I love you, I love you, I love you - the best job in the whole world 💖
Back in August 2021 on the Avonmouth-Clitheroe cement tanks at Whalley 🙂
One of the most brilliant women on the railway, and I’m proud to call her my dearest friend. I am so so in awe of everyone involved with the Inspiration Train, but especially so of our beautiful @Kazza_belle and her superb boy 🥰
Today was a very proud day for me! I finally got to check out the @railway200 Inspiration train! As part of the steering group and then being filmed for the careers carriage I've been involved with the project for a while and seeing it come together was epic! Well done all 🥰

Couldn't decide which of these 3 photos I liked the most. So I'll let you choose. #Team70 70020 Tango Orange basking in glorious sunshine at Maritime today. Soon after, being joined by 66419 "Lionesses' Roar".
Not one for sharing personal achievements but this month my photos around depot were used for the works monthly Newsletter! Nice to have a small showcase hopefully it will lead to a wider audience.
Was SO lovely to finally meet SWR’s sweetheart 😁 thank you for talking early morning nonsense with me! 💖
Lovely weather to start the day off… Taxi to Southampton with my guard then had a lovely suprise finally meeting @bessbbe 👋🙏! Nice to finally meet you 🤗. Taking 066 & 120 the long way round to London from Southampton this morning via Havant.

A very nice day using #VolunteerLeave to host guests onto the #Railway200 #InspirationTrain also featuring some lovely @GBRailfreight locomotives, @ClanLine28 & a whole bit about careers #FreightManager #Rail200 #FreightIsGreat
I can’t believe I have been nominated, let alone shortlisted, for a National Rail Award for Outstanding Personal Contribution. It only feels like yesterday that @S26PHY and I watched our friend @birdsnestsblog win the same award in 2022. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💖
A brilliant afternoon thanks to @GBRailfreight with the launch of the Class 99, a very exciting prospect for the future rail and freight #RailFreight #GBRf #Class99
As a livery nerd, the blue and gold is totally gorgeous and seeing this come to life over the last year or so and the effort that has gone into making it is genuinely a pleasure to report on... What freight needs is backing and backing quickly...
