A New Place For My Media

[TFT6439]

Not my media but one of the most wholesome train videos I've ever seen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sHuaSqMs_X8

[TFT6439]

yeah I know! 7 days almost 6 and I will be on that very loco! Struggling to hold my excitmemt lol.

[Nathan]

Oh wow! Congrats!

[TFT6439]

Thanks! Not the only one I'm going on that day

[TFT6439]

Might go to either Swindon or Bristol to see 1001 Thumper 👀 👀

[TFT6439]

Nathan when and if you do go if it runs you should compare to tsw.

[Nathan]

Aye! I might go, although I might not concidering my birthday is literally the day after. Not sure. It would be great to see though. Btw. You can find my class 385 comparison in the screenshot competition thread.

[TFT6439]

Didn't see it in the end I unfortunately had other stuff to do.

I believe 66789 & 66730 Were running Totton Yard loops a few weeks ago so I was very lucky that they were still there.

[Nathan]

I bet!
I remember when I was on holiday in fort William we could see the Jacobite going past and getting ready for service as we were comming out of Morrisons! It was great! And again, one morning we decided to go to Costa for a morning coffee and there it was again! It was kinda funny how natural this must seem to the locals but it was really cool to see it!

[TFT6439]

Nice one! It's a shame that people are like "Oh that's nothing special it's an everyday train." Where as we trainspotters know what's what.

[Nathan]

Yea! Exactly!

[TFT6439]

Nathan Just came back from Swanage. Didn't stay as long as I hoped but the wind got a bit too much for me. Just changed my profile picture to 76084 as a sneak peak.

[Nathan]

Oh nice! 👍

[Nathan]

Question for TFT6439and TrainGeek08 .
Should I...
A) Go on the Cathcart Circle
B)Go on a Class 158 for the first time to Anniesland
C) Go on the Class 385 on the Edinburgh to Glasgow line.

[TFT6439]

Cool! Yay I have now passed 10 letter or more limit

[Nathan]

Haha. Lol. I can't wait! I'll start a thread for all my photos to go in. Let's see how the Scotrail class 158 compared to the swr class 158. And how the class 385 irl compares to the version in the game.

[TFT6439]

Good idea!

[TFT6439]

Well I didn't go on Eddystone at the gala so seeing this image reminds me of the meme: My Dissapointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

In all seriousness I may be going in June so if its anything like 34072 257 Squadron on the Spa valley it will be held hostage at that railway until the end of time. :/

[TFT6439]

Might pop down to Salisbury later and see Britannia again on its ECS back to Crewe. 66304 has also been taking the Westbury To Eastleigh along side 66792 which Passes through around the same time as Britannia leaves.

[Nathan]

Oh nice photos! Loved “158 comming to TSW...”!

[TFT6439]

Thanks! Am very excited to drive them especially as they're my locals.

[Nathan]

Yea, same! I can't wait to drive them! I wish I had them on my local line. Instead I've got 380's and 156's

Ok am quite annoyed. Just realised 44932 went through Pewsey earlier today and in about 20 minutes 34046 Braunton is going through Pewsey. Even if i left now I would not make it in time even if I was doing 100mph the whole way :/. Well I will see Mayflower next week so I guess I can't complain...

[TFT6439]

However I am proud to announce that in early June I may be venturing out the in my top 3 furthest ever for a trainspotting session and that place is Basingstoke. However even further the works to go to Reading, London, and even York! However they're plans so there is no guarantee they will ever happen.

[TFT6439]

I am planning to go to Glasgow at somepoint to do a TSW Comparison I will keep you updated.

[Nathan]

Ooooooh! Can't wait!
You gotta ride on the ACL. Or at least a class 380. You won't regret it! And you have to do the WHL at some point as well. Those 156 clicking along the tracks sound amazing! Also, hopefully you get the chance to try out our hst's! There very nice if you can get a seat!

[TFT6439]

Nathan One day I will most certainly go there however I do have some stuff in the works as well as my friends and family, railtours, etc etc. So atm as much as I would love to my hands are quite full down here atm but definitely one day.

[TFT6439]

Oof. (Anyone know a bypass?)

[Nathan]

Lol. Why do you think I haven't uploaded any yet? I have like 1000's for train vids!

[TFT6439]

I can confirm as of 09:04 AM on 17/04/23 That video's still aren't allowed.

[Nathan]

Lol. Okay. Very specific but thanks.

[TFT6439]

Hey guys! Disclaimer: Before I tell you guys parts of this may not go to plan/go ahead. I'm proud to annouce my next Spotting Session which will be taking place at Winchester, Eastleigh, and Salisbury! For 61306 Mayflower and also to see the Class 313s in the works as I've never seen them but do want to before they are gone for good. I will be seeing a few other trains so get excited!!

[TFT6439]

Sorry guys change of plan due to a few personal problems I will no longer be able to go to Winchester & Eastleigh for Mayflower however I will be seeing at Salisbury Still.

[TFT6439]

She's off!!!!

[Nathan]

I love seeing Clapham junction there from tsw 😂. I know it's a real place but it's still cool to see.

[TFT6439]

I would like to go there one day cuz in phrases like NYC it's the station that never sleeps. You would definitely be surprised how busy it is but there are a good amount of ops through there. TSW is an understatement with the amount of trains that pass through in a minute when you compare to a video there let alone during rush hour.
