Train Driver on the Cumbrian coast.
Not seen 460 up this way before. Took it to Workington where it was cancelled and I had to put it on the carriage sidings.

Tonight’s steed. Not the greatest, but not the worst I’ve driven.

479 stands in the bay platform at Whitehaven with the ill fated Whitehaven tunnel in the background.

Reunited with the train I drove on my first solo drive. Always nice when it appears on the coast.

Having one of these bad boys crossing in front of your train at a few hundred feet has been one of the better things I’ve seen since passing out.

Rubbish photo but thought that was the network rail helicopter in actually along the coast. 🚁

Back in the saddle after 3 weeks of paternity leave. Like I’ve never been away

Been a while 🔵🌄. Couple of things happened since I last posted. Firstly passed out as driver in January then welcomed my first child in February. Hoping for a calmer rest of the year 😂

One of my favourite pictures I’ve taken at work. Back when I was conductor this was taken just after leaving St Bees heading along the Cumbrian coast.
