what I want versus what The Green Party want

Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I’ve told the BBC I won’t be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity.

Well done Gary Lineker for standing up for refugees. Well done Ian Wright for showing the meaning of solidarity. Now, let's mobilise against a politics of cruelty, and defeat this inhumane, illegal & immoral legislation.

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service

Dusk on a damp day in Brussels. The train shown has its DC pantograph (current collector) raised. At the start of the high-speed line, it will be lowered and the AC one used for the rest of the journey to London. All done on the move. A great bit of design and engineering!

158747 at Leamington Spa on 22/09/00. You wouldn't know it from looking, but this was actually a Virgin Trains service. VT chose to run them in unbranded Regional Railways Express livery. I guess they weren't exactly on brand.

First day of British Summer Time and I find myself in Scotland once again, albeit lineside as opposed to on board a train. A trip up with a good friend for 37403, working the return leg of the SRPS Railtours 'Highlander' charter. Seen here passing over Culloden Viaduct. C37LG

37403 'Isle of Mull' absolutely shatters the peace as it thunders over Slochd Viaduct with the return 1Z39 Inverness to Linlithgow SRPS Railtours 'Highlander' charter. C37LG

The Highland Chieftain arrives in Inverness alongside 37403 "Isle of Mull", ahead of its GBRf Charity tour to Kyle of Localsh tomorrow. One of three class 37s currently in the area.

This is a eco litmus test, which vehicle is better for the environment?

Bit of an early start in the West Highlands, with the mist having yet to burn off. 37406 ‘The Saltire Society’ makes its presence known with the white roofed West Highlander land cruise stock. #Class37 #Tractor #BritishRail #WestHighlands #Trainspotting Friends of the West Highland Lines

You know what’s longer than an even these lorries….

Nice lineup from my 374 yesterday!

Eurostar route map updated with 2024 destinations. Incredible really.

I haven't been posting much since Twitter started going downhill, but in case you've had enough of today's politics here's a 455 on the Shepperton branch earlier today!
