Alex has been showing pictures of his recent adventures and today he had another one!

He flew all the way from Scotland to Wales (via that other country in between...) just to spend a few hours on the Blaenavon Heritage Railway (Rheilffordd Treftadaeth Blaenafon) where I am a volunteer. We at the railway think he now holds the record for the furthest day trip to ride on the railway!

As the train approached Blaenavon High Level station there appeared to be a kilted figure on the platform.



Could it possibly be Alex trying to hide behind that lady?



Yes of course it was and here he poses with the DMU two coach train we were running, affectionally known as "The Thumper." We normally run steam trains at weekends but our midweek trains in August are diesels with a cab at each end.
