One option, having created the account, is to set it to be inactive - Bluesky does not expire inactive accounts after say 30 days as some other social media platforms do.

*Edit* Checked this and yes, this is still the case, inactive accounts are simply put on the shelf and are not at threat of deactivation.

GWR^▸ have arrived on Bluesky, as @gwruk.bsky.social, tho' the tail end of the bsky link to it is curious for the time being. "did:plc:pw223uaa6slgbvm2gmmfkrz3" - what's that about?

Transpennine Express may have appeared - as @TPExpressTrains - but will have paused their account as it's not currently visible.

@railwayheritage.bsky.social referred to it.
