Another day today of taking a train to a place it won't usually go to! The best way to go to Skegness is clearly in your own private test train, right? 😁

My all time favourite via Corby working! 😁

Still the only 170 to go there post MML days.

And just like that we leave Sunny Skegvegas behind us. Barely enough time to do a gateline ticket check and for the driver to leg it to the loo. 😂

A nice morning to be heading towards the Benidorm of Lincolnshire. 😁

The weather has turned a bit miserable around Peterborough. Currently being chased to Werrington by the Jolly Joint Line Express.

This week I am mostly going East. East is best. 👌

I don't think I'll ever understand how the Anglia 170s have survived so many refurbishments and still have these ancient relics left behind.

After some behind the scenes suggestion to provide a local stopping service to the Hope Valley during a week long blockade I though I best go and see how it worked. A gentle stroll along the old railway from Bamford to Ladybower Dam for lunch and back again in utterly stunning surroundings.

Actually, here's another!

I'll give a hint though. 😂

As if going via Beighton during the dead of night wasn't enough. It's a pootle through Toton as well these days. 😕
