Thinking back on the day, I recall seeing a trainspotter standing at your end of that platform from the train window of my train from Ilkley - quite possibly your good self. “You can run, but you can’t hide”

Keep up the great photography

We are getting closer to meeting in person - I was at the far end of this same platform boarding my train back to York when 70005 slowed to a stop

Version 1.4.0 includes some big updates.

I have been working hard behind the scenes on some new features for Headcode.

Some of which I am really excited about.

Keep your eyes peeled on our social media for news on when this version is released.

Small world - I was stood on platform 5 whilst this photograph was being taken after arriving from Scarborough and waiting for my onwards train

For me it would be both a backup and a sync feature. Due to some post op paralysis in my hand following surgery on the vertebrae in my neck, I find it difficult to accurately type on an iPhone keypad - especially at pace. Instead, I could correct my errors in the App on my iPad rather than via CSVs

Hi Rich
Whilst the ability to export a CSV from the App is good (in my case to my iCloud) it would be great if the App and the data could also be saved automatically to the iCloud

Typo wasn’t the best description, more that ‘Grand Central’ is/was a missing operator entry

Blimey, that was quick and does exactly what it says on the tin

Thank you so much for considering my suggestion

That’s the idea in a nutshell, hopefully you can work some magic within the App

Thanks for looking into the idea

Thanks for getting back to me

Whilst the information on rides is stored in the App and easily identifiable in the CSV export, there is no easy way to see rides within the ‘My Spots’ list apart from adding a note. I’m just wondering if a more automated marker would be possible

Keep up the good work

For me, it is their best album - “no ifs, no buts, no coconuts”

Here’s my 03 renumbered to match the one at the heritage railway where I volunteer

The log book of the full size loco shows it sometimes went from Newcastle up to Berwick-upon-Tweed: not the comfiest of rides at a maximum of 35mph

@headcode.app - I’ve tried to contact you via your website, but didn’t receive a confirmation email (not in my junk) to advise of a typo (should be Grand Central) and to request an enhancement so that rides are somehow marked in ‘My Logs’ within your excellent App

I’ve added your blogs to my RSS feeds App - so I now have 25 of your blogs to catch up on

But what if there was a Greggs sausage roll in each cab? Would you be up before 11am then?

Indeed they do, and now they also have two shops with a 24 hour licence (close to Central Station)

Did you go to the drive-through Greggs for your sausage roll supplies?

The original version is my go to album on the 21st December

#BarterBooks in the old Alnwick railway terminus station has a high level model railway running above some of the book stands. Well worth a visit when you venture further north because the cafe might be selling stotties or ‘singing hinnies’ (griddled scones)

Look at the pantographs on them!!

@trainlogger.co.uk - your website solution is so much better than my good linked spreadsheets and pivot tables. Now I just need to update my online account with previous sightings and previous trips

Fortunately I have some downtime from next week whilst recovering from surgery - hey ho!

Whatever it was supposed to be on the return to NCL - a wait of over two hour at Ice Station Carlisle was blinking cold

The only good things about the initial delay to the 10:33 (if only):

1) it gave me time for some retail therapy in a CAR based model shop, and
2) a good chat to a GBRf driver

I was on the delayed 05:53 train from Preston to Carlisle, the delay caused by a failed Northern train at Hellifield

I was due to be on the cancelled 09:33 from CAR to NCL, so ended up on the same train back as you - at least they turned it into a 4 carriage nonstop express service

I’m impressed by them too and have a series of three on one long straight - they look superb in the dark changing in sequence firstly on the signal and then by each signal as the train has moved along the track

Much of that information is already scattered across the Internet on different websites and formats (e.g. html and PDF) ; so bringing it together sounds like a plan

If you can also include details of steam and diesel galas - then that would be the cherry on top of the icing on top of the cake

I too miss #TMRGUK and especially the epic layout by Matty Midland in his cellar. But with his layout being used for occasional promotional videos by #RailsOfSheffield - then I can see it now and then

Hopefully #BSMRGUK will grow over time

I got rid of Facebook, Twitter, and Masterdon a few years ago for various reasons - bored, toxic, and numpties in that order

This leaves BlueSky as my only social media account, and no one can DM me because I’m not going to prove I turned eighteen along time ago

Sorry to hear this news
One small blessing is that your Dad is now not suffering from dementia, but it doesn’t make it any easier for the family

The record player in the sixth form common room provided by introduction to this album - Working Man is my favourite track

Fingers crossed their tour comes here in 2026

My friend’s father was a P-51 Mustang pilot in the RAF. In 1944 he parachuted to the ground after his aircraft was disabled, he was captured, and survived the forced westward long march in 1945

I have seen his log book and his Caterpillar Club pin badge - priceless memories
