#Southeastern and #Hornby have unveiled the Railway 200 ‘Javelin’ high-speed #train at #Margate station to celebrate the 200th anniversary of passenger rail services in the #UK. The special livery features iconic landmarks across Kent and the South East, marking the region’s connection to high-speed rail. 395015 is the first to showcase the #Railway 200 graphic, with more #trains to follow. The unveiling, attended by local businesses, highlights the transformative impact of high-speed rail, which saw over 15 million journeys in the last financial year. Hornby has also released a model train pack to commemorate the event. High-speed services, launched in 2009, have boosted connectivity, economic growth, and social mobility across #Kent and #London.

3/5 a foggy day in #Margate

The camera has just about caught the horizon, which is more than my eyes could do.

This is not good. A Russian ship with 7x the amount of fertiliser that blew up flattened Beirut, drifting rudderless off the Kent coast

This young lady (Molly the #cat) has not come home in over a week. I'm starting to worry.

Pleasant few days in #Margate for half term with my family. Nice to see the sea. Great food & drink in the town and the Tate Gallery was worth a look. Didn’t realise #KarlMarx had stayed there but verified after spotting a fairly dubious looking #BluePlaque
