Finally caught up with the retro SWR Help 455 today at Sunningdale, as well as a 458 and an MPV. Then a pleasant surprise thanks to Reading Buses on the 194 in Sandhurst....

Took an opportunity to visit a spot I love, but haven't used in years for an hour or so yesterday near Ashtead. A few SWR Help 455s, the last remaining (although now unbranded) 707 pair, and I'll chuck in a Southern 377 for good measure!

A couple from Potbridge today, two SWR Help 9 car Weymouths, a 450 / 444 pairing. Can't help thinking they looked much more interesting in Blue and White! 1W33, the 16.35 London Waterloo to Weymouth and 1W24, the 14.55 Weymouth to London Waterloo services.

Trains on Uber. Why? Aboard 450080 heading for Ascot then Clapham Junction, then a wander in London. Hoping to snap my 4 remaining SWR Help 455s. They're all out today....

A busy couple of hours yesterday at Guildford & Woking, ticking off my final SWR Help 455s. Also caught a glimpse of 458422 at Woking and the last two 707s at Guildford. Lots more, and buses too! All on my flickr.

Caught up with CrossCountry Trains's Pride liveried Voyager 220005, leading 220025 at Mortimer working 1M58, the 14.45 Bournemouth to Manchester Piccadilly service today. Looks very nice.

It was ACDC at #WembleyStadium yesterday, but it's still pretty much Taylor Swift's place! Took my Daughter to visit while wasn't loads of people around - She's going to see Taylor in August! Have to say the #SwiftieSteps look amazing! Taylor Nation

Yateley has been Tory for ever, and now it's not. One half (my half) is now Labour, the other, Lib Dem. Shame. Congratulations Alex Baker MP and Alex Brewer MP πŸ”Ά, fantastic! They properly got what they deserved last night.

Popped out in the rain this evening to snap some SWR Help Desiros sparking through Potbridge. My family think I'm mad, but I just can't help it!

Almost a year since I hit meltdown, stopped going out to take photos, lost all motivation, stayed at work for too long, Depression hit, therapy, medication, and lovely people helped me get back to near my normal self. Some from today in the rain. Talk πŸ™‚

Oh my God, that was awful. Everyone going on about Hunt out, maybe for the second half it should be hunt on perhaps. Couldn’t be much worse. #ReadingFC
