A quick intro, as some of you are new followers!
I’m James, I’ve been a guard at SWR for just over 6 months. Mainly working 455’s, of which I adore. With the odd Desiro squeezed in throughout the week!
If you ever see my out and about, please do come and say hello!

The whole run from Waterloo to Exeter was not the plan tonight!
Due to cancellations and a Do Not Travel, we decided to claim a refund and go to Exeter via Waterloo - then once we arrived at WAT all services where reinstated!
At least it’s a comfy diesel 🙂

A nice pair of 455’s for my Epsom round trip this evening, then back to a 450’for my last working.

Same job as yesterday, and one of my favourite runs done! A nice semi fast service up from Woking with this pair.

Got 701057 for the rest of my job today! Had a 455 to start, so no complaints here.

✅ Pula, Croatia 🇭🇷
A Jess Glynne filled outbound flight on Jet2, and a butter landing on a rather turbulent easyJet
A small, but beautiful place, that is still quite industrial with a large ship building facility!

There we have it, finally completed the NAN ‘Not A Number’ express down to Dorking! Forgot how busy this one is, even on a Monday 😬.

With my brain successfully frazzled, I am now trained on 701’s! Nice to get a trip down to Windsor as I don’t sign it. Although my assessment train to Hampton Court was chaos due to signalling issues!

So many photos taken in Budapest so far! But first of all here’s the cog railway, in all its glory! @skyehaynes.me

An increasing rarity on metro work now, compared to recent times is a 4 car! Was good fun taking it down to Chessy and back. Makes you think stopping in different places to usual, and good for the trainee driver!
