Power failure at Hampden Park meant a load of shunting at Hastings, splitting and attaching, and running some 2Z special services. No wonder I’ve slept so well 😅 I was exhausted by the end of it02 Jan 2025 11:27 +0000at://did:plc:7elteytyp7xelrt42vvu75b7/app.bsky.feed.post/3leqxty4qek27https://bsky.app/profile/driverliam98.bsky.social/post/3ldg5nceubk2rSomething new to Lovers Walk, lurking behind the shed door👀16 Dec 2024 10:47 +0000at://did:plc:7elteytyp7xelrt42vvu75b7/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldg5nceubk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/driverliam98.bsky.social/post/3lbnpzaseys2cI was expecting a difficult shift but this was something else. LC issue at Wallsend LC meant talking past a red at Pevensey Bay heading toward Hastings. Then congestion around Hastings.

Happy with how my shift went and my first solo drive into Lovers Walk. I will definitely be wearing an extra layer today 🥶21 Nov 2024 11:18 +0000at://did:plc:7elteytyp7xelrt42vvu75b7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbhdrhej6c24https://bsky.app/profile/driverliam98.bsky.social/post/3lbcdmq2rhs2iScrap that!

I won’t be working 2Y56/2Y65 between Littlehampton and Chichester as I don’t sign the route west of Barnham.
