Currently on a train still branded as the “Gatwick Express”. It no longer runs to Gatwick from Southampton, it now calls at every single station en route to Brighton. Yiu need to changetrains to go to the airport now. So: not Gatwick, and not an Express. Bravo to all for this.

What a superb weekend at the Cardiff Model Railway Exhibition! The 2025 show at Sophia Gardens was better than ever with a fantastic variety of layouts—tiny narrow gauge to mainline giants. Huge thanks to the amazing organisers for being so accommodating and kind! 🚂💨 #ModelTrains #UKRail

So, train delayed because there is confusion about whether the 15.15 is the 15.35 … existential confusion as delay … a new one for me on our ‘magnificent’ rail system. And I think we’re about 10mins out from ‘your train is cancelled on grounds of catastrophic ontological bewilderment.’ #UKRail

Paddington is much fancier, but the view out of Charing Cross over the Thames is a much more impressive view

🚨 NEW VIDEO🚨
The Abbey Line in Hertfordshire was meant to close decades ago.

Instead, it’s still going — and somehow feels like it shouldn’t exist in 2025.

I travelled the line see how this line refused to die and why its special

🚆 Imagine your local station only getting ONE train a week.

That's exactly what happens at Denton and Reddish South!

I travelled on one of Britain's rarest railway services to discover why it still exists.

Rails vibrate, diesel engine rumbles, to reveal double-headed special, Derby to Penzance, with heritage class 37s (gloss black with red & white lining), and lots of coaches, chocolate & cream Pullman and blood & custard BR ones! This makes me one very happy balcony sitter! #UKRail #Heritage #Saltash
