⭐️Trainbow took me to Cardiff
⭐️Saw the welsh castle set! Not a massive fan of HSTs me but was excited to see this one (I’m a class 80X girl)
⭐️ saw a training metro flirt with a pantograph!!!
⭐️ trainbow took me home
What is the technical term for this
Know what it does but never heard anyone talk about it
Drawing something for a project lol
Yes the photos mine, train wasn’t going anywhere, wasn’t active etc etc
Here is the final result! I absolutely love it

Took some photos this morning before I put more lotion on
(Excuse my bad attempt at removing background)
Will post again when it’s healed
Thank you to Sami Graystone at Physical Graffiti tattoos in Cardiff
Got to see her and go to Carmarthen!!!
She’s still got an open nose, maybe this time she’s shocked she came to Swansea after so long!
Welcome back to wales you lovely train

(800 008) tattoo so far! I have to go back to get the colour finished but I’m so happy with how it’s turned out so far!
It’s still new so is still swollen and sore in places but I’ll post it again once the colour is done
It’s

(not sure where probably America but I’ll still participate)
Everyone knows I absolutely adore trainbow but I’ve never actually spoken about my identity here
This train means so much to me and that is because I’m a part of the LGBT community
So where have I been?
Recently I applied for train manager and passed all the online assessments, waiting to hear more news now. I’d honestly love to do that
I also applied for trainee train driver and sadly I didn’t manage that one 😭 but baby steps, I’d honestly be so happy
If
@GWRHelp
had a disability pride train!
This is a really rough idea right now but this would be perfect
It’s disability pride month starting tomorrow so I thought I’d design this up
It’s been exactly a year since I met the
@GWRHelp
trainbow!
How she changed my life, I’ve had so much fun and everything else since then it’s been amazing
Thank you for trainbow
Had to put the tattoo in this post and a then and now comparison
It’s gone by so fast
#trainbow
I shouldn’t have to explain it but so no one asks again
- it’s not an obsession it’s a special interest
-I’ve been in uni 7 years and now I’m looking for railway jobs nothing wrong with that
- not all day and most of the time I rely on trains for transport
- does it matter
Today it’s been exactly a year since trainbow became my special interest
I was very invested in her before this point but this one special journey changed everything forever
Photos from 23/08/23 and 24/08/23
What is everyone’s favourite pride train/ trainbow and why?
I’ll go first
Obviously mine is 800008 (you don’t say lol 😂) ❤️❤️ because I adore her so much 🥹
Your turn!
Train strikes tomorrow so here’s my reminder to everyone
I will ALWAYS stand with train drivers and railway staff striking
Their jobs are a lot more complicated than you actually think and the responsibility is huge
Everyone deserved rights and to be happy within their job
✨More of a detailed announcement✨
My second album “The Trainbow’s Pantograph” will launch on 27/05/24
The album is inspired by 800008

@GWRHelp
trainbow back in pride month
This is not sponsored or anything but I thought I’d let everyone know they’re giving away a trainbow hat if you love trainbow just as much as me
Thought it was my duty as the trainbow woman to direct everyone lol
So I’ve done a thing, I’ve applied for this
Thank you so much
@ally_mcmurdo
for letting me know about this
hopefully all goes well!
I know nothing is for certain but I will keep on fighting for my dreams

I do not fall under the T umbrella myself but I will 100% always support you, you are safe with me
Sending my love and best wishes to everyone
Here’s a photo of lovely Trainbow/ Pom Pom who has the progress flag on her both sides each end!
Carmarthen and train driver lol
I did wonder how long it would take before people started thinking I was living in Carmarthen because I go there alot
Truth is… I’ve never been outside of the station 😂😂😂😂
The second post for my 1 year train enthusiast anniversary is my green hair era, was supposed to be gwr green but it never photographed that way and faded blue
Yes I was iet mad, iets the reason why I became an enthusiast in the first place

trainbow tattoo!
It’s in the healing stage in some of these photos so I’ll definitely post again when it’s completely healed
Trainbow’s taken me on so many adventures it’s time to take her with me on mine
Windowsill photo is onboard Trainbow
Exactly a year ago right now
I was feeling really sad as a few things where going on so I decided to stay with my bf for a few days
I didn’t think I’d see her but when I got to the station and went through the gates she was waiting for me on platform 2 🥹 i remember being happy
This stunning girl ❤️

loved the first time I caught trainbows reflection in a puddle so I thought of him this time when I took this photo
I miss talking to him so much

I get to be trainbow for the day
Jk there’s only a small section of track left where it’s accessible and is being returned to nature
The tracks are abandoned don’t go standing on random tracks and all that stuff

Trainbow in the dark! Doesn’t make for the best quality photos ever but I got to see her for quite a lot of time yesterday!
Lovely day (well evening)
I stayed in Carmarthen for over an hour but she was lovely and warm so no complaints there!
No Swansea photos this time as …

Hi
@GWRHelp
can you help me please
Lots of drunk men just got on the quiet carriage of trainbow and they’re barking at me and staring at me and making fun can the TM move them please?
Special post incoming!
Tomorrow marks my 1 year anniversary of being on a train on my own for the first time, my friend had to leave at Bridgend so I travelled BGN-SWA completely on my own
I suffered from anxiety for years which meant I never went far and never went places…
The last photo I took of her
The usual morning :( because she’s not back today again
Not sure when we’ll get to see her again
As I said focussing on myself and assessment until the end of the week but can’t help missing her presence
In this photo is also a blessed 158
Looking forward to seeing trainbow and travelling on her somewhere nice
I didn’t go down to pride because I wanted to see her! Looking forward to it
