So that's @My_Metro longest distance single journey completed. 0946 St James - South Shields 1113 (full length of the 🟡 line) 🌍31mi 32ch ⏰1hr 27min 📍40 intermediate stops 🚉555017 I still miss not getting the "Drivers View" like on the old units

Heading to a city with a river that's allegedly foggy 🤔 – at London, England

So the bridge at Thorne North was hit again yesterday afternoon - this time by a 🚜 hauling giant Weetabix! Thankfully I was on a earlier train home

COME ON ENGLAND!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 v 🇹🇴 @rugbyleaguewcup

"Dogbox on Tour - Donny Edition"! @networkrail #153383

Disgusting that the only way to watch the Rugby League World Cup for UK viewers is subscription based!!! The BBC should hold their head in shame! Finally agreeing to show short highlights is not good enough. Anyway, fantastic opening game between 🇦🇺 v 🇳🇿

I’ve worked 43hrs in the last 4 days, and to be honest, it’s taking its toll. Late off on every shift as well. One more shift to go……

Bridge strike by Thorne North station this morning. Caused not only hours of cancelled @northernassist services, but completely blocked up the town centre similarly. #bridgestrike

Despite finishing work after 0100 this morning, and this being my single rest day before a week of early shifts, the rostering fairy has worked in my favour for once. 0734 start moved 3hrs later to allow a Dover colleague to get leave, and still finish by 4pm

Current view 🪟 Yes, I know I'm blocking the crossing, but I'll be on my way soon. Promise..... #trainwindowviews #signalbox

I'm covering a Dover depot job today, starting off at Ashford International on one of the few class 2 trains we work - 2R06. Taking a 12 car class 395 into stations with 4, 6 and 8 car platforms - time to breath in.

Is that time of year already? #RHTT

Enough said....

Looks like we had 92018 all the way from Edinburgh, rather than a switch at Carstairs. "A mixed result on your nights sleep" according to my watch (no 💩). Anyhow, I have coffee ☕

My sleeper home tonight starts wholly from Edinburgh (rather than also a portion from Glasgow), so I've had to make my way across the central belt to get to my hotel on wheels. 92018 is at the front, 16 coaches further on. Trust me it's there. I've checked! – at Edinburgh, Scotland

What could have been.... Yet again, Lumo service to Glasgow caped at Edinburgh. I seem to be so busy nlucky on this. Oh, and the Callly Sleeper back tonight will only run from Edinburgh. Still, everything is getting refunded, so I'll try again another time

Arriving 3 mins early after such a long journey is pretty good. @LNER longest distance journey ✅ 1E16 0755 Inverness - London Kings Cross 🌍 619mi 5ch 🚂 800112 ⏰ 9hrs 15mins 📍 11 Stops Diverted via Carlisle due to engineering works, so about 40 miles longer than usual – at London, England
