So the massive Eurostar related kick that making this video got me on has influenced my financial habits a bit, still makes a nice addition to my small but ever growing train DVD collection!

Well its been quite a year for me especially in expanding horizons and putting jokes to bed! Went on some fantastic adventures to many different places with many great people, here's to more in 2026!

Just finished this excellent novel by @jayforeman.bsky.social and @markcooperjones.bsky.social as someone who isn’t a big time reader I must say I enjoyed it massively and if you’re someone who likes maps I’m sure you’d like it too! (providing you haven’t read it already)

This way up, when maps go wrong (and why it matters) by Jay Foreman and Mark Cooper-Jones aka Map Men

It’s A-Level results day! Congrats to everyone who got into their top choices. A reminder too that my grades that I got last year match with this engineering firm

Am I the only person that gets oddly fascinated in looking at Manhole covers for telephone lines working out the eras they come from? (yes this is how niche my interests can be)

Hugh Hillier @hughtfl3.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Well this was a cool thing to see at Derby earlier

Sad that I couldn’t enjoy any of the festivities today organised by @225group.org.uk due to saving up for future trips but happy #225Day everyone! Rode these fabulous trains with East Coast and VTEC as a child but my appreciation for them only really started recently and I’ve grown to love them.

Not a day goes by when I don't think about what it would've been like if this single had been released (Alt text for context)

Call on Me was originally conceived by French DJ's (konwn as Together) Thomas Bangalter (of daft punk fame) and DJ Falcon using a sample of Steve Winwood's track Valerie as a DJ tool in 2002 however despite record labels begging them to release it as a single they never did. Swedish DJ Eric Prydz would later 'steal' it and get it to number 1 in the UK in 2004. (Together version is better tho)

I am afraid to announce today that I am leaving the TfL Three it’s been a wonderful couple of years working with Daniel and Dylan but there’s been too many creative differences and I feel it’s just time to move on. Enjoy future content from the TfL two and on my new channel Hugh playz games

Hugh Hillier @hughtfl3.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

Gutted, would have made a great video and I was very excited, hey ho, i'll probably ride it some other time maybe when its doing more diagrams

Hugh Hillier @hughtfl3.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

Also fair play to Wandsworth borough council for finally deciding to clean up falcon road underpass at Clapham Junction here’s some designs propsed

Well that’s a sight to behold pretty sure I rode this one with Great northern last year. Oddly it was coupled to a GX liveried one running a stopper?!

Hugh Hillier @hughtfl3.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

Well it turns out I own a piece of history, apparently this thing shut down

Hugh Hillier @hughtfl3.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

First time on the overground since the rebrand, honestly excluding the names themselves which are rather clunky, it’s actually seems to be very effective at making the system easier to navigate for newcomers but also aids in finding disruption
