It’s A-Level results day! Congrats to everyone who got into their top choices. A reminder too that my grades that I got last year match with this engineering firm

Am I the only person that gets oddly fascinated in looking at Manhole covers for telephone lines working out the eras they come from? (yes this is how niche my interests can be)

Sad that I couldn’t enjoy any of the festivities today organised by @225group.org.uk due to saving up for future trips but happy #225Day everyone! Rode these fabulous trains with East Coast and VTEC as a child but my appreciation for them only really started recently and I’ve grown to love them.

Well that’s a sight to behold pretty sure I rode this one with Great northern last year. Oddly it was coupled to a GX liveried one running a stopper?!

First time on the overground since the rebrand, honestly excluding the names themselves which are rather clunky, it’s actually seems to be very effective at making the system easier to navigate for newcomers but also aids in finding disruption

One of those photos lookis wayy too similar to one I took at that station a few months back! All joking aside I do hope the driver is ok, having to deal with that I'd imagine is very difficult
