into Waterloo!

030

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Some slight delays on the Coastway have been helping! A late train meant I was able to grab Southease really quick and then jiggle a few things about to stick on plan for the last part of the day! Southease ✅️ Plumpton ✅️ Falmer ✅️ London Road ✅️ Cooksbridge ✅️

051

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

I think I may have a bit of a wait for the next train! Is good cos it does luckily mean: Horsham ✅️ Pulborough ✅️ Billingshurst ✅️ Amberley ✅️ Christ's Hospital ✅️ Back to Gatwick now to then head South!

030

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Made it to Clapham where after a stop in a certain fast food outlet for breakfast, it's the first main train of the day! If you can't tell, its a Southern Daysave kinda day! 377212, 7203 & 7446 take me South! 🚦Clapham Junctiom 🏁Amberley

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Good Moaning and Happy Saturday!! The first day out of 4 in the next 6 days and we are going a bit green today! 455854 & 5721 are the starters! 🚦Shepperton 🏁Clapham Junction

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

It's Friday! We made it to the end of another week! 701017 returns after a small absence to form my normal train heading to Waterloo! Have a great Friday!

080

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

Sudbury Branch ✅️ This is a really nice and scenic line! I also find it quite unique the intermediate stations can fit the 3 carriage unit but yet the two terminus stations can't. You'd expect it to be the other way round!

070

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

Braintree Branch ✅️ One of those lines I hear about on videos and on announcements when I'm out! Good to get it ticked off! Would say for both the trains i was on, the trains are full pretty much from Braintree! Maybe 10 cars all day would help out a lot on here!

160

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

I've found a way to crosspost between this and the other app! So expect more things to Appear on here!

210

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

And hello Liverpool Street! Off for a day Anglia way today into deepest darkest Essex which means its gonna be a lot of these Class 720s! 720585 takes me to my first of many stations for today!

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Its Saturday again which meant its train day! Decided to head off to Bath for the day today which was really nice! Plus i got to colour in some required track, that being Bedywn-Pewsey and the curve avoiding Westbury between Pewsey and Trowbridge!

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Have some more trains for your timeline!

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Hey!!!! I realised this app existed again so thought i'd say hi! Been on half term this week so ended up spending my Froday collecting stations in Cardiff! Very nice to get every station on the Rhymney & Coryton lines and a lot of the City-Loop lines done as well!

0150

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Hey! I really like this picture for some reason. Took it today. Maybe its the moody sky that was coming over! Back out on the tracks on Friday for a very interesting weekend adventure!

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Good Morning from Euston! Heading up to Liverpool today with Avanti onboard a slightly delayed 1F14! First ride on an Evero and my first big trip of 2025! Yay!

Overheard on the bus today: “It’s too expensive to park the car in town and now the kids have free bus passes, it’s just as easy to take the bus.” Policy in action.

Oh and for anyone wondering, i give you my final RailMiles scores for 2024! 19,884 miles ridden on trains in 2024 i personally don't think is too bad at all! Let's see how much it is in 2025! Oh and if you want to find me, the link is there! ethanafro.railmiles.me

A snip taken from my RailMiles showing i've ridden trains for 19,884 in 2024. 1814 of those took place in December and 1177 of those took place in November. Overall since i started using RailMiles in December 2022, i have built up a total of 33,309 since i started using the site!

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

So 2025 is within touching distance and i have to say 2024 has been one of the most amazing years of my life! I have a lot of memories made from this year i'm not going to forget very quickly and i've done it with a lot of amazing people! So here's to 2025 and another year on the iron road! ❤️

Hello Bluesky! One of the advantages of living where I am (and there aren't many!) is the fact that every morning i get to ride SWR's brand new Arterio train into college every day! 701039 is the trusty steed this morning!

090

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Might even start using this app more! The cross-posting thing kinda didn't work cause i don't know how to officially do it but i'll see if i wanna go over here pernamently. Maybe not yet but let's see what happens!

040

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Its not often you see GWR at Euston but it happened today! 800316 took me into here on 1Z22 from Swindon! It was cool though to see GWR stations on the boards at Euston!

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 18/10/2024

Time to head onwards to the South Coast for a few days! 444027 & 444004 take me down to Poole!

EthanAfro @ethanafro.bsky.social · 18/10/2024

Good Morning people of the BlueSky! I might even start posting on here a bit more seeing as there does now seem to be more than about 3 people on here! 455861 & 455720 are starting my Friday off taking me into Waterloo!
