If your A level results are disappointing, don’t worry. I got a C and two Us and here I am today, installing lights for a helicopter landing pad in my garden.

CrossCountry Trains On 10:13 from Leeds to Penzance. Stuck in a corridor with 12 other people. There's zero air-conditioning or ventilation. Can you sort this out please. Not good enough!

Could not get this remotely sharp, been trying for 20+ minutes now 🤣 Oh well. Tyne and Wear Metro 555 009 takes me to Haymarket with 2I04 (T104) to Newcastle Airport. These units are brilliant... when they work. Still got that new train feeling too.

Little bit of a question for anyone who frequently does railtours. My operator has said that they'll confirm final timings 5 days before departure. Should I expect any significant changes from the provisional timings?

Great Western Railway’s fast-charge battery train has set a world record overnight for the longest run on a single charge by covering 200 miles between Paddington and Oxford. The run comes as GWR promotes batteries as a viable option to replace its ageing diesel units.
