43187 (my personal favourite) certainly does not look that shiny any more.
I wish GWR washed trains occasionally….

American cars have always been poorly built.
They’ve never looked at a European or Asian marque and thought it was better, although the American consumer has now woken up to this.

The death of the Buffet Car was the singularly worst decision in rail travel (except maybe privatisation) ever.
Recently did PLY-PAD and was at Newbury before I could buy a drink.
Missed revenue is commercial stupidity and everyone needs a brew on a train!

Serves the protesters right.
A lawful order from a Police Officer executing their duties must always be complied with.
AND
an assault on a Police (or emergency service worker) should always be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

He’s a complete crook, but you did vote him in for a second shot, even after his first foray into robbing a country.

That makes the 10k CW seat I flew LHR-CPT in today look positively rubbish.
BA no longer a class leader, not even close.

They are the singularly most uncomfortable trains.
Then GWR put the same seats into the ‘oh so comfortable’ HSTs, hoping we wouldn’t notice.
I’ve got to go PLY-PAD on one on Wednesday😞

If I’d known you guys were coming through Plymouth I would have dropped in to say hi.
I hope you had a great weekend!
I’m going to miss the HSTs, I was on that platform when the first one came through. They seem to have always been there!

I’ve only recently rekindled my interest in railways, which I had as a boy. I’m better at photography now, so it is more rewarding.
Many of the people I have met, both young and old have been marvellous and I’m glad I made this change.
Feel sorry for those without interests or passion, you need it.
