Morning from Crewe 💪

Saw an interesting LS move on RTT so decided to travel back via Crewe. 👀

Unfortunately not 57003 which I require a snap off but I'll take a loco all day long 📸

Year In Review 2024: August Pt 1✨

Saw me chase LSLs crazy tour with so much different traction, saw the DATS 2.0 & visited the infamous Stonehouse 😂

Woah DOTS has returned from his Social Media Slumber 💤

And what a way to return with the fabulous 45118 at Wolverhampton waiting for the signal to power towards Crewe👏
