The conductor on the 3.15 Wolverhampton to Paignton that turned unexpectedly into a 6.25 Cheltenham to Newcastle train thanks to flooding deserves some @crosscountryuk.bsky.social recognition. Looked after everyone with enormous care in difficult conditions - way above what you’d expect.

Visited the Salvation Army in Torquay to hear about their Christmas Toy Appeal. Last year they helped 260 children in Torbay. Donate a toy by Dec 5 or give online by searching Torquay or Paignton. Thanks to Matthew and volunteers for spreading joy. www.salvationarmy.org.uk

I visited "Forever Young" record store in Torbay Road, Paignton. I had only ever gone by when it was closed and totally underestimated the size and scope. CDs, Vinyl, cassets, DVDs, audio books etc. I came away with these two.

Day 5: song that reminds me of a holiday

In 1977 I saw Tommy Steele at the Paignton Theatre in Devon. He sat on the edge of the stage and sang Little White Bull.

Celebrating the 200th anniversary(!) of the world's first railway, the Stockton & Darlington Railway, last Saturday. This is a shot of a locomotive on the Dartmouth Steam Railway in the station in Paignton, Devon.

It's like the time I did careers advice in Paignton and like half the class wanted to be professional footballers and the other half wanted to be YouTubers. That's the modern Conservative Party.

A commission of a vintage-style railway poster featuring Duck on the Dartmouth steam railway! He enjoyed his summer visit pulling GWR railtours 😁

The client ordered a physical print for a private gift, but I'm able to share the artwork with you all 🙂

There was one branch off the Paignton to Kingswear line, that from Churston to Brixham. Just over 2 miles in length, it opened as a broad gauge line in 1868 and closed in 1963. On 29 April 1958, a very clean No 1472 leaves Brixham propelling its single Autocoach towards Churston.

Devon MP Steve Darling is urging ministers to act as Paignton Zoo, Dartmoor Zoo & Plymouth’s National Marine Aquarium face a “perfect storm” of post-Brexit red tape, rising costs & falling visitor spend. He wants an urgent summit to save Britain’s zoos & aquariums.

It is simply very funny that Travelodge are sending out emails that ask if we are “Excited to get away but not sure where to go” and one of the options they’ve come up with is Slough. Slough!

It was found in Paignton. Rescuers refloated it in Torquay, but sadly it died shortly afterwards
