How should we wish each other well?

I started a thread on this a few days ago, and it's been moved to "Christmas 2018" for some reason (the reason given was "Already posted", but they missed the point of my question). So I'll have another go! Here's what I wrote, slightly amended to take anything Christmas-related out of it:

"How should I wish you all well? As a motorcyclist I would wish you dry twisties (i.e. a dry road surface with lots of great bends!), astronomers wish each other clear skies - what should we wish each other? A clear run of green lights? Non-slippery rails? Comfy seats?!"

Genuinely, and nothing to do with Christmas, how to rail folk wish each other well? Do we have an equivalent of "dry twisties" or "clear skies"? If not, let's think one up!

A pleasant journey.

It’s pleasant, but also ambiguous enough to cater for the niches of the hobby.

French train drivers say "bon rail" ((I wish you) good rails), which is the railway equivalent of "bonne route" ((I wish you) good roads).

Railwaymen on here will recognise “mind how you go”. True on so many levels.

That reminded me of "Cool Runnings", which they translated (in the film) as "Peace be the journey". Nice.
