Today I'm travelling on the Neilston Branch Line of the Cathcart Circle Line and got to say... impressive little gem!
But also want to see why Neilston is a unusual terminus

After a 3 month unexpected break on SimOnTrains Rail Movements. A new video has gone up as we go to Hessle back in 2018 when Pacer Trains were still around

π The Anagram Mystery of Two Railway Stations.
Is this a perfect mirror image or a geographical fluke? Iβm taking a cross-country journey to investigate why this pair is so "surprisingly controversial."

This Sunday, I'm travelling between two Stations as they have one thing in common. The Railway Stations names are Anagrams of each other but think this one is the most controversial one!
Video be out at 4:45pm
Sometimes when you filming a clip... you don't know what happens behind you lol
This is for a upcoming video which is going out on Sunday
I went to Birmingham today to ride the West Midlands Metro's newest extension, the Eastside Extension. They pulled a peaky blinder to get this opened for Easter!
Iβm riding the new tram line to check out the stops at Albert St and Millennium Point.

Today, I've been on the West Midlands Metro Eastside Extension.

Iβm back on the Northumberland Line to visit the final stations and explore the history of the old Blyth & Tyne.
See what the finished line looks like from Ashington to Newcastle 60 years after it closed. Watch the full journey here: youtu.be/tbS9d23p3eE
π¨ New Video Alert! π¨
I'm revisiting the Northumberland Line to celebrate the opening of its final station: Bedlington!
I also explore the remaining stations on the line, and see how this "roaring success" of a project is looking now that it's finished.

Back home after a 9 day trip. Visited Scotland for a week, which included Model Rail Scotland and the newest station of the Northumberland Line.

Congrats π
This morning, I've been to Darlaston and Willenhall. I am really impressed with these stations.
I've been to New stations in my time but these have to be planned perfectly
I must had done the first one when there was no Internet but kept loading so discard the first one and made a new one lol
Just notice that I've posted the same thing twice π
I thought the 1st post didn't go through which is why I posted the second one
The video will be up on Sunday, it be soon, however the other stations I will be there on the opening day
I not at Darlaston and Willenhall this morning or today as life got in the way. I took this photo before I caught my bus to work.
After today I'm on holiday till the 1st April. So, I will be visiting those stations as soon as possible.
But anyone who has been or is going today has a good time.

Suprised that Darlaston and Willenhall are opening before Bedlington and the Camp Hill Stations. There was a rumor date for the Camp Hill Stations to be open today but that got debunked quick.
Shall be there next Saturday π

I took a journey to find Staffordshire Northernmost Disused Station on the West Coast Main Line, found the one that people may think and found the real one!
See the hunt here: youtu.be/9k0veR1BdbA
Think it just the platform buy overgrown
It's been a while since I've visited some disused stations. These are South of Crewe, heading towards Stafford on the WCML.
Betley Road (1875 to 1945)
Madeley (1837 to 1952)
Both can be accessed by D&G bus 85 which runs between Nantwich and Newcastle-under-Lyme
Can't disagree about the legroom, it's awesome
