I'm generally posting first over here these days, though I'll admit the whole Twitter Trajectory has rather taken the shine off the socials of any flavour. bsky.app/profile/passengerac…

Today is one of those glorious Welsh Autumn days with all the trees starting to turn and the golden light of a lower winter sun. What a day to be out and about on the @TalyllynRailway

Lunch today was at Rhyd Ddu station, we were aiming for Beddgelert but it was tourist rammed, but the next station up is lovely and quiet, big walkers car park with loos, a platform bench with a great view of Snowdon in the dappled sun and a surprise Garratt

Today a last minute decision for TinyAction and myself to take the Boston Lodge Tour. A fascinating site, interesting history and great tour guides. Definitely recommended even if you aren't the biggest train nut as the local history of the area in context was brilliant.

A day away from the @TalyllynRailway today and instead a day of amazing views and the sounds and smells of a Garratt working hard all the way to Caernarfon and back @festrail

No.3 'Sir Haydn' & No.4 'Edward Thomas' double heading the first train through Quarry Siding this morning - this double header is in memory of long standing TR volunteer Donald Heath who sadly passed away earlier this year. No.3 was his favourite engine.

Not sure if the barrier wagon was there intentionally to give the crew of the second loco some visibility around the massive bulk of the Garratt maybe? Or it might just have been being returned anyway so may as well add it to the formation. @festrail

Garratt 87 shunted off to drop the barrier wagon in the yard and release Kalahari to run into the yard light engine before returning to take the coach stock back to the yard. Kalahari moved too quick for us to get any pictures 😂

While the tree being down across the line to Nant is not ideal it does mean you get some interesting movements at Aber on @TalyllynRailway Dolgoch runs around it's train at the start of Abergnolwyn's long platform while Sir Haydn waits to leave up by the blockpost

Notified on 26 October of a Change of Terms that I will have been deemed to have accepted if I use the services after the 9th October. At this point they're not even trying to hide the disdain for law are they?

We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…
Margaret Hamilton is reclined inside a NASA spacecraft module, surrounded by control panels and switches.
