I havent posted here all year! (New video coming soon perchance)

A photo of a Class 156 at Platform 1 of Blackpool North station. The sky is clear and there are numerous buildings in the background. The photo is taken from a low angle and there is some grit salt visible on the platform.

Driving: 30 minutes Bus: 2 hours Ferry: 5 minutes (plus a long walk up the jetty!) Despite an hourly service (dependant on tide), the Fleetwood to Knott End Ferry is a pretty important link between two towns just a couple hundred metres apart! Pretty interesting trip if I do say so myself!

A photo of a small red and white Ferry at the end of a jetty on a river. The town of Fleetwood is seen in the background. The jetty itself is visibly wet from the river. The sky is partially cloudy and light blue.

A screenshot of the Google maps directions between Fleetwood Ferry and Knott End. The directions for the car states that the journey takes 33 minutes, as opposed to just 9 minutes when taking the ferry.

A few months back, me and @bplnova.bsky.social decided to explore the 'metroland' area of london. And I must say, its actually really cool! Really interesting stations and a fun mix of stopper and fast services from both the Met line and the Chiltern services! I think I should explore here again!!

A London Underground S8 stock is seen arriving into a platform at Moor Park Station. The front of the train is red, and the platform is partially sheltered, with a small group of people waiting to board. The photo is zoomed in and the sun is behind the camera, creating a bright and slightly overexposed image.

I keep on forgetting to actually post here! Oops... anyway, enjoy this shot of a Class 777 train I caught at Chester a few weeks ago! They're definitely some of my favourite trains :)

A bright yellow and black Class 777 train alongside a platform edge, partially under a station canopy. The view of the train is from very low down, looking directly towards the train. The sky is partially cloudy.

It's times like this when I believe that the right wing clearly have lost the upper hand in politics when they resort to these actions. Why should a SPENT conviction gtom over a DECADE ago be grounds for dismissal, despite it being known about publicly well before she was appointed? Disgraceful

To sum up the Brand New Everos (Class 805s and 807s) - Great Trains (despite small issues with the first class offerings), but the dark colour scheme really makes photography with it at night practically impossible! 😂 Have you been on the Everos yet, and if so, what did you think of them?

A photo of a Hitachi Class 807 'Evero' train in a dark blue and black Avanti West Coast livery, seen idle at the platforms of Blackpool North. The sky is dark and the platforms are wet, and the Blackpool Tower can be seen in the background, lit up in a purple colour, with the top gradually becoming more obscured by fog.

Something about Preston Bus Station at night and in the fog makes it so eerie... especially with it being so quiet. As one of my friends stated (@vexsg.bsky.social), it feels like something that would only occur in Eastern Europe.

The brutalist architecture of Preston Bus Station shrouded in the the fog and darkness of night. Lights emanating from Street lamps on the left and also from the bus station itself from the right. A few people doted about.

Originally i was really immature and just acted like an awful person Then i just started sharing photos or random little memes and stuff and people seemed to like it, and decided that random drama on the internet is really just not worth anybodys time

Finally went on a HST for the first time yesterday, and got a whole load of milage done on them! Never actually got a chance to go on one before so I had to jump at the opportunity to ride one, the 125group does an incredible job at preserving this set! What do you think of the HSTs?

Hello, new people! I see Coastway Will and a few others have promoted the starter pack out again, so it's great to see people about! I don't use this site too often. However, you will see the occasional railway photographs and other silly things from me! :)

The answer? Glasgow! North WCML fares are very cheap! Although.. a 50 minute delay on the way back thanks to a signal fault and trespasser means that I did it for even cheaper! :P ~500 miles and numerous new stations and rolling stock ticked off.. I call that a bargain (thanks Roundabout!)

Anyone want to guess where I've managed to bag a return trip to from Preston for just £25? Answers will be revealed tomorrow... but guess away! 👀

I think this going through Preston at full power is the loudest thing I have ever heard! I could literally feel it in my chest!! Genuinely one of the coolest moments of trainspotting I've had! Have you seen any Class 56s before? And if so, share some photos/videos!

A zoomed in photo of two British Rail Class 56 Locomotives, in a Yellow, Orange and Black Colas Rail Freight Livery, seen passing through a platform at Preston Railway Station. In the background, you can partially see the roof and roof supports of the iconic station building, as well as its white and red footbridge. The sky in the background is blue, and the exhaust fumes from the trains are visible above it, making part of the view look hazy.

I always forget I have this account but I think its time to make the move here after the chaos and failure that is Twitter... Talking about failures, here's the ill-fated APT now sat at Crewe Heritage Centre. It may have been plagued with issues but doesn't it still look beautiful!

Woah! It seems that the follower count on here has expanded by quite a lot! Welcome everyone :) I thought it might be worthwhile to show off one of the new Dutch ICNG trains that I managed to ride on a few months back! Have you ever been on one, and if so, how was it?

Remember a few weeks back when I mentioned that I've never seen a 'Maritime' Liveried Class 66? Well, 66727 decided to make an appearance when I was exploring Birmingham's railways the other week! Also, freight train people, am I right in saying this is actually a DB Class 66?

A photo of a Class 66 freight train, in a blue and yellow DB 'Maritime' livery, hauling numerous wagons, seen passing the platform at Bromsgrove railway station. The platform is damp with a few puddles, and there are trees lining the side of the track. The sky is covered with gray clouds which are only visible in the top left of the image.

It seems I've started to use this platform more, So i think it's best to do a proper introduction! :) 🧵 To introduce myself, I'm Fraser (better known as Vex), an 18 year old transport enthusiast who has primarily made railway videos on YouTube, as well as posting on other platforms (1/3)
