That’s my year 1 summary assessment complete and license renewed for another year. Crazy that I’ve been driving trains on my own for a whole year already. 1 down, 30 to go. 🥳 #DriverLife

Good morning from Great Yarmouth. Had a lovely ECS run here today before heading back in service as 2P03 - 0612 GYM to NRW. Busy day ahead with a trip to Sheringham then Lowestoft, up the East Suffolk before a 100mph blast down the mainline. Have a good day all! #DriverLife

Nights. 745005 waits for its slot to head across to Crown Point. It’s in need for a bit of work so I’m popping it straight into the shed when I get over there. #DriverLife

What a difference a day makes. Same job as yesterday so, in a slight moment of de ja vu, I’m up the shunt neck. Aside from being bloody Baltic out there it’s nice to see the sun ☀️ #DriverLife

Most of us are closer to being bankrupt than we are to being a billionaire
Most of us are closer to being homeless than we are to being a millionaire landowner
Forgive me if I have no sympathy with those moaning about having to pay a tax that they should’ve been paying in the first place…

The lack of survival instinct possessed by pheasants is actually incredible. I’ve hit about thirty odd today! 🤦🏻♂️

The first of 4 trips to Felixstowe for me this evening. Followed by the last East Suffolk and a trip “across the top” empty. Enjoy your Saturday evening, whatever you’re up to! #DriverLife

Shed and Ferry shift for me this afternoon. Lots of shunting bits about between depot and station. Here I was walking through 745109, up the wash road, changing ends to get it into Crown Point. Always a little eerie with the lights off! #DriverLife

Ah, Bluesky breathes again!
I think it might crack 2m new users in 24hrs. No wonder it’s creaking!
We’re gonna need more seats! 🦋

One of the many things I love about the railway is how once something has a name it’s very hard to shift it. 755327 is being stored on the “ploughs road”. The ploughs haven’t been kept here for at least 2 years but we still call it the ploughs… odd behaviour really 😂

I’m working nights this week and I’ve just been asked to shunt 755414 to the depot. Little did I know that 414 is sporting a new livery. First time I’ve seen it in the flesh, very smart! #DriverLife
