#rail200 #keeplancinglovely Since 2018, Keep Lancing Lovely have been station partners at Lancing station. Today some of us travelled on the train to Worthing and visited the Inspiration Train.
This exhibition train has been travelling the length and breadth of Britain over the last year
Was definitely cool to experience, even if it was a bit crowded at times.

I tried to capture as much as possible from the train and the various experiences inside.

Nothing like a bit of ‘Inspiration’ in the morning and little can inspire more than the legend of Karen Harrison. Puts me in the right frame of mind for the last day of my 4-day training course in good ol’ Swindon

Article... In conjunction with Railway 200 we are bringing together a unique railway exhibition at Currie Library celebrating the history of the former branch line known as the Balerno Loop which was part of the Caledonian Railway. It will focus on the former stations Balerno, Currie, Juniper Green and Colinton as well as the mills which formed part of this historic railway branch. We will also be hosting a special talk by the Colinton Tunnel organisation – Scotland’s largest historical mural. You will learn about the people who helped build these communities through the railway in a golden era of steam and engineering. We will showcase digital displays, working models and interesting topics on local history whilst celebrating 200 years of railways within the UK. The exhibition will take place within Currie Library – 210 Lanark Road West, Currie, Edinburgh from Thursday 6th November to Wednesday 3rd December 2025. Opening times Monday and Wednesday 1pm – 8pm , Tuesday Thursday Friday and Saturday 10pm-5pm. This free exhibition is aimed at anyone who has an interest in railway history and how railways helped build local communities in a bye gone era. It will also feature an extensive collection of books about railways past present and future which can be borrowed through a library membership.

#Rail200 keeps giving... I'm at Keighley to see "Inspiration Train" and the fabulous Worth Valley Railway.
Steam, diesel & DMU trains & a look through 200 years of rail history on platform 3.
Elsie Winterton was one of railway's early #WomenInEngineering working in Reading’s signal dept. in 1915. She was also the first woman member of the #IRSE in 1923.
This year she’s being honoured with a special blue plaque as part of #Rail200 ➡️ buff.ly/jFWiXhh

Me standing against the exposed coupler of standard driving car of future EMR 810022 inside the Hitachi Rails Newton Aycliffe plant on their open day for Rail 200.
Two class 810 driving vehicles for East Midlands Railway in various stages of fitting out inside the Hitachi Rails Newton Aycliffe plant on their open day for Rail 200.

The replica ‘Locomotion No. 1’ with its replica coal wagons and passenger ‘coach’ between doing journeys along the test line at the Hitachi Rails Newton Aycliffe plant on their open day for Rail 200.
Had a great time yesterday at the Hitachi Newton Aycliffe plant open day for #Rail200.
Getting the chance to see the production process of the EMR 810s, from the start to finish, check out the standard interior of 810022, plus having a ride behind the replica of ‘Locomotion No. 1’. 🚂 ➡️ 🚄
Now it's off to go and get this all edited and uploaded to my YouTube Channel.

This is one filming event that I really tried to push myself with, to see how many trains I could really run on this layout in 1 day.
