Very nice few days at the lovely @BucknellStation , my youngest observes 150235 leaving with the 04:48 from Carmarthen to Shrewsbury. Very few @transport_wales Active Travel 153s out this week. #class150 #HeartofWales
The final up service (2M10) draws to a stand at @BucknellStation conveying tail traffic too. 153303 with 153552 on the back. Plenty of accommodation for the passenger (yes just the one!) #heartofwalesline

Happy 150th birthday to the MARLOW DONKEY (local name for the Bourne End – Marlow branch) which opened 150yrs ago yesterday, 27 June 1873! Fun fact: The hotel used for Fawlty Towers’ exterior shots was at Bourne End. So I’ve remade “Gourmet Night” but as if Basil took the train…
Today, after thirty-two years campaigning, I joined @DavidHorne as @LNER did its validation run for a daily direct rail service between Market Rasen and London. Thank you to all whose efforts have made this possible.
