I'm a train driver on the beautiful South Coast of England. All views are my own and all pictures are taken from a position of safety.
I enjoy walking, reading and cats.

Made it to Southampton this time. And I've got a 387300 series. I think this is it's first day of service for Southern. White train with blue doors!
