This is an awesome video
There’s diesel engines, there’s heritage railways, there’s Rebecca, There’s me, there’s Geoff, there’s a councillor called Chris.
But most importantly, there’s a vision. A project that could connect communities and improve lives, which is what the railways are all about.

First weekend after three weeks of Covid and post-viral fatigue. Time to do some things, see family etc…
Or, have a huge sciatica flare up, and spend the weekend in agony…
It’s a total joke. Have a train

I’m so lucky to have met so many friends in the railway community, despite it being a passion for me and not a career. And I love the stories I get to tell as a result.
Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

I’ve had Covid for a week now. Whilst I’m over the worst the residual fatigue with this “Stratus” variant is tough. Meant to be in Cornwall eating all my favourite things. Instead I’m sulking in Stevenage.
Enjoy a train. Yes I’m so fed up I’m sharing a Pacer. I hate Pacers

For the scientifically minded amongst you…
If you’ve lost your sense of smell, does vapour rub stop working? Or do the active ingredients keep on working even if you can’t smell it?
Yes… I’ve got COVID and this stuff matters, how very 2020 of me
