Managed to get not one, not two, but three Metrocars in a row unintentionally last night! Now heading down south to my next stop via the Durham Coast diversion.

Finally dragged myself to Crawley today, to see all the loans at the moment! First up today has been the very healthy HW52 EPN, on a thrashed run from Horsham to Gatwick!

Been too long, but my first time on the trams in Sheffield, and they’re super!

The end of an era yesterday, the train I first worked alone, and now I’ve worked for the final time… the class 455. Was an emotional morning with a Cobham, and Woking semi fast on my favourite service, to close out my run on these! Icing on the cake having both a /7 and /8.

Been a lovely day out, will be back up here soon no doubt!

A very good morning from Kings Cross! Time to head to Kings Lynn on the full run with these lovely 379’s!

The whole run from Waterloo to Exeter was not the plan tonight! Due to cancellations and a Do Not Travel, we decided to claim a refund and go to Exeter via Waterloo - then once we arrived at WAT all services where reinstated! At least it’s a comfy diesel 🙂 @onthetrainjames.bsky.social

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

A nice pair of 455’s for my Epsom round trip this evening, then back to a 450’for my last working.

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

Same job as yesterday, and one of my favourite runs done! A nice semi fast service up from Woking with this pair.

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Got 701057 for the rest of my job today! Had a 455 to start, so no complaints here.

✅ Pula, Croatia 🇭🇷 A Jess Glynne filled outbound flight on Jet2, and a butter landing on a rather turbulent easyJet A small, but beautiful place, that is still quite industrial with a large ship building facility!

There we have it, finally completed the NAN ‘Not A Number’ express down to Dorking! Forgot how busy this one is, even on a Monday 😬.

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

With my brain successfully frazzled, I am now trained on 701’s! Nice to get a trip down to Windsor as I don’t sign it. Although my assessment train to Hampton Court was chaos due to signalling issues!

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

It’s railtour time! Class 43159 leads with 43200 on the back, with a run up to a Heaton from Derby 🔥 @skyehaynes.me

So many photos taken in Budapest so far! But first of all here’s the cog railway, in all its glory! @skyehaynes.me

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

An increasing rarity on metro work now, compared to recent times is a 4 car! Was good fun taking it down to Chessy and back. Makes you think stopping in different places to usual, and good for the trainee driver!

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 13/09/2025

With the sun in the worst place possible… 701053 takes myself and @skyehaynes.me from Reading to London via Twickenham and Kingston diverts!

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Covering part of a Farnham job today! So that means shuttles, shuttles, and more shuttles!

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

After a lovely day at Crawley Bus Depot open day, it’s now time to head up to the Midlands! So happy we’ve got the stunning 807010, and it’s @skyehaynes.me first 807 too!

‘Nice pair’ 455720/721 are my units for tonight’s round trip via Epsom!

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

In London for a non railway day, but can’t help but have a ride to Vauxhall on the monster that is 455715!

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Covering a Farnham job today, just finished two shuttle round trips. Now off to Waterloo to work an Alton later, last time was December!

A lovely evenings trip down to Dorking today, makes me realise how much I’ll miss these when then do finally do.

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Personally very impressed with these Irizar ie trams on the Kent Fasttrack! A nice specification, and lots of passengers commenting on how nice they are, and even calling friends to say they’re on them.

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

A nice ride down to Gravesend on some #betterinred, ran fast from Lee to Dartford which was something different!

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

A great evening out ticking off Stourbridge Junction and a new 68 with @chilternrailways.bsky.social. A lovely ride as always with @skyehaynes.me.

Hello from Hampton Court! With Effingham Junction closed today, I’m doing a diverted Cobham service. Not often you see two trains down here on a Saturday. Got a nice 30 minute wait too.

James @onthetrainjames.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

A very desiro day today, which is very much appreciated 🥵

A lovely summers evening down in Hampton Court today! I’ve got 455715 on the back, and it sounds glorious.

Diverting an Epsom via Cobham this evening was not on my list!
