Time to do a bit of driving in my own, now let’s see if I can find my way from Newcastle to Leeds.

To an extent, there is a limit of shunt near the tunnel on the Leeds bound platform.

And just like that, the semaphore has disappeared and the colour light signal has been commissioned.

The old signal and what looks like its replacement lying on the floor in Knaresborough.

I know, I’ve had a word with the driver who brought it in 🤦🏻😂 I couldn’t move it as it requires a dispatcher to move, even a few feet.

@timblazey.bsky.social blimey your on 1p04 again 😂

😂😂 we aim to please at York 😂

@timblazey.bsky.social your unit is on 3, all ready for you with headcode in 👍

@timblazey.bsky.social your unit is all ready and purring away on plat 3!

😂😂, brilliant!

I must have just missed you as I’ve just got to platform 5 to work the 0919.

😂

Is it not Wednesday? Or am I heading into work when I shouldn’t be 😂😂

When did you take this?

They stopped whilst Dewsbury was closed but back now as it’s normal TT.

Regular occurrence, a couple of times a day

Blue sky and a blue (silver and purple) train in sunny Scarborough.

I remember picking 108 up from the airport on its 1st day out and thinking the first class seats aren’t going to stay cream coloured for long on the south route 😂

Ahhhhh, I see. I think I’ve heard of it from when I signed it all those years ago 😂

Edale?

Shame I’m not working, I would have happily of given you a wake up call 😂😂

A day off from driving today has led me here. I must admit it does look good in the sun.

A Destination not normally seen on a 185, this was taken after terminating 60ish late at Stalybridge and then making the return journey east. It was swapped for an 802 at York.

Hold my beer! 😂

Even for me, it’s strange working in and out of 6 and 7

It’s a grey day and the wind is picking up, but here I am at @timblazey.bsky.social favourite signal!

The first Monday of the new TT sees me bringing the 0548 from York into the bay at Man Vic, to work the 0745 back as far as Leeds.

I should have blasted the horn 😂

I drove past you as you were leaving Leeds, I was heading into plat 16

What time did you come through Leeds?
