First time I’ve ever seen the Freightliner Heavy Haul Woking flow run as a double header! Does anyone know why it did today? 59205 + 59102 ‘Village of Chantry’ pass Brookwood working 6V22 - Woking Down Aggregate Yard (Flhh) to Merehead Quarry (Flhh). Tuesday 25th February 2025

Fantastic to see 465908 ‘Chris Green’ sporting its new (but also very old) spectacular NSE colours through Waterloo East earlier today. A lovely tribute from South Eastern to the Networkers that have been going strong around South-East London and Kent for many years.

All done with work, and it looks like a fine evening for some freight spotting! 450019 and 450076 prepare to depart Waterloo platform 12 to work 1T49 for Pompey. A rather poorly 458428 and 458427 sit on platform 13 having meant to have departed for Weybridge around 40 minute ago.

Time to begin a new week! This morning it’s 450010, 450060 and 450083 working 1A20 up from Alton to Waterloo. Much less choice for seats today due to it no longer being half term and the service before this (1A18) being caped.

Is it just me who really would like a game simulating an aggregates terminal? Loading/unloading trains etc... There's something about that I find really interesting...

450081 and 450007 arrive into Brookwood working 1A43 down to Alton. Time to head home and enjoy some fish and chips with the Grandad 😋

Nice short Friday today, but not a short consist by any means…. 450031, 450022 and 450027 prepare for their departure out of Waterloo to work 1A41 down to Alton.

444003 arrives into Aldershot working 1A24 up from Alton to Waterloo. Been a while since I traveled onboard 1A24, so nice to get it again this morning. Thankfully it’s being a Friday and a half term weeks means there’s plenty of choice for seats this morning.

Happy Monday all! 450083, 450120 and 450053 kick off my week working 1A20 up from Alton to Waterloo.

Does anyone know of any good ways to get allocations for Eurostar services? Trying to figure out what numbers worked what services on January 2nd 2025.

Unsurprisingly ended up missing 1A33, so half an hour and one step closer to the ice age later, 450100 ‘Transport Benevolent Fund CIO’ and 450074 arrived in from Alton ready to work 1A35 back.

My work here is done, so now it’s time to head back. Unfortunately, the train I had originally planned to catch, 1W67, hasn’t left Waterloo let which means I’m left with 1P35 to Guildford which gives me a generous +0 connection onto my 1A33.

Was planning to get 2F12 from here to Woking, but 1P14 is running around 10 minutes late meaning I could make it on this instead. 450020, 450049 and 450127 arrive into Guildford heading up for Waterloo.

It’s very early and very cold! 450063 and 450120 work this morning’s 1A14 up from Alton to Guildford.

My units from this morning have returned to take me home! 450059 and 450060 load up at Guildford ready to work 1A55 to Alton.

Back into familiar territory and now onboard the mega traction that is 458418 and 458425 as they prepare to work 2S49 to Weybridge via Hounslow. Will be on these for the full journey, so time to kick back and relax…

After a nice couple hours at Stratford International, we took a short trip onboard 395016 as it worked 1J41 to St Pancras, and coincidentally arrived alongside 395012 😍 Time to head back Underground now for the fabulous Victoria Line!

I’ve put it off long enough, but I’m finally trying these FLIRTy things! Anyone who knows me well will know I despise the design of these, but the interior makes up for it. 745003 prepares to depart Liverpool Street to work 1P28 to Norwich. Only onboard to Stratford though sadly.

Nice to see 153311 during its turnaround at Liverpool Street as it works test train circuit 2Q50 just now.

I’m in a bad place right now. Not mentally, just on the Central Line! Thankfully only one stop to Liverpool Street 😅

Time to head up the New Line now onboard 455706 and 455910 as they work 2G28 up to Waterloo via Cobham. This’ll be my first time doing this line in daylight, so I’ll actually be able to see some of it 😂

Time for my first trains of 2025 now, being 450060 and 450059 as they work 1A28 up from Alton to Guildford. Certainly strange seeing a 1A and an 8-car on the Aldershot-Guildford line, but it’s a necessity at the moment due to engineering works between Woking and Farnborough.

1A77 successfully overtaken at West Byfleet, and after a quick change of platforms I’m now boarding said 1A77 and my last trains of this long but very good day being 450026 and 450062. Thankfully have a bit of time to get ready for WWE #SNME when I get home too!

Made it back to Waterloo and just about missed the 23:24 Alton service by a few minutes, but not all hope is lost yet. Taking 450077 and 450079 to Woking as they work 2B77 to Eastleigh in order to try and overtake and catch 1A77 from there.

Decided to ditch the 350s at Rugby in favour of a Pendo to finish the night off as originally planned, and I’m certainly glad we made that choice. Even if it’s a bit later, I can now relax and have a seat on the way back to Euston. 😌 390138 arrives in working 1M18 from Glasgow.

Looks like getting home isn’t going to be as relaxed as first hoped. The 21:21 Avanti to Euston has been cancelled, and my backup plan of the 21:03 XC has also been cancelled, so LNR it is! I have the pleasure of sitting on the floor of 350261 as it works 2Y66 to London Euston.

Farewell Avanti Voyagers 🫡 221105 and 221106 depart Birmingham New Street working 5D38 to Barton Under Needwood. Had a fantastic time riding these around today, sad to see them go but glad they should still see a bright future with XC. Now to find my train home…

One last rodeo for the Avanti Voyagers! 221106 and 221105 prepare to depart Euston to work 9G38 up to Birmingham New Street. Really didn’t expect this many people to turn up, but nice to see Voyagers getting the love they deserve 🥰

Back on the Voyagers now! 221106 and 221105 arrive into Bangor working 1A64 from Holyhead down to Euston. Time to kick back and enjoy some more thrash for the next three or so hours!

Finally came here at long last! It’s a nice little place, some nice shops and food options available for a short visit. Now waiting for the train back to Bangor. And no, I can’t pronounce it 🤣

Let the Voyager thrashing begin! 221106 and 221105 prepare to depart Euston working 1D83 up to Holyhead. This is my first time on an Avanti Voyager and first impressions are very good despite it being their last day in service. On these all the way up to Bangor.

🥱 another early start, but unlike yesterday, a very long day to follow… 450041 and 450126 form this morning’s 1A18 from Alton up to Waterloo. Sadly on weekends it’s not fast from Woking to Waterloo 😢

Now time to head down South onboard 444022 and 444026 as they prepare to work 1W57 down to Weymouth. Originally had a pair of 450s for this but thanks to a last minute stock swap that’s no longer the case. Also now joined by @skyehaynes.me!

Good morning! Heading down to Southampton this morning for an apprentice team day. My day begins with 444002 and 444034 as they work 1A16 up to Waterloo. Wanted to get this service as by next week’s timetable change it’s going back to 450s which will be a shame.

Unfortunately I’ve now become ill overnight so won’t be heading into work today. Hopefully I’ll be better nice and quickly.

Made it back in the end, around 26 minutes late. 444019 will now continue to head down to Alton. Back again same time tomorrow, although hopefully remembering to take my phone out of the taxi with me 😂. Have a good evening all!

Some points at the London End of Aldershot have decided they don’t want to cooperate anymore. Wonder how long we’ll be…
