Or rail engineers.
Guessing the date is engine date.
Or hobbists.
hobbits
Dunno if ycur exists or if that's his own railway
If it exists it's an industrial railway at least
And yeah LNER is London and North Eastern Railway
I'm guessing it's Russian.
what happened to gner
I used to get loads of gner trains in my youth
Gner got fucked to death by the govt
I lived by some tracks just outside of the city.
rip
Used to hear the horn at night until like...
2012?
used to get the bus to York and then gner trains to either Newcastle or darn sarf
depending on who I was banging
on any given weekend
About 2 km away.
Still could easily hear the horn.
Ok ycur is a pre-grouping railway company
was the same london-glasgow service in either direction
and also the basis for one of my most amusing train based memories
they had some time tabling fuck up and put the north bound train on the southbound platform
everyone had to fuckin move all over the place
I used to be big into replica model planes from the WWII era.
the train starts pulling away
and a door window rolls down
and a little old lady leans out the window shouting "I'm on the wrong train!"
Rip little old lady
I think that was the same day I met the Swedish backpackers and they had tons of beer in their bag
we just sat on the floor and got shitfaced on the train
👌
Nice
As Sir Nigel Gresley intended
probably the one thing better about trains than cars is that you can drink while you ride
frowned upon when you're driving
Hence why we need self-driving cars
