As expected, been way too busy to update this with all my journeys! However I will be on the 2121 from Purley to London Bridge for the insect leap to Purley Oaks!

A frightfully busy 3 days, so many trains I've been on! Now in the front coach of 350120 on 1449 London Euston-Birmingham New Street. Feel free to come and find me in my navy shirt if you're on it, I'll be on it all the way :)

Did anyone ever come by and say hello on any of the trains you were on?

Was the Wembley - Harrow Track Circuit Failure that pushed me onto the met though, not an LUL stick breakage...

Ah right, loads of issues down London today, and on the West Coastway. Seemed to be less problems at the weekend than there was today!

Nope, although I find that less than surprising.

The 2029 Blackpool North to York, just boarded at Bradford Interchange for Leeds. Very good to be on a through train again!

Well if I ever post between 0745-0800 and 1600-1630 then I will most likely be on a train, but that's unlikely since it requires mobile data.

Dear me. Purley oaks to Purley oaks in 13 hours without a break in between? Unless I read it wrong. A marathon? I would be knackered!

There was a short break at Elm Park to stock up on supplies, and another at Homerton for tea, but otherwise most of it was constantly on the move or at stations.

Should have seen my ALR moves, they were probably just as bad!

Currently on 175104 working the 0721 Cardiff Central to Holyhead. If you're on it before Chester, come say hi!

Should next be on 1031 Chester to Liverpool Lime Street all the way :)

I'm on the 1545 Paddington to Swansea at the moment which is being lead by 43188. The only two seats left were ones with a wall for a window which annoys me!!

Sadly I couldn't find this thread when I wanted it earlier, but me and starmill got something of a surprise when waiting at Moorthorpe this afternoon for the York train at 14:02, and it turned up as 158848! Luxury for trip to Ulleskelf via Pontefract Baghill!

Morning all. First train trip in a few months. On an unidentified 158 forming the slightly delayed 0955 Swansea - Manchester Piccadilly. (0804 ex Fishguard Harbour).

Forgot to get the number in anger of a 158 vice 175.

EDIT: 158828 :)
