firing white phosphorus into refugee camps is like.... it's *the* war crime. it's so clearly immoral, so obviously evil.

this is your friendly reminder that suzanne collins actually wrote the hunger games during the iraq war. the inspiration came to her when she was flipping through tv channels between reality shows and footage of the iraq war.

Really really happy with how this video turned out! Had a lot of fun chasing the train to get the lineside shots peppered throughout.

israel shut down one of the only news outlets covering the genocide in gaza and its consequences as israel picks up its bombing in rafah

A normal X turn with an unusual twist; washed out the Atlantic, first time it's been done on one of these in a fair few years!

We're absolutely delighted to welcome our very own No.1, 'Talyllyn', back into service - hauling her first passenger train since 2018 this morning!

The overhaul has been an amazing achievement & we cannot thank the staff & volunteers involved enough.

Doesn't she look gorgeous?

It wasn't just No.1 enjoying the limelight today, for the first time in over 70 years No.2 'Dolgoch' took on water at Tŷ Dŵr watering point!

The watering point was demolished in the early 1950s and was rebuilt in 2022 thanks to the very generous donations from our members.

British political parties as Doctor Who monsters.... 🧵

Tories = Daleks

Shouty, pimpled Nazi wannabes who will exterminate anything. Have mad plans that obvs won't work - sending refugees to Rwanda / removing the earth's core to pilot it around the cosmos, etc.

Nonsense, Tories cut 800 libraries, 1340 sure start centres, 600 police stations, 600 swimming pools, 4,500 youth work jobs have been cut and 750 youth centres closed, 700 football pitches Council funding cut by £11.3 billion. Sunak LIES LIES and LIES

A selection of post show fun

Detaining people on camera to make a party political broadcast on the eve of local elections stinks to high heaven.

Don't miss out on the chance to see, and take plenty of photos of, No.1 taking on water at Ty Dwr for the first time in nearly 80 years at our 75 Appeal Mini-Gala photographic charter!

Book now & see what else is happening at the gala!
