Hey mum, it's my first day on the railways, I hope you're proud of me! 💜 When I started this account in 2018, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I grew up. Fast forward to just shy of 6 years later, here I am! Here's to Day 1 of my, hopefully, long and successful career!
“We went to Waterloo - there’s more to do!” Featured in @RAILwayMagazine, @RAILexpress, @RAIL, @RAILwaysillus and more, 4VEP 3417’s restoration appeal stands just shy of £10,000; not bad for a 4-car EMU! Can you support the SETG…? gofund.me/34cccdb9
March 30th is a day I've always struggled with. Today is 6 years since my mum passed away. I just wonder what she'd be thinking of my move and upcoming job. I miss you mum, hope you're proud of me from up above. I just wished you were by still by my side 💜
It’s the time of year we’ve all been waiting for when the heritage railways across the country start springing back into life 🚂 Who’s enjoying watching the cameras today? Which ones have you been watching? @WSomRailway @WorthValley @SwanRailway @LlangollenRail
It has to be said, this pair is a nice looking combination. @SwanRailway @bluebellrailway
Good to see @SwanRailway on Great British Railway Journeys this evening.
@SwanRailway I used to do that when visiting Swanage in steam hauled days in the early 1960’s…..
A little bit of work for our chums looking after the @SwanRailway 4TC unit…
The Steam Railway Magazine Readers Award is heading to Swanage - the restoration of T3 No. 563 takes the title.
Enchanting all ages: LSWR T3 catches the attention of familes at Corfe on January 7 during the @SwanRailway Winter Warm Up gala.
Thank you Tim. You were most welcome.
CLUNK. Why did @LondonWaterloo host this rare BR slam-door electric train survivor on Saturday? @Gordon_3417 is being restored beautifully by volunteers as a piece of commuting history, and they need our support. New video, inc @DriverPotter interview:
Some excellent progress on the club layout, this station building is modelled on @SwanRailway Swanage station building
@SwanageAnon Hi Jordan. Why are you negative about SF? We are both similar ages and both joined from Sygnets. I have thoroughly enjoyed my 7 years of progression, please do not make out that your situation is down to a “toxic atmosphere” at a railway you haven’t been involved in for years.
Recreated several times in recent years at the present day @SwanRailway - it's been one of the little set pieces I like working into gala diagrams.
M7 No 30057 and U No 31611 make an impressive sight and must have sounded equally impressive, as they leave Swanage on 29 August 1956 with a service for Basingstoke.
Is it too early for more 563 posts? Through the round window... @SwanRailway
Yesterday we visited @SwanRailway to speak to our friends who are restoring a 4TC unit (a relative of 3427, but designed for push-pull work with another unit or locomotive - the TC has no motors). Looks like we are going to have a little contract work for the Trim Shop!
