At work on a Sunday (again), third one in a row. Eased in from NCL-ASL, pretty busy on return. Jam packed from NCL-CAR and now more of the same CAR-NCL. Lots of luggage Jenga to keep aisle and doors clear, tickets all done and correct as I approach HWH. Champion

Saturday SPT 0504-1447 Was always going to be some work on the cards 😅 ASST 1041 NCL-MBR as well as what I’m in charge of. Expecting that 1232 to be quite cosy later due to no ECML DAR-NCL for engineering 😬 Have a good Saturday everyone!

Working hard for my pay today! Northumberland, Tyneside, Teeside, Co Durham and N Yorkshire all included. Latte already drank and away I go for a few hours down to Saltburn by the sea. Start of the weekend for most, enjoy!

Morning essentials, latte, headphones to get through some podcasts (toolroom radio the current one) and a relaxed 31 minutes on board @lner.co.uk to DAR before getting into it with 2U08 and 2 trips to NNT today. Lots of Durham coast and a bit of North Yorkshire. Hope you all have a great day!

Why was the last train cancelled? There wasn’t a guard, please accept my apologies. Do none of you lazy f****s do overtime?! Yes, every single one of us that’s working today. Oh f**k off, smart arse! 🤦🏻‍♂️ #railway #conductor #customerservice

I like this, however more emphasis needs to be placed on ‘the train pulls away from the platform at” rather than people thinking “I can board until” The amount of late runners screaming obscenities at a slowly accelerating train is crazy. Please just try to arrive in plenty of time 🙂

Nice day off yesterday and a trip to the #YorkIceTrail Of course there would be trains involved as part of the 32 exhibits featuring Mallard, Grand Central and one reminiscent of Flying Scotsman! Impressive work citywide and very busy too. Shame about the 0415 alarm today 😅
