@MattJennings337 Lowestoft to Great Yarmouth as a preserved steam tourist line. (But not over the water as that would be too costly.) As a proper main line Kings Lynn to Hunstanton and Shanklin to Ventnor are two obvious ones.

A question to start your week: If you could re opened any line that was closed years ago what would you re open? This could be something that was shut down permanently A route that was cut back to its current destination Or a route that was planned but was never built

@DI313_ And that idiot Milliband wants to restrict wood burning stoves when these push out more pollution than all the stoves put together.

⚡🇬🇧UK skies just got hit with pure fire! Two B-52 Stratofortress monsters, armed with cruise missiles under their wings, stormed the skies from the UK, belching thick black smoke on takeoff while B-1 Lancers keep flexing from RAF Fairford. Are we witnessing a new level of air dominance, or is someone pushing boundaries too far? Eyes open.

@otokyo__ Brut and Youth Dew

What did the 70s smell like

@MarkHaydock5 My mother hated the fact that her clean white sheets got covered in black smuts

When I was young, my great aunt had a railway line at the end of her garden similar to this one. I was always very envious 🙂

@FarmingUK Yes and if its guaranteed to be non halal slaughtered

@JohnTillUK And a weird sounding sort of creepy uncle in @greate

Travelled quite a bit by rail over the last 72 hours - when did our railway become so negative in terms of announcements? All I’ve heard is tons of messages about everything I can’t or shouldn’t do or shouty human announcements barking orders at customers.We’ve got to get better

Local news @BBCLookEast just referred to off grid oil. If any household has on grid oil that would be quite something

@TashP351 Why can't you just go and open your own fish and chip shop. You are clearly a successful business person with cash to invest. Off you go then.

Why can’t fish & chip shops stay open past 7pm??? Or open on a Sunday??? As a nation, why do we just accept this??? IT’S BULLSHIT.

@RailwayExplorer At?

Now who knows which station this GNER sign is at?

@dimenpsyonal If that is Central then where are the other MK stations?

Currently in some kind of weird car centric hellscape

@BrianBengal Yes I agree

This facade can be saved with facade retention technique. Anyone telling Glasgow otherwise is a liar.

@JAHeale South Africa. The only reason it hasnt been stolen for scrap is because its cemented into the ground. But give it time....

Fabulous find at the top of Table Mountain: an Edward VII postbox, manufactured in Derby, now 3,500 feet above Cape Town

@rebecca_ryder21 I know of one on a ward that still shows December 2024

NHS hospital: I noticed the clock on the wall showed the wrong time. A nurse told me they knew, but they wouldn’t report it because replacing the battery through the NHS would cost £70. A £2 battery... £70. How? Why? That's when I began to dig further. 🧵

@NetworkRailMAN @networkrail @StoryContractng @KingsTrust @hmpps Oh thats good. So now you can leave all the rails strewn all over the place. Just like most main lines

✨ We’ve been giving the Deepdale branch line a new lease of life in Preston. 🤝 @networkrail, @StoryContractng, local volunteers, @KingsTrust, and @hmpps have been working together over the past year to transform the disused railway line. 🧵 (1/3)

@NoContextBrits Back passage

What do you call this?

@railwaychaplain @RailwyMission Excellent

Its good to see a former @RailwyMission Hall being used in this way. Serving God in a warzone: special meeting in Norwich - Network Norfolk - networknorwich.co.uk/Articles/73582…

Looking for a way to cut down on bread? Simple. Just make sure your Significant Other buys sourdough. Chewing gum with holes. You'll never bother with bread again. #fashion #fad #emperorsnewclothes

@bushontheradio Nah. Stay where you are. Then quietly put your hand on his knee. He'll soon move then :)

Surely the rule is: If you sit next to someone on a train because it's busy, when the carriage empties out, you don't stay sat next to them like you're two pensioners on a day trip, you move. Right?

@VinnieSull1van @BygoneBritain @Britains___Pubs And tourist overload

This 1960s video of Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the "Venice of the Cotswolds," which is a popular Gloucestershire village, shows how content both people and wildlife were before the age of hypermodernity. ♥️⏳️

@blindandb0ujee Thank him. Loudly. Then tell him you're sure it will come in handy if you ever forget your own card in future.

I’m on a (far from empty) train and a bloke has just made a payment over the phone. Full name, long card number, expiry, CVV all announced to the carriage. Baffling.
