After 6 weeks out of the driving seat, I’m back 🙌 I’m signed off fit to drive again with no medical restrictions, and feeling so much better in myself. Eased back in slowly with a trip to Derby and back on 222019 as 1F37 and 222012 as 1C59. Happy to be back doing what I love ✨

A pretty special day on the WCML. 💙
Yesterday we had @LumoTravel's first all-female Preston > Euston crew🚆🩵
Proud to be part of a team showing the railway is for everyone. Here's to breaking barriers, inspiring the next generation, and many more moments like this!

✨ Officially Class 1 Steph ✨
After a long couple of months, I'm officially signed off and flying solo between Preston & Euston! 🚆
It's been an emotional few days. I genuinely didn't think I'd ever get here, but now I'm trundling up and down the WCML with a train full of passengers! 💙🩵

Absolutely brilliant day onboard the inaugural Lumo West Coast press run 🚆✨
What a journey it was! Amazing atmosphere onboard, great conversations throughout the day, and incredible to see so much enthusiasm for this brand new operation.
Days like this are always special, but this one meant even more. Watching @heather_waugh bring the train down from Stirling to Preston, spending time with some amazing people, and then welcoming my mum onboard at Crewe made it a day I’ll never forget 💙

Those Railcam follower drivers are getting everywhere...!
Making the move from freight to passenger, here is @S26PHY working 5Q43, the @LumoTravel West Coast driver training/route learning run from Preston to Milton Keynes Central.
How much longer will @traindrivermum be keeping hold of the treble 2's over on the Midland Mainline with @EastMidRailway?
To all those Railcam driver followers, give us a shout out and we will happily pop some footage on of you passing our cameras.👋👋👋

Watching on @railcamlive as I rolled into Crewe 💙🩵
