I thought it was an episode of Pointless. Probably going to be on some obscure channel.

I wouldn't want to go uphill with that. Another set had no air conditioning. Still same old but when they behave we still love them. Returning south from Edinburgh at 1830.

@j1drvr.bsky.social Good afternoon from the fair city of Perth, don't you just hate it when your HST goes dead? Inverness to Perth with one power car.

Looked a bit Balamory to me but I know that's not from there. We are actually busy, the 1234 ex Wick was cancelled, a Wick crew so the last northbound won't run. Next stop Helmsdale.

It's another way of life up here, I'm right by the sea at Helmsdale, looking forward to getting off at Thurso and doing John O'Groats.

@j1drvr.bsky.social Here we are at Lairg where we swap crews but an Inverness based DTM is remaining in the seat, the Wick driver is chilling on the cushions for now.

Good morning, the one on the right is my steed for the next 4 hours. We swap crews at Lairg.

@steelcitydoggo.bsky.social 155345 is on it's way to Sheffield. It will do the 1757 Sheffield to Scarborough.

Lots to do between Bishop and Darlington especially.

And I've only paid ยฃ41 for all fares south of Berwick. I think people may have been put off on the Sunday by a diversion down the Durham Coast.

True, the hotel was cheap. 3 nights in Inverness for ยฃ104. It's room only but Morrisons (my employer) have a huge store across the way so breakfast will be had there. Not just doing HSTs. On Saturday I will chase 37403 and 401 on a railtour. Friday I'm off to John O'Groats.

No, not recently. I might get to Manchester or Crewe at the end of the month though. I start a Spirit Of Scotland tomorrow.

Nice shot, apparently they don't use the MML juice and are diesel all the way. My highlight in a week's time doesn't need juice #inter7city

She released two songs last year but neither did well in the UK. They are worth a listen because of their retro vibe. Back To Your Heart and Hearts On The Run.

I've got 4 gigs booked but my tickets aren't that dear but if I meet Delta Goodrem, it will be ยฃ154, she's not young, she's Una's age.

Same with me really but I couldn't ignore Mollie in Hull or Frankie in Leeds in 2019. I'm seeing Delta Goodrem in London in May and am seriously considering M&G. Another 90s act I never got round to seeing.

The two women I mentioned are very long term followers, approximately 12 years each. That shows how bright they are and understood why I became a fan and knew, as you do, that I was actually quite respectful by sticking to official M&G.
