Unfortunately I haven't been able to go trainspotting for a while due to work and other commitments. Annoyingly, my camera is broken and there's an issue with the SD card so I'm not trying to extract the images from it.
Anyway the other day I hopped on the W&C line which was nice.

It's safe to say I will certainly be minding the gap...

I have a mild peeve as a wheelchair user taking trains.
So many stations will be marked as step-free to trains and have gaps like these. Usually I have to pop wheelies over these as my front wheels get stuck, however it took months to learn so I just used to get stuck & have to ask for help. (1/2)

I visited the LondonTransportMuseum today and it was pretty cool! This map was of specific interest to me since it's cool how you can see the modern day Circle, H&C & Metropolitan Line routes!

I was passing through Newcastle Central station a couple days ago and spotted a Class 802 201.
Perhaps it's a controversial take but the Transpenine Express has the best standard livery out of all the other 800 variants used by other TOCs.
