Long haired, train driving sausage roll fan who looks for the positivity in everything. Welcome!
I’m clearly not used to early shifts, a passenger said hello and I wished him a ”good night” 🤔 it was 7am

My mini tour of the top bit of England complete I can announce the following:
1. Doncaster Library has trains inside so is therefore fantastic 🚂
2. Chesterfield is home to a bakery selling giant croissants so is therefore fantastic 🥐
3. Sheffield has many model train shops which is fantastic 🙂

Thinking of setting up a private account showcasing my electric train photos 🤔

I’ll admit it’s been a few years since I last set foot inside a library but when exactly did they start filling up with steam engines?! 😍

I took the platform clock trying to spell the word ‘beef’ as a hint that I should go and eat some beef 🤔
Couldn’t find any of that but I thought pork is similar and that’s in sausage rolls so I had one of them instead 😇

Went to leave for work this morning and noticed the neighbours wheelie bin in the middle of the road.
As I approached it the wind blew it down the road so I gave chase shouting “FENTON!”
I’d just like to apologise to any of my neighbours I woke 😇

Remember that thing we used to call sunshine? It might be hard to believe but I’m sure we’ll see it again someday 😊

Good morning and good luck to everyone starting back at school/work today after the Christmas break ❄️

My advice for preparing to leave the house this morning? If you can still move your arms you don’t have enough layers on 🥶

New train driving challenge unlocked: driving with a very giggly passenger sat right behind you who’s laugh sounds like a seal 🤦‍♂️

Wishing all of you a very happy, healthy new year filled with many trains! 🥳

For anyone working this Christmas Eve I hope the hours fly by and you’re on your way home before you know it 🙂
Especially anyone working in public facing roles today may you have green signals and dry rails or whatever your industry equivalent is 🎅

It’s very early and I’m already in Ipswich. At least my body is, I’m sure my brain will be along a bit later 🤔
Have a lovely day wherever you find yourself

Tell the staff in the bakery to stop crying and the guys in the buffet coach to put the lock back on the door…
I’ve officially beaten man flu and I’m going back to work 🙂
All aboard!

Twas a chilly one last night. Fair play to anyone who let their tiny shunter sleep indoors last night🚂 🥶

I’m no expert but I’d say someone’s put too much fuel on the stove in that guards van 🤔

I’ve eaten an obscene number of roast dinners and we still have 9 days left to go 🤔

This time yesterday I was on my way to the North Pole! Which, thanks to the magic of the Polar Express, is less than an hour from Norfolk!
An epic trip, I still have gooseberrybumps from it! 😊

I have a huge list of jobs to do today to get the house ready for festivities so obviously the first one I’ve picked is to build a model railway to go under the tree 😇
Oh wait that reminds me 🤔 I need to get a tree…

I told you I’d find something to brighten your timeline today 😊
December 10, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Underneath the dirt is a bright orange/yellow livery to brighten your timeline! 😊… ho hum, I’ll try again tomorrow 🤷‍♂️

When I arrived in London and found this beauty outside the station it took every bit of my self control not to “borrow” it and head back up the Great Eastern Mainline 😊

My final night shift was a filthy night. The sort that no soul should have to go out in.
But then this rolled in and I was entirely up for the shift again 😊

I heard a rumour it’s Friday. If that’s true, I hope you have a great weekend! 🥳
