So sorry, I’ve not posted any news from Coopers Junction is a long, long time! Just not really had the time to do much with it, over the last number of months! Just been so busy, cycling, walking and of course doing lots of overtime at work!
In last number of months, I did get the 66773 ‘Pride of GB Railfreight’, along with FEA-S intermodal wagon 640689 in GBRf blue and three 45′ container “24” in Stobart Rail “Less Co2” livery! Which had to be done, since I work for Tesco!
Big thanks to the person that got me, these off my amazon wishlist! Really do have some of the best fans/friends in the world!!
Please do check out my lists:-
P.S. If you get something off the Lycra + wetsuitlads wishlist, I will do photos and videos wearing them!!

Here is the updated version of my VeloViewer Infographic. Which shows all my cycling and walking data from 01/01/2021 to 03/12/2021.
So far, I’ve done 4,201 miles of exercise this year. Which is made up of just cycling and walking. All recorded via GPS.
Also had 337 active days… Which means, I’ve done at least one cycle or walk each day this year!
Where it says running… That’s my walking data!
So far during 2021, I’ve visited an extra 29 railway stations! Hoping to end the year, on at least 40! See what happens!
My favourite new railway station of 2021 so far…. Has to be… Berney Arms!
