Three to guess.

One go each please, or I'll set Finn on you!*

bignosemac was with Finn. Our first rail travel of 2018. Last time I was on the rails was Class 800 launch day, 16th October 2017. Severe withdrawal symptoms.

I don't know but I am intrigued by the yellow aerosol markings - is it that uneven?

I can only assume they are marking areas of future work, rather than warning of an uneven service.

It's not, sorry.

No idea where the stations are but as someone who is not a dog fan (personal reasons) Finn is cool!
