Sorry but Iβve always wondered, aside from the uni students and the unemployed, what sort of absolute glue sniffer is sitting through the night to watch the 1am free practice sessions?

I don't really post much on here these days however, I attended the @chilternrailway Cl. 68 & Mk5A Launch Event last Tuesday...
I was throughly impressed, they've done an amazing job getting them in service within 6months of ownership. Really pleasing to see!

Didn't ask for anything specific, but my Dad has really performed here. @CroftyF1's Commentator Notes from the 2025 Belgian GP. Made even more special because I was there!
Wow, just wow...

As a train driver, I am subjected to regular assessments. It appears one of those said assessments was sprung on me during my night shed shift while moving a couple of locos aroundβ¦β¦.!

We will provide further information as it becomes available.

My thoughts go to the crew and passengers onboard 1Y90 tonight, who have been caught up in what can only be described as a horrifying course of events.

We are aware of an incident involving one of our trains. Our immediate concern is for the welfare of our customers and crew who are on board. We are in the process of gathering all the details we can and are liaising with British Transport Police.

Weβre delighted to confirm that weβre introducing newer and more trains to transform customer journeys in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and the West Midlands.
The Mark 5A trains will replace our 47-year-old Mark 3 carriages on one of our three main routes, between London and the West Midlands, from early next year - a major step in delivering our #2030Vision

β οΈ Severe flooding across the North West means many services are unable to run.
@TPExpressTrains and @northernassist are advising passengers not to travel.
Sorry about this. We're doing our best to drain the water.

Well... I've taken the plunge.
Made my account over on @bluesky, feel free to follow me @mainbranchlines.bsky.social
Will keep this active for now, but likely deactivating sooner rather than later.
What a shitshow...
