Very nice few days at the lovely @BucknellStation , my youngest observes 150235 leaving with the 04:48 from Carmarthen to Shrewsbury. Very few @transport_wales Active Travel 153s out this week. #class150 #HeartofWales

The final up service (2M10) draws to a stand at @BucknellStation conveying tail traffic too. 153303 with 153552 on the back. Plenty of accommodation for the passenger (yes just the one!) #heartofwalesline

The Sugar Loaf incident... Passenger waiting for the down railcar some years ago, driver so surprised he overshot! Changed ends, back into station and elderly lady loaded up with much merriment! The bucoloic branch line at its best! #Sugarloafhalt #Wales

Happy 150th birthday to the MARLOW DONKEY (local name for the Bourne End – Marlow branch) which opened 150yrs ago yesterday, 27 June 1873! Fun fact: The hotel used for Fawlty Towers’ exterior shots was at Bourne End. So I’ve remade “Gourmet Night” but as if Basil took the train…

Today, after thirty-two years campaigning, I joined @davidhorne as @LNER did its validation run for a daily direct rail service between Market Rasen and London. Thank you to all whose efforts have made this possible.
