My local Train Operating Company is First Capital Connect and I have built up an excellent rapport with the company over the years. I am very fond of First Group as a whole, having been interested in First Bus since the Barbie livery and the blue seats with sky blue poles came out on buses.

 

I also regularly travel with UK Railtours and I really enjoy their private charter trans that cover the length and breath of Great Britain. Their customer service is second to none and the catering company are friendly and wonderful! I can't praise them enough!

 

My favourite music is ABBA, however I enjoy and listen to many other music out there.

I have slowly been revamping my photographs to a much higher quality with a Nikon Coolpix S3000 digital camera. I hope you appreciate the quality and the hard work that I have put in. Please feel free to browse through my sets to experience my handiwork for yourselves!

 

enjoy!
