So on the 22nd September I shall be visiting every London Underground station within 24hrs for the amazing

I’m aiming for £1000 so please take a look and come and say hi
Just want to publicly thank the
@LNER
staff and the
@BTP
for their quick thinking and professionalism at York station. Thanks to them a gentleman gets to go home alive as they resuscitated him and deserve the praise and credit
So if you see this well done and Thankyou
These two fulfilled a massive tick off my railway bucket list last night.
I got to drive an electric up the WCML a line I grew up on.
I was full of adrenaline and excitement. It reminded me why I love this job Thankyou
@RailFreightUK
for giving me that opportunity
I genuinely think the Pendolino is the uk’s best modern train. I know it’s a 20yr design now but the ride, environment at speed is unmatched by the Azuma. Virgin and their team did a great job in selecting them.
As much as I loved 90/87 mk3 these really are a class above
Oh Jesus I’ve got the talkative taxi driver that things because he drives a taxi it makes him qualified to drive trains and just a simple phone call is all that it takes
Remember we all get sad days and bad moments. They pass and there are people out there that care and love you. Even if you don’t know them. There are people in your life no matter how little you interact with them that care about you. You are never alone in this life x
Having read the statement from the
@eastlancsrly
chairman I find it hard to understand why anyone would choose to go there again. It admits sexual harassment and claims
@JoanneMCrompton
was fired because she dared talk about it
I’m afraid the railway doesn’t deserve support.
Thursdays cab ride and tour of lawley st. Thankyou to
@RailFreight
for permitting it
@heather_waugh
@RailwayFamilyR1
for organising and allowing me to be a small part of the charity and giving me away as a prize lol. A fantastic day all round
Why good morning you scary lot. I hope the miserable day outside isn’t casting a downer on you as people. Remember you are loved and you matter so fill your hearts with joy and know someone out there thinks you’re amazing
Good morning I do hope you all beat these winter blues and push on through. In case not ones told you this morning. You are a wonderful person and deserve happiness. Much love and hugs xx Brian
@JoanneMCrompton
As someone who not only advocates but actively encourages women to join my industry I am appalled at the treatment and own goal the ELR has scored here. You are a leading light and example and inspiration to many young women wanting to follow you into the heritage sector.
@DomTheTrainNerd
Here’s the problem. You’re 19 and think you know everything, British rail as an entity was successful. It balanced the intercity trains with cross subsiding the local trains. Over the years the government picked off the profitable bits.

I can’t post my adventures today as I had a rather splendid view of the WCML courtesy of an Avanti Pendolino cab. For obvious reasons pictures aren’t available
I want to thank everyone that has supported me and join my TikTok channel. Last night we topped 10,000 viewers which is amazing. I want to thank
@RailFreight
for their support and for allowing me to post what I do. Amazing company to work for I feel lucky to work there
@TimDix24
I’m sure you love your boy with all your heart. However please for his sake and your own. Keep him safe and on the right side of the boundary.
As someone that drives trains I can assure you it takes seconds and you may think your quick enough. You aren’t keep him safe please
@SimonMagus
Please share with us your knowledge on how railways run and how soon we can expect driverless trains
Or are you just the village idiot running his mouth?
It’s amazing how many automation specialists seemed to have popped up on twitter recently.
With all these so called experts you would think one of them would have solved the railways automation in an instant ……
Full and standing 11 coach pendo all the way to London.
First class has standing passengers as has standard premium. But remember folks no one is using the railway anymore
@AvantiWestCoast
embarrassing. First train of the day and you can’t even run it. 05:13 Lancaster to London the premium train used to be called the Lancashire Pullman. Hang your heads in shame oh I’m sure you’ll blame the staff. Poor management all round
@matthewstrode
@AvantiWestCoast
It’s tweets like this from people at avanti that really don’t understand the railway that cause train crew to not want to help companies out.
Why would you volunteer to work extra for a company that treats you with such contempt ?

@RMTunion
No some have the option to do overtime on Sunday or not. Don’t try and pretend it’s their duty. Their contracts don’t require them to work on Sundays. You want that changing you need to pay them better and persuade them to make ot part of their working week
