Yes, currently on the way to Zagreb, having been to Romania in the meantime...
I'm off back home on Thursday morning (flight from Venice)

You'd have had a job seeing me onboard given I'm currently in Ireland!

Yes.... it's amazing who you bump into on an All-Line Rover!
Walking through Leeds station after Light Night, I heard my name, only to turn round and see it was @stuartmoss and his wife!

Nothing in this post states that the unexpected and random encounter has to be in a physical, real-world location! Right?
I encountered @TT-ONR-NRN at the top of my TikTok feed this evening
(albeit not entirely unexpected with the number of train ’memes’ that I bookmark).

I just bumped into @Peterthegreat on the footbridge at Swinton (South Yorkshire) to view the Vintage Trains Castle Class railtour.
Last week I unexpectedly met a forum member at a football game, who did various forum events, including walks, meals etc about 10 years ago, though I had seen him more recently on trains he was working since then. I won't say his username because I don't want to divulge too much but good to see he has now made it as a driver.
It can be quite a surprise to see people completely unexpectedly out of context! It's surprising enough when seeing people at stations or on trains, but even more so in completely unrelated settings.

Not sure if he's a forum member, but I met "@geofftech" on the first day of Class 710 operation back in 2019. And again today on the first day of Class 810 operation. If there is ever a class 910, or 610, maybe we'll meet again

It has been alleged that the Class 455s were, at one point, to be known as Class 510. You’ll have to keep an eye out for him at Waterloo or Guildford this Sunday!

Just seen @J.C. on the train between Halifax and Hebden Bridge.
And very good it was to see you too!
After missing a connection at Paddington last weekend and having to then loiter around, I waved a brief hello to @ainsworth74 and @yorkie as they passed through the station.
You go for months without being featured and then twice in almost as many days! Today I bumped into @Segedunum on a train from Darlington heading south.

@KT550 - were you one of the three blokes I was talking to at Harrow and Wealdstone while waiting for 730 206 + 730 236 on the 12.53 this afternoon? I recall one of them saying they were going after 701 002 afterwards...
