There seems to be a different unit doing our run to Mossend at different timing with different headcodes, not sure what's going on there!

Another week bites the dust, growing loads, strong winds, broken down trains causing diversions all taken in our stride. This time next week there should be a big announcement to bring some Christmas cheer.

Another week ticked off and challenges met. Another trial completed and some excellent news being lined up for release in a week or so, so watch this space!

Another interesting week bites the dust. Loads increasing and hopefully a trial run for a new customer on the horizon. Might need an extra unit at this rate!

A good week with a record run, growing loads and sub 4 hour runs north. Onwards and upwards.

What a great night, left 2 early and a record 3 hours and 39 minutes later arrived in Mossend. It's amazing what can happen when you have solid greens all the way! That's an average of 79mph, which makes it very express parcels and all on a clean, green electric train.

What a week. Increased flows and more just in time deliveries with late departures on 4 out of 5 services, but still early by Carlisle and a happy customer, apart from the night we were caught up in the S55 problems. More customers making the right noises about getting on board so a tiring but happy week!

Despite problems south of Glasgow delaying the south bound service by 88 minutes at one point we cut that back to jusr 20 late leaving International and will hopefully be early into Mossend! Happy days and a very happy team at BHI!!

After a week of rough weather and even a broken down 325 delaying the BHI arrival by 70 minutes we still got back to Mossend early every night, with last night in a new record of 3 hours 47! That's not far off the perfect run.

Last Tuesday we had a stakeholder open day complete with special guest Robert Llewellyn, from Red Dwarf and Fully Charged. Next Tuesday we will hopefully begin scheduled services. Watch this space and then join us for the ride!

Nice to see our Dusty Bin in daylight. Fantastic turnout for our Stakeholder Open Day with special guest Robert Llewellyn of Red Dwarf and Scrap Heap Challenge fame. Roll on the start of scheduled services!

We are apparently on Instagram now, what ever that is. Don't expect to see much until I've worked out how it works.

Getting ready to head home on Monday night.

98 minutes early departure with the first load for our new customer, would have been earlier if the passenger services hadn't been all over the place tonight!

Last train of the week is on it's way south to collect cages for a new customer! Things are going in the right direction.
