I filmed safely for two hours at Waterloo- outside the bollards at the old entrance and through a window in a café. Moment I stepped out onto the concourse to see if I could get some shots of the trains, was stopped by a security guard who deemed me a security risk and demanded to see my footage.

Here’s my densely packed timeline for a fifteen minute segment I’ve been editing all week. It’s long and mentally draining but it’s beautiful seeing my story come together, even better than I had envisioned it when I started the project in August. Whole film is probs 45mins.

15 minutes into the film edit… not bad at all!

Been editing with some breaks since 8:30 in the morning. Needless to say I’m so tired and dissatisfied with the amount of work I’ve managed to do today that I’ve written a mini checkbox-style to-do list on my desk’s headboard. Root for me please, editing is a difficult sport!

Haven’t been to a press event in ages! Been an exhausting two days at station #2589, many thanks to everyone who made this weekend so special :)

Managed to get my hands on some exclusive memorabilia! A station worker was changing the posters over to ‘Beaulieu Park now open’ and was going to throw these older posters in the recycling, so I cheekily asked if I could keep them for myself instead :)

Looking back through my 20hrs of footage I smiled at seeing the fantastic animation that was displayed on the exterior wall of Kings Cross station during the S&DR 200 celebrations. Really appreciate the effort put in!

The entire year has been building up to the S&DR anniversary celebration, and we’ve nearly made it! To anyone heading over to the Northeast this weekend, enjoy yourselves, and do come and say hi 👋 if you see me there!

Someone set up a petition for a bus stop bench at Ilford Hainault Street!

Twenty One Pilot's latest album #Breach has some incredible masterpieces in there- but there are a few songs which will have to grow on me. I know this isn't transport-related, but I've been a proud TØP listener since 2018, so for them to release their final lore-based album is an incredible moment.

Started filling this in, thinking... oh, this is so much easier than sending an email to Network Rail's press team. *Then* I scrolled further down and noticed the table of fees and costs for filming 🙄🤦
