What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

Why does it have its gangway open?
I think, until their retirement, EMR should use 4 car formations of 158 and 156 to Norwich regularly. I think they should go to SWR, and the new liveried sets could go to Ecclesbourne Valley railway, and the NNR. Ditto with the 156s, only they should go to Northern or Scotrail
As for the remaining operators, I think GA should operate a 10-car 720, or a 12-car 745 to Ely, maybe the 0653 King’s Lynn – Liverpool Street or the 2032 Liverpool Street – Kings Lynn. They could reinstate London – Peterborough services too.
Great Northern should take the 30 class 379s, as a replacement for the 387/2s when they go to Southern. If GN don’t take the 379s, Scotrail (replace the 318/320), LNWR (Abbey Line) or Heathrow Express could. More 700s should go to King’s Lynn and Ely.
Cross Country could have longer 170 formations, instead of just a 3 car is too short, or they could order a 196/197 civity type train, or some bi-mode trains like 755s. They could order IETs to replace the voyagers on long distance services, or they could run HSTs to Cambridge.
