I went to Litchurch Lane in Derby to see the preserved Merseyrail Class 507, and got to give it a drive! Courtesy of @class507.org.uk

Crowne Plaza Hotel in Plymouth!
Strangely, the cheapest hotel for the night in the city at £92. (Cheaper than Premier Inn and Travelodge were!)

Had a penthouse restaurant, swimming pool and sauna and everything! I'd honestly say it was worth the money.

My latest video has made it onto the hype leaderboard! Many thanks, all! Still don't fully understand this system, but I assume this good? 😅

It would seem that changing my bio accordingly on my (I should say, NEVER-HAS-BEEN-ACTIVE) Facebook account has been far from effective. 🤣

NEW VIDEO!!
A solid 10 minutes of useless train information, which I slowly gathered up over the last 3 months.. One of my favourite videos I've ever made so far!

Very excited to publish this evening's video! This has to be one of my favourite videos I've ever made. Coming in about half an hour!

I understand the appeal of Parkrun now

Unsure if this is a hot take, but YouTube should remove the "X of 10" feature.

All it does is stress you out wondering what the number will be, and if it's like, 8 or 9 or 10 of 10 then all it does is demoralise you, even if, say, a while ago that number of views would have been considered great!

PC: WHAT THE HELL?? OH GOD. GREAT HEAVENS! IT'S THE END OF DAYS! AAAAAGH *crash*
*plugs headset into different USB port*
PC: Well hello there, friend! 😇

New.. short??
I explored the Mail Rail tunnels in London!

This was originally going to be a long-form video, however I decided it was actually probably best suited for a short. So that's what I've done!
