Last Friday Jessica's Out of Ideas came up north and we ventured together around Merseyside. We saw a pride train, visited a few stations, and did a little bit of bus and train spotting. It was a great day and definitely was enjoyable.

Why is Crossrail so cross?

Old meets new as GWR's 165118 and 230001 stand opposite each other at West Ealing. 165118 had just arrived from Greenford, and 230001 prepares to follow it on a test run.

A year ago today: The last day of Arriva High Wycombe, and one of the favourite photos I've ever taken, 2956 is seen in Bourne End. This bus is now in Maidstone. flic.kr/p/2q6BQUw

Had a fun couple days in London with Peddyjet and Kristina 🌙, as you'll have seen if you were following their profiles, however, one thing you won't have seen is Emmyskog waiting for a DLR train at West India Quay early on Saturday morning

Another thing we saw on Friday night was the Night Riviera! Although it normally is ran using a fleet of GWR liveried Class 57s, the night we saw it it used a blue one instead! 57312 is seen at Paddington waiting to make the journey to Penzance.

On a trip to Ipswich, I decided to explore some of the country network, having explored the town network on a previous trip. A very familiar looking Allie 🏳️‍⚧️ was behind the wheel of 102 in Framlingham having completed a 118 from Ipswich. flic.kr/p/2rkPXDM

One year since everything changed. One year since the start of the rest of my life. One year since I started oestrogen. Thank you to everyone who's been my friend, and especially to Katie and Kristina for being there when I needed them.

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans Pride Surrey With the company of Jessica's Out of Ideas and Trans Pride Surrey, we marched through the streets of Epsom, including a pit stop at the suffragette statue. A very solid turnout for a town of this size, and a good selection of items in the maker's market.

A pair of GWR Class 165s at Bourne End yesterday evening. 165128 prepares to depart on the 1801 service to Marlow and 165121 prepares to depart on the 1801 to Maidenhead. At peak times, trains are due to arrive and depart Bourne End at the same time!
