Hi everyone!
You may have noticed I've been rather quiet recently. The reason for this is that I'm finally at university! (And therefore have a lot less time to go out for trains)
However, yesterday, I was able to go up to Carlisle to see the Northern Belle (steam hauled by 45212 this time) in all its glory.
Here are some photos from the day, as well as a link to the video if you've not seen it already! I'd appreciate it if you checked it out!
As always, thanks for the support!
Cheers, Lucas.

Hi all!
The poll I posted a few days ago has decided I will be showcasing Train Sim World 5 during my next livestream.
This will take place on Monday from 6pm. It'll focus on the WCML route, with a heavier focus on the included motive power.
I hope to see you all there!

Hi everyone!
How are we all?
I'm considering doing one or two live streams to finish off properly as I'm heading off to uni at the end of this month, and therefore definitely won't have much spare time to out into the channel! You may have noticed there has been a lot more virtual content uploaded than usual. The excuse I've got is there's really nothing worth going out to see anymore. However, when I'm up in Lancaster, I'm very close to a certain 'Carnforth', which will definitely be interesting 😁.
Anyways, back to the point. Would you all be interested in a Train Sim World 5 stream once I've fully installed it and early access has begun or would you rather a weekend stream of Train Sim Classic, where I will likely be doing some route building?
Let me know in the poll down below!
Hope to see some of you there!

Hi all!
70000 'Britannia' came my way today, and stopped at Rugby for 20 minutes!
She then departed in her usual majestic way.
Make sure to check the video below out!
You really won't regret it!

Hi all!
I know I've not been uploading at all recently, as I've got my A-levels coming up in under a month (all my time is now focused on revision).
However, I was able to go out today to witness this! Rail Operations Group 37884 'Cepheus' on a 730 drag to Willesden!
Views have been down quite dramatically for a while, so I'd appreciate it if you went and showed this video some love!
As always, I appreciate you all!
Thank you!!! :D

Hi everyone!
Last night was Test Train night!
I had the honour of seeing 37175 and 37612 at Coventry station!
I had a lovely little chat with the driver, who was such a nice guy. He properly thrashed the pair out when they left.
Make sure to check out the video!

Hello everyone!
How are we all?
I know it's been a while since I've posted a proper video, but finally, something has been uploaded!
One of my favourite locomotives, 4079 'Pendennis Castle' made an appearance last weekend at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, for their annual steam gala. What a beast she is!
Here is the link to the video of her blasting out of Damems loop!
I hope you enjoy it!

Hi there everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow, two videos will be getting uploaded.
One containing Trains at Canley, and the second, a compilation of the 3 rather mega Class 68s that came through on the day!
Don't worry, there is a lot more to see in the 'trains at' video.
However, I have uploaded the 68s as a second video in case the first one doesn't do particularly well.
The first will be up at 11am UK time,( https://youtu.be/6Mz5pHUScHg ) and the second at 2pm UK time. ( https://youtu.be/WLh9HaC1S7I )
In the meantime, here is a selection of the best photos I took today!
Enjoy!
