That’s my year 1 summary assessment complete and license renewed for another year. Crazy that I’ve been driving trains on my own for a whole year already. 1 down, 30 to go. 🥳 #DriverLife

They come round every 3-4 weeks for us in this link. Makes a nice change for a day or 2 but yes… line speed, please!

Good morning from Great Yarmouth. Had a lovely ECS run here today before heading back in service as 2P03 - 0612 GYM to NRW. Busy day ahead with a trip to Sheringham then Lowestoft, up the East Suffolk before a 100mph blast down the mainline. Have a good day all! #DriverLife

Nights. 745005 waits for its slot to head across to Crown Point. It’s in need for a bit of work so I’m popping it straight into the shed when I get over there. #DriverLife

What a difference a day makes. Same job as yesterday so, in a slight moment of de ja vu, I’m up the shunt neck. Aside from being bloody Baltic out there it’s nice to see the sun ☀️ #DriverLife

In the opening monologue of the first episode of Clarksons Farm he states this exact reason! Almost bragging about it 😂

Forgive me if I have no sympathy with those moaning about having to pay a tax that they should’ve been paying in the first place…

The lack of survival instinct possessed by pheasants is actually incredible. I’ve hit about thirty odd today! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Job 5 is the one you’re looking out for. You’ve never had it and I’ve got it two days in a row! 😂

Too productive some might say 😂

Just got back to Ipswich after doing 4 of the things and the next Felixstowe has been cancelled. Unbelievable!

The first of 4 trips to Felixstowe for me this evening. Followed by the last East Suffolk and a trip “across the top” empty. Enjoy your Saturday evening, whatever you’re up to! #DriverLife

I really enjoy them. Make a nice change to the day to day running jobs. Got this little gem off spare too.

Shed and Ferry shift for me this afternoon. Lots of shunting bits about between depot and station. Here I was walking through 745109, up the wash road, changing ends to get it into Crown Point. Always a little eerie with the lights off! #DriverLife

Ah, Bluesky breathes again!

I think it might crack 2m new users in 24hrs. No wonder it’s creaking!

We’re gonna need more seats! 🦋
