Ended the outing with seeing some Class 37s and a Class 70 at Chester. 😁

Quick trip onboard an ex-WMR 323 takes me back from Wavertree to Liverpool. Got one or two more things to go see before the day is done!

I’ve had quite the sprinter-centric morning/early afternoon today! I’ve offset it by the fact I’m sat on a 331 as I speak, but hopefully should be trading for a 323 within 10 minutes or so to head to my next destination. 😁

While at James St on Platform 2 I decided to try and re-create a photo that was taken almost 10 years ago. Quite happy with the result. 😁

A collection of photos from my trip to James Street for a rare opportunity to have a look around Platform 2. Always odd seeing James Street from this angle; loved seeing all the artwork up close. 😁

Our simulator was a big hit last time we brought it to @LlangollenRail, and this weekend (17/18 October) we'll be back for the Heritage Railcar Gala! Come to see us in the waiting room at Llangollen station to test your driving skills.

Quickly made a detour to Birkenhead to see the brand new poppy remembrance livery applied to VKB708 this week. Got a salute from the driver too. 🫡 Back to Liverpool now!

Had a quick trip up to St Helens and back to have a ride on a Class 397 followed by a Class 323! Back in Liverpool now… let’s see where to go next. 😁

Lucky catch; another Stagecoach Gold Scania working service 1 between Chester and Liverpool drops me off in the city from Birkenhead. Time for some trains. 😁

Morning! Just out and about today, got some trains to travel on but first I’ve got to make the most of these Stagecoach Gold Scanias before they go on the 25th. Been a while since I’ve really documented my travels here so trying to be more active again.

Time for a job update! First interview sadly didn't work out, however, my second interview with another TOC has been successful and I'm now in the talent pool for the role of Cleaning Operative. Hopefully I get a start date soon, either way, very exciting... 👀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

In August, I appeared on ITV News on A-Level results day talking about my attempts to enter the railway industry... Well... tomorrow I'm happy to say I have my first in-person interview with a TOC! Quite nervous but I'm hopeful all will go well. 🤞 (And another on Friday!) 😁

Currently watching The Celebrity Traitors, and I do wonder. Which side do you support when you watch? For some reason I always root for the traitors. 😂

I’ve done it! After months of work I’ve finally been on every last one of the Stagecoach Gold buses in Merseyside! 😁 KX61DLZ was my last Scania and SN65OCZ was my last e300. Shame none of them carry the livery anymore, and the Scanias will be gone soon. Rare, decent buses.

Had about an hour to kill in High Wycombe town centre before heading off for a gathering so I decided to swing by the station and see what’s going on. Saw a MK5 set, luckily it wasn’t the one in GBR colours. They’re no Mk3 but I do like the livery. 😁

The main takeaway from the responses is that I need to look at getting a Class 507 permanently inked on my body. 🤣 Is it bad that I’m actually considering it now? 😭

First tattoo: ✅ Matching with my older brother, we both have lights resembling an old Nintendo Wii remote. As the youngest I am player 2, he’s player 1 (so blue dot on the first). Didn’t hurt too much, would defo go again. Any Suggestions? 🤣

Replying to @epbpg
We said the 507 was the first *conversion* of a *preserved* 3rd rail EMU to battery operation. As opposed to the MLVs (which had batteries already) or the GWR 230 trial (not preserved)
