A final rail journey for 2 more 455s yesterday saw Rail Operations Group 37884 'Cepheus' working 5Q57 Wimbledon Park Depot Sidings to Derby Litchurch Lane with #SouthWestern 5710 & 5737 in tow. Seen passing Kettering 9E despite long delays on #MML passenger services. #ROG 17/1/26

Morning all. A bitterly cold morning as I recall, as 37408 ‘Loch Rannoch’ traversed the Oban line with the Grangemouth to Connell Ferry oil train. Another service that was lost to road transport shortly after. Hope you all have a great day. #Class37 #Tractor #LargeLogo

#OnThisDay 43 years ago Milton Keynes Central opened eclipsing Bletchley as the main station serving the new town (now a city) and becoming the intercity calling point. Later that year Class 310 EMU is seen calling en route to London Euston (Gary Thornton) buff.ly/suDuMIE

An all-BR blue Class 310 EMU with yellow cab ends is seen calling at the far side of an island platform at a relatively new Milton Keynes Central, the large black and white station name board evident on the right of the shot.

Setting up a work laptop and having to look at Win11 in its natural state should come with a free therapy session. Need to quell my immediate instinct to install half a dozen programs and patches to make the UI usable.

Pricing on Britain’s railways isn’t the biggest problem. In fact, if they was to reduce the price of tickets right now, the biggest problem will be made an even bigger problem! Capacity! Capacity is the biggest problem Britain’s railways currently face!

As I have said before elsewhere, I think the symbol for the new rail body should be Rail Symbol 2—pure and simple—and I think the word ‘Great’ is surplus to requirements; the version below uses carefully adjusted Rail Alphabet 2 SIGN Medium

It's three years already since I was checking over final revisions of the livery drawings before giving the green light for the repaint to begin on our InterCity 225 fleet. For such a simple looking result this was probably some of the most intricate work I've ever done 😅

Ok its a long shot, but does anyone have, or knows where I can get a Bachmann DMU headlight diffuser? Knocked them out when removing my 105 cab, found one but can't find the other. Doesnt look bad enough to spend £40 on a spares body for a small bit of plastic... #BSMRGUK
