Railways

It's been a strange season for our local summer steam service. An early start, with some odd gaps in the programme. One other, almost traditional occurrence is that the charter will be diesel hauled at least once during the run - if only to upset the massed ranks of steam fans who religiously plod down to the station to watch... And with 71000 out of action, and other steam locos engaged elsewhere, today was that day...

Substituting for steam, 67018 passes Highbridge

Not the most interesting of traction choices, but it was good to see a loco which normally potters about on my commuter train to work getting to stretch its legs with a proper train for a change!

I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.

I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
