A very grubby looking Colas Rail 70801 passing through Hinckley on the 10th November 2026 on the 09:03 (4C31) Bradwell up sidings Colas to Cliffe Hill Stud Farm Colas with Land Recovery JNA's in tow, I think this is a new path. #class70 #Colas

Finally, after being bowled out of it last week, I've copped 3J51 and the @ColasRailUK #Class37s on it. Yes, it really did take until November for me to go out for them 🤣

#Class37 37057 "Barbara Arbon" leads 37099 "Merl Evans 1947 - 2016" away from Hatfield and Stainforth.

I rarely photographed HSTs as they had displaced the 50s on the Bristol to Paddington services so to my mind were the bad guys, something I now regret, I guess the learning is to photo the mundane as well as the interesting stuff. Temple Meads 5/3/88.

This @Jake_Kanter article says what so many women are really thinking about @Channel4

“I would not have had the confidence to speak up again.”

I think Channel 4 is pretending it changed.

But it hasn’t.

The Russell Brand victim impact statements in court today were harrowing, but I keep coming back to this: Channel 4 could, and should, have dealt with Brand 17 years ago. Instead, an ex-staffer told court that bosses brushed her complaint under the carpet. deadline.com/2026/11/russel…

#OnThisDay 106 years ago at 20:32 a mail train carrying the Unknown Warrior's remains arrived at London Victoria platform 8. The roof of the carriage carrying the soldier's remains was painted white, so people en route could salute it. Image: MoorwaySouth buff.ly/a6rGQhb
A plaque stating 'The body of the British unknown warrior arrived at platform 8 at 8:32pm on the 10th November 1920 and lay here overnight before interment at Westminster Abbey on 11th November 1920' with the cab end of a Southern service stating at the buffer stops of platform 8 in the background. On the 10th November 1920, the mail train arrived at Victoria Station at platform 8, but one of the carriages had its roof painted white to mark it out as different from the others. This was the carriage carrying the remains of the Unknown Warrior. The coffin carrying the remains had been ceremonially escorted from France across the Channel to Dover earlier that day. The coffin was then placed in a carriage, on the South Eastern and Chatham Railway to London. The top of the carriage was painted white so that people standing on bridges and beside the railway line would know which specific carriage to salute or pay their respects to as the train passed.

It was a brand new coat and it was a Jaeger coat. The late Queen Mother complimented Michael by saying 'Mr. Foot that is a most sensible coat for an inclement day'. Sadly, a back bench MP, Walter Johnson, didn't much like the cut of Michael's coat and set the whole thing off..

What was once a Monday to Friday occurrence in Fort William. A pair of 37s (usually) powering past the Alcan works at the start of their journey to Mossend Yard. A scene that has now passed into history.

#OnThisDay 176 years ago, Dalston Kingsland station opened as 'Kingsland'. It closed after just 15 years due to all NLR services diverting to Broad Street, but reopened in 1983 for a North Woolwich to Camden Road diesel service. 1984 image: Kevin Lane buff.ly/6fSXLTG

Quite pleased with how this shortbread turned out. Ages since I last made some. Still time to perfect the process before Christmas!

On this day in 1963, 63 years ago, 100 years of community service was brought to a disappointing end with the closure of the last mile-and-a-half-long section of the Border Counties Railway.
