After a long day, one more train stands between me and my bed. 91110 stands at King's Cross, ready to haul 1N36 towards York. I'd better not let the comfort of those Mk4s get the better of me, or else I'll miss my stop! London North Eastern Railway 225 Group #Class91 #ECML

Took a wander out to stretch my legs just after lunch and stumbled across a pair of Intercity 225 workings. DVT 82222 leads 1A31 towards London (91114 shoving), and 91110 heading up 1D17 as it slows for Peterborough. A very gloomy February afternoon for photography! 225 Group

Back to work after a lovely weekend spent with my favourite people. Off to Wimbledon Park to catch up with some of my team before heading over to GB HQ at Cornhill. Travelling in style on a @lner Intercity 225. Have a great Monday! #RailwayLife #mondaymotivation #gbrailfreight

Popped over to the Delaine Buses museum for their open afternoon. A superb little place and definitely worth a visit. Enjoyed a ride out to Rippingale on their Leyland PD3, bodied by the small Loughborough based coach builder W S Yeates #businspector #buspreservation #delaine

Last 'big run' before the Brighton Marathon Weekend with a 20 mile leg stretch in Milton Keynes. My longest run to date and comfortably inside my target of 2h55m. Starting to get nervous about the 26.1 miles that beckon! #twinlakes20 #runninglife

Trying to get a Doctor's appointment is a challenge, trying to get a driving test is next level! I'm in the 'queue' again to try and book a test for my partner's child. They passed their theory test in October 2024, no tests since then Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency Department for Transport BBC East

Starting #225Day with a ride into London on 1A04 from Peterborough, 91124 providing the motive power. Carefully managing my work commitments to make sure it's a ride back on a London North Eastern Railway 225 Intercity service too! 225 Group

A brief moment at London Waterloo today gave me this photo of SWR Help Class 455s passing on the station throat. An everyday sight that is now beginning to fade away with the introduction of Alstom UK & Ireland Class 701s. #Class455 #BREL #LondonWaterloo

Thoughts with the railway family who are having to deal with this terrible incident tonight, and all those who are caught up in it 😞

On a very wet Monday morning 91130 hauls 1D10 northbound towards Tallington Junction. In tow is the last 9-car rake of Mk4 coaching stock on the East Coast Main Line. The other 225 sets have been shortened to 7-car formations for the upcoming timetable change. London North Eastern Railway 225 Group

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! Here's hoping that 2026 brings good health, and plenty of time with the people who matter most.

Escaping reality for a while with a trip on the Nene Valley Railway behind BR Standard 2 No.78019. Steam heated Mk1 coaches, perfect for a winter's afternoon. #nenevalleyrailway #railwaypreservation #steamheat #mk1coaches #britishrail
