And carriages close shut and warm,
Whose silence glitters through the pelting storm,
With their inscriptions faded, and their cold,
Pale windows ... the surrendered rest they hold ...

Quelque part sur HS1 entre Londres et Paris 😉🚄
Lorsque je rentre de Londres , les trains du matins sont souvent propices à de belles lumières offrant des contrastes intéressant avec les différents tunnels Londoniens.

Station Gouda 14h36
Today, Sunday 07/12/2025, Andy is having his last service on the train service as a train driver between Gouda and Alphen aan de Rijn (a distance of 17.6 kilometers). Operated by NS with Flirt 3 trains manufactured by Stadler Rail.
Andy began his rail career at NS as an trainee in November 2023 and joined the railroad company NS in September 2024, starting on January 22, 2025, on this railway line between Gouda and Alphen aan den Rijn. During that time, Andy completed 1,475 journeys between Gouda and Alphen aan den Rijn, four journeys between Boskoop and Alphen aan den Rijn, and one journey between Gouda and Boskoop. A total of 26,203 kilometers. [ source: Andy]
NS R-net FLIRT
The NS R-Net Flirt is a series of six Stadler Flirt 3 trainsets (numbered 2010 - 2015) from NS, ordered through its subsidiary Abellio Rail. The trainsets were purchased for use on the Gouda - Alphen aan den Rijn railway line. The trainsets are owned by NS Reizigers (NS Travelers), but form a separate series alongside the Flirt trainsets for the main rail network.
The FLIRT (acronym for Flinker Leichter Innovativer Regionaltriebzug) is derived from the Stadler GTW, with the main difference being that the FLIRT's drive units are located behind the cabs (instead of in a separate power car). This train type is characterized by light and spacious interiors due to the use of Jacobs bogies combined with wide, open body transitions and a low floor. The low floor, combined with a retractable step, makes the train more accessible for people with physical disabilities. The train's low weight combined with high torque makes it ideal for train services with frequent stops and short stopping times.
The trainsets were purchased following the award of the Alphen aan den Rijn – Gouda train service concession for the period 2016-2031. The trainsets were ordered through a contract from the German NS subsidiary Abellio Rail NRW. These are more or less standard trainsets, which allowed for relatively quick delivery. The trainsets were built at Stadler's headquarters in Bussnang, Switzerland.
The first trainset, numbered 2010, was delivered in the Netherlands on December 3, 2015. The remaining five trainsets followed in 2016. Between January 2016 and December 2016, several test runs were conducted on the Dutch railway network, allowing train crews to gain experience with these trainsets.

A scene from Huddersfield station on Thursday 13 October 2022. Northern Rail Class 150 DMU no. 150218 stands in platform 2, ready to form 2B19, the 1412hrs service to Sheffield. The driver heads along the platform towards his cab, caught in the afternoon backlight.
For an alternative angle on railway photography, why not take a look at the Phoenix website:
Final day of my class 68 traction course and time for a group photo. Myself and three colleagues stand at Preston station after a practical handling run from Kingmoor TMD to Preston. 68 004 is seen in platform 5 for a break before returning as driver training extra 0Z42 12.10 Preston to Carlisle Kingmoor TMD.

Op zaterdag 24 maart werd genoten van het prachtige weer door een eindje te fietsen. Omdat het dusdanig mooi weer was werd uiteindelijk naar Assel en Radio Kootwijk gefietst. Na de Chengdu Shuttle gefotografeerd te hebben werd doorgefietst naar Radio Kootwijk. Hier aangekomen kwam een enkele cargo voorbij en niet te vergeten het reguliere verkeer. Omdat ik hier rond het 'juiste' uur stond kon ook de IC Berlijn vereeuwigd worden.
Luid en duidelijk kwam de IC Berlijn naar Amsterdam langs Halte Assel. Tijd om positie in te nemen dus. Aan het spreekwoordelijke roer van loc 1752 kwam de vrolijke meester van IC 148 (zwaai terug ;-) ) langs Radio Kootwijk.

This shot of a Steam train driver is from a Timeline Events / London Camera Exchange event I attended back in October at the Didcot Railway Centre. In addition to the opportunity to shoot the steam trains and several re-enactors, there were a couple of models and a rather spectacular fire performer. It was one of my favourite photography experiences I had this year but somehow I'd missed the potential of this atmospheric ISO3200 shot on my first pass through the images.
