@northernassist Thanks. My point was mostly about conflicting information on displays at Doncaster station, which showed the train as both running, and cancelled at the same time. Also, from platform 6? This would involve a shunt north for the train to travel south to Swinton.

The train is currently running but will be terminating early at Swinton (South Yorkshire) because signalling cables have been stolen. This disruption is due to theft and we apologise for any inconvenience caused to your journey. Please check for updates and alternative travel options.

It’s unusual to have a “do not travel” instruction, but there’s really no excuse for this on the railway: signal failure closes platforms 1-14 at Waterloo bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Some depressing reading from ORR: 'Reduced renewals delivery plans risks additional deterioration of railway assets which may lead to more asset failures and therefore disruption to train' orr.gov.uk/annual-assessm…

The bare, bare, oh so bare & treeless palimpsest expanses of Upper Coquetdale in Northumberland. No one will ever convince me this is the most environmentally-productive form of land management. Admittedly the resident ovines may well beg to differ (:

It's all kicking off with drivers at one big operator.I'm told a senior trainer/policy manager has been caught taking pics in the cab of a moving train and is being given kid glove treatment,when drivers who have taken cab pics on stationary trains have been severely disciplined.

A source reminds me that this scheme is vital if there’s to be any hope of restoring the second hourly Newcastle-Manchester service. That service is something Northern politicians only grudgingly gave up to let more East Coast Main Line trains serve London.

Also suspended, despite warnings of ECML capacity problems with December 2025’s timetable, is NR’s scheme to improve capacity at York, which has includes its partially built third line north of the station.

I was working in the quite exquisite surrounds of @ushawdurham today. A real treat. This is somewhere that everyone should visit at least thrice. Such gilt-edged opportunities don’t come along often & so I came prepared with 3 camera/lens combos. Here’s No1. Hope they pass muster

When HS2 started I decided to let others cover it for @Modern_Railways . This was because I realised that reporting on such a major scheme at the level readers expected would restrict my time available for coverage of the working railway. A prudent decision in retrospect.
