    Dear @Virgin_TrainsEC and @DavidHorne, I wanted to make you aware of some proper Christmas heroics that happened on one of your services yesterday - someone deserves a fanfare for this... Drop me a line, would you?

    The first picture I ever had published (thank you @RAIL). A one in a million shot at Ealing Broadway of an @GWRHelp HST at the ton through Ealing Broadway; couldn't do this again if I tried!
