Does anyone know the identities of the two (4 half sets) unrefurbished class 373 Eurostars in Temple Mills Depot? One pair is split in half the other is complete and has 3216 at the south end (I think it's hard to read)
A pair of half sets parked in the non-elec roads The other end of this pair is 3216 I think The south end of the previous pic, I believe this is 3216

New station ticked off! Very windy and quite loud with the main road next door but otherwise a nice station. A surprisingly large number of bins though......

📍Beaulieu Park ✅
Beaulieu Park station, three wide platforms with large canopies 720 558 stops at the station on the down line. Station canopy and footbridge behind Due to late running 720 137 uses the centre platform so a nonstop train can overtake on the up line Every other column on all platforms had three bins, there must have been around 60 bins in all!

One train to Oxford in the morning and one train back in the afternoon

Some (big) little steam trains at Porthmadog Harbour. The WHR locos are almost as big as standard gauge locos!
WHR loco about to head across the Cob to Boston Lodge Not the prettiest loco ever... A WHR loco with its flat front Ffestiniog loco in the platform with the station building behind, looking comparatively smaller than the WHR ones Ffestiniog loco Linda in the yard trying to hide in a smoke screen

Does anyone know the number of this shunter? It was parked up at Buckfastleigh on the South Devon Railway, but had no visable ID. Looking online there is apparently a class 09 here but all pictures I can find of it are in green

Given the way things are going here in the UK, it's more important than ever that LGBTQ+ people and allies are visible, and loudly & proudly support LGBTQ+ causes and people.

Join protests where you can.
Write to your MP.
Support each other.

Rural transport doesn't need innovation: it needs buses, properly integrated and proudly delivered, like in Switzerland.

My blog describes my experience staying in a village of 475 people with a half-hourly bus service all day, every day.

We could do that!
