I'm a train driver on the beautiful South Coast of England. All views are my own and all pictures are taken from a position of safety. I enjoy walking, reading and cats.

Just split this 8 car, with the front bit being diverted to Bognor Regis vice Southampton, and I'm taking mine to Chichester.

Made it to Southampton this time. And I've got a 387300 series. I think this is it's first day of service for Southern. White train with blue doors!

Well, what an evening that's been! My train to Portsmouth was 30 late getting to Barnham. Then told that I'm terminating at Havant. Get to Emsworth with a green, only to be contacted by the signaller that there's a points failure at Havant. 90 minutes later I leave Emsworth!

I'm so glad that they put Sussex under Fishbourne. I could have ended up on the Isle of Wight! 😂
