Arrivals and departures: As we prepared the 14:31 to Paris, our colleague Frank arrived from Brussels working his last train after 32 years with eurostar. The cheers and whistles carried across to our platform and were a joy to hear.

Happy Retirement Frank!

This is the Thames Tunnel in London,by Brunel, a beautiful tunnel. It had shops down here before the railway, taken on a tour during maintenance on the line.

One from my Class 68 driving days. Do miss driving these, they were certainly different and probably the only time I'd get to drive a proper loco hauled set. Anyway here it is at York station. #york #yorkshire #railway #railwayfamily #trains #photography #streetphotography #ricohgriii #ricoh

A bit of retro 225 photography this morning. These locos are getting less and less frequent but if you get chance to go on one on the ECML then do as they are very comfortable. Took this with my #ricoh GRiii. #york #railway @225group.org.uk #photography #railwayfamily

One of my favourite photos of Platform 5 at York, like the way the Azuma is just peaking through the arches between Platform 9 and Platform 5.

Always a great angle this one, went for a moody type of edit of this @lner.co.uk #azuma at Leeds station. I never get bored looking at that Owl!

A bit of retro goodness, gone for a moody feel on this one to mimic the retro feel I was going for.

Who knows where these will end up after their short time at TPE. It was an interesting experience to drive these for 5 years whilst at TPE. There are rumours they are going to Chiltern but who knows? 🤷‍♂️

One of my favourite photos from Leeds station, also from warmer times. Really like the striking red of the @lnerail.bsky.social 225 basking in the sunshine. Hows your day gone? #leeds #yorkshire #railway #railwayfamily #trains #photography #streetphotography @225group.org.uk @huaweiblog.bsky.social
