A bonkers day as asparagus paraded through Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway by 7ft vegetable … start of National Asparagus Festival and yours truly makes a cameo appearance, the first ‘round of gras’ going to the National Star Centre bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gl…

Night or day the @InstaVoltUK at Booths, Garstang are super reliable and super easy to use. Takes the Octopus card too! Visiting family on the Fylde - @Nissan Ariya perfect car for the trip too! @PaulNissanEV @NissanElectric @PaulNissanEV @OctopusElectro @AAPresident

Top up charge at Winchester, a second Mer 50kW charger has been added. The @NissanUK Ariya is delivering much greater range than its 330 mile WTLP. 4.4 miles/kW, 100% overnight charge at home showed 380 mile range. Happy!@AAPresident @PaulNissanEV @evmanuk @FullyChargedShw

At the @HRA_uk Awards in Birmingham with colleagues from the @GWSR - announcements of the winners soon! All the great and good of the heritage railway industry here. Fingers crossed!

Gaslit london - dim pools of light in Green Park last night. Gas lights can still be found in some corners of the Capital

Is this the first time a @Nissan Ariya has been used as a wedding car? Ours took my daughter - the now Emily Mills - to her wedding quietly and comfortably. It’s a roomy car and plenty of space for the dress! @road_electric @AAPresident @tewinburyfarm #electriccars #NissanAriya

Glorious @TewkesAbbey filling fast for the Epiphany Carol Service beautifully rounding off the Christmas season #TewkesburyAbbey #Christmas #Epiphany2023

End of @GWSR season 2 Jan & end of ticket for 1919-built #GreatWestern 2-8-0T 4270: poignant last trips for this fine loco. It’s now heading for Margate museum on display pending overhaul. Goodbye old friend. #steam #Cotswolds @MelHolley @jackboskett @SteamRailway @GaryBoydHope

evyve (not come across them before!) have installed a dozen Type 2 connectors on level 2 car park at @GloucesterQuays - easy to use and well signposted. Takes contactless and at least the @Shell_UKLtd / NewMotion Card @AAPresident @EVCafe1 @road_electric #ElectricCar

Haringay have commendably put several @ubitricity lamp post sockets in the streets around Bounds Green - but they’re unmarked so are mostly ICEd, finding one with a vacant space is a struggle. 3 or 4 are next to disabled spaces @zap_map @road_electric @AAPresident @NissanUK

Locomotives being readied for the @GWSR Mixed Traction Showcase this weekend! Class 45 diesel positioned in car park for cab visits. Don‘t miss it! #Steam #Railways

Goodbye LEAF … Hilary receives the key to the family‘s new @NissanElectric Ariya. It‘s a fine hi-spec and roomy car. Top @wessexgarages service: thanks for the surprise Champagne! @road_electric @AAPresident @EVNewsDaily #ElectricVehicles

Quite a meeting of Elmley Castle Lodge 6247 in Evesham: Charity Steward @PeterRoss19 (R) presented £8k cheque to Asst PGM @pvfirminger (L) @WorcsMasons for @Worcs2022 Charitable Appeal, Bro @BenSidney1 was also passed to 2nd Deg in a brilliant ceremony by WM Andrew Goodman (C)

The charging hub just off the M6 j27 at Crow Orchard. How EV charging should be! Excellent fast chargers and good facilities #mfgevpower #evcharging ⁦@AAPresident⁩ ⁦@EVNewsDaily⁩ ⁦@road_electric⁩

A 1,700 mile trip through the Netherlands and Germany - in a Nissan LEAF ev. There are lessons for the UK given the extremely comprehensive network of chargers throughout the Netherlands. This is our story @road_electric @Fastned @AAPresident @NissanEVuk electricroad.co.uk/2022/08/r…

Just stopped at the #AralPulse Ladestation at Remels service area off the A28 a few km from Oldenburg in Germany. The logo is identical to @bppulseuk - but it doesn’t accept the BP Pulse card - but takes credit/debit cards @road_electric @AAPresident @evmanuk @NissanEVuk

DB is offering €9 tickets to travel on any services (except inter-coty / ICE / international) services for a full calendar month! No catch. Offer includes steam services such as Harz and Molli Smalspurbahnen @VisitGermanyUK bahn.com/en/offers/regional/… #steam #Railways

Electric Nissan Leaf 62kW driving the back roads Netherlands - what‘s not to like? @road_electric @EVNewsDaily @EVCafe1 @AAPresident @NissanEVuk #ElectricVehicles

We could learn about #evcharging of #ElectricVehicles from the Dutch. Type 2 everywhere - ie 200+ in Delft centre! Reliable fast/ultra hubs admirable ie a service area had 18 Fastned & Shell, some UK have just one 😢. @NissanEVuk @road_electric @AAPresident @EVNewsDaily @Fastned
