Frank Cheevers’ handsome (undated) portrait of a very youthful 87005 heading South on the West Coast Main Line at Ledburn. @_doublearrow
A Blue Plaque courtesy of @yorkcivictrust to commemorate sculptor Austin Wright’s life and work at Green View, Upper Poppleton near York.
The loco that put the ‘tinsel’ into Tinsley @_doublearrow

33008 Eastleigh poses at Waterloo upon arrival from Exeter on 14 April 1980, following its naming at the BREL works three days earlier. Shoulder grilles picked out in silver (or grey) and buffers embellished too. 44 years!@_doublearrow @NSE_Latchmere @rlonguk 📸 John Atkinson.
You may have seen details, given by some outlets online, about a low-level transit by the Red Arrows across parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire this morning - this flight is not taking place due to a change in training priorities and sorties today.
And end-of-the-week treat for @_doublearrow 87006 in its (regrettably) unique experimental large logo Executive Grey livery pauses at Crewe on 29 May 1984. 📸 (and HT to) Simeon Gaskell
One for the ages @_doublearrow Newly refurbished 37427 on 12/2/86 working a Portsmouth - Cardiff service forward from Bristol. 📸 courtesy Michael Musty but original photographer unknown.
Asking a guest if they want another cup of tea, to make them realise they should be making a move. And they say yes.
Recently-refurbished 50020 at Doncaster 29/3/81. Not quite ex works, it shows early accumulation of brake dust on the bogies and soot around the exhausts - possibly the product of a few separate test runs after it had spent several months apart @_doublearrow 📸 Colin Whitbread
A portrait of minty-fresh 56117 by Colin Mytton at BREL Crewe, 29/1/83. History does not record the reasons for Crewe’s preference for grey bodyside grilles but they featured to the end of production there. @_doublearrow
Colin Mutton’s capture of new 58003 returning to BREL Doncaster on 28 June 1983. It would have been surrounded by a sea of Rail Blue (and Grey) and must have seemed enthrallingly futuristic to any enthusiasts around to witness it. Doesn’t look too bad now 🥰 @_doublearrow
I can’t be sure, but the opening soundtrack moments of the first episode of Paddington seem to feature a Class 40 idling, and then pulling away. Abt 18 seconds in… @cfpsnews @_doublearrow @rlonguk @MrTimDunn

A incredible night down at York Holgate Works to say farewell to DRS 37's on RHTT work.
I’ve spent the past 9 days behind the scenes with Brighton & Hove Albion to write a feature about a landmark week in the club's history. But also a normal week in the life of Premier League club. Which is intense. 🧵 about how it happened & unfolded. 1/n
