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 (Great Western Railway) 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.

@setrains.bsky.social... perhaps a truly embryonic account for South Eastern Trains.
