/1 Come to work with me for a Saturday early shift! #TrainDriver #FemaleTrainDriver #DayInTheLife #WomenInRail #Railway

A sunny start to the day with an empty stock run to Wolverhampton from Soho depot. I’m in control of 730023 until 9.15 as I now shuffle back & forth between Wolves & Walsall! Time to get the show on the rails! #DayInTheLife #TrainDriver #FemaleTrainDriver

1/ Friday’s shift was spent driving in the rain… absolutely non-stop. Naturally this does cause some issues with the infrastructure.
I began with a B’ham Intl / Rugeley & even though it was only mid-morning I could see the beginnings of flood water.

Saturdays Spare shift began slowly but then after an emergency incident at noon I got utilised & also stopped over for an extra drive.

Tuesday was ‘Groundhog Day’ for me with a repeat of Mondays shift. An uneventful shift (as we like it) and pleasant driving.
I’m split week, so I’ve the next 2 days off.

Sunday was an afternoon standby shift. Given work solely on the South Cross City with a Bromsgrove & 2x Redditch. I got finished a bit earlier which was nice and the last train I worked was also my train home. Bonus!

I’m split week this week and so this is my final shift of this year.

And it’s a Spare shift. I’m on duty until 01.15 and waiting for be hollered over the PA and given something to do.

It’s not my most favourite kind of shift!
