Somehow managed to coordinate 11 other people to plan, buy tickets for, and go on a trip to France, and it feels like a miracle that it's all gone as planned...
...where does that go on my CV?

Had a brief but fun time with @coastwaywill.me and @pacerclara.insanity.tube riding the ex-DLR P86/89 stock in Essen yesterday, before they go away soon to be replaced by newer stock

Post the most recent photo of you in your camera roll.

I wish the Eurostar ticket office at London St Pancras could sell more mainland rail tickets than just Eurostar Red routes.
London being the only Eurostar station without a ticket office capable of selling tickets across numerous countries like SNCF/SNCB/NS/DB can is a massive missed opportunity

What is it with so many hotels only having a handful of useless small lights scattered around, instead of having a proper Big Light...

Hello hello!
Been a little while since the last thread, but off I went today on another international rail adventure - my longest one yet!
13 days. 13 countries. 1 bag. 0 sleep last night. Let's go!

Once again find myself on the European mainland 👀
This time having dragged over a friend/colleague over to the Netherlands, for his first experience using his FIP discount and coupons.
It pains me how many rail staff don't make the most of this wonderfully valuable job perk!

Ban them from Pride. Ban them from being our spaces (looking at you RVT hosting LGBT Labour). Do not vote for them in locals or general. If they knock on your door tell them to fuck off. Write to your MP saying you will not vote for them. Campaign against them if a candidate is good.
Asked if Keir Starmer still believes that a trans woman is a woman, his spokesman replies "no".
Says that trans women must now use men's bathrooms

5 and a half hours ago I was in bed, bored, with no clue as to what to do today...
Now I find myself in a pub in Belgium trying out some ale (I'm more of a cider person) 🤪

That feeling of being half-dead on the train home after a night shift, while everyone around you is freshly out of bed, wide awake, and full of energy 🥲

I used to hate the spring clock change, but tonight my night shift will only be 11 hours instead of 12, and that's certainly something to look forward to 🤩
