First thing I noticed when I first saw this is how pristine the lineside looked back then, no buddleia, no discarded bits of rail.

Railway Signalman. Don't press any red buttons. Views are that of my own. Pro rail nationalisation (waiting for GBR to end this madness!)

When drivers report a bit of swaying at speed it’s normally a low joint that needs a bit of packing.
This was me along with my P-Way colleagues attending to a one of those reports.
Track jacked up and then sleepers packed using Robel vertical tampers.

One thing I've noticed since the Class 805/807s having the clearance to run at 125mph is just how rough they are. Hunting all over the place, they're just as shit as the GWR ones at speed.

@mark395625 @Guard_Amos @LumoTravel @AvantiWestCoast I won't travel on it even if they did, I'd rather sit on a Class 150 for 10 hours than sit on a Meridian

I think when @LumoTravel start running. @AvantiWestCoast will have some stiff competition between Carlisle and London. Looking at that stopping pattern

The timetable for Lumo Stirling services has seemingly been confirmed, with services starting from May 17th. It can be downloaded from lumo.co.uk/plan-your-jour…

@DownOnTheStour @MonsieurPiddly Found it 0423 2H53, must have been that and not 0230. it was 20 years ago, memory is going. 🤣

@DownOnTheStour @MonsieurPiddly I definitely remember the 0230 ish one from my announcing days at New Street as all the piss heads used to get on it

@NerdSignalman @S26PHY No thanks signaller. Firmly 3rd rail land only please 😂

@Inekehumalanggi And still a better road build quality than most councils manage to achieve in the UK
English
Road works in the form of an 🚧 N scale railway crossing are being built!

@RachelReevesMP It's not all rare fares though, it's only regulated fares. Unregulated fares such as TOC specific tickets they'll be free to charge whatever they like. So the statement "freezing rail fares" is only partially true.
English
Our number one focus is cutting the cost of living. That's why we're taking £150 off energy bills, freezing rail fares and increasing minimum wage. There's more to do, but this is the year Britain turns a corner.

@Heidi_Labour @trainsimworld *Other, better train simulators are available. TSW is just a cash cow that churns out the same rubbish and just advances game title by one year.

Lovely to collaborate with @trainsimworld and to “drive” a new Great British Railways branded train at London Bridge last week.
As we nationalise the railways and set up GBR, we are building a railway owned by you - the British public. A railway to rely on and be proud of.
English
@NerdSignalman 👍 You can also direct the criticism to the DfT.
As I think I said, there will be revisions, this is a starting point.
English
So, news of this new branding seems to be a Marmite moment.
I suspect the branding will see further refinement before a fuller launch in the spring, but already concerns are being raised that so many trains in one livery will cause confusion.
Here's the EMU graphic.
RAIL EXPRESS@railexpress
DfT reveals branding for Great British Railways. The famous double arrow logo and red, white and blue train livery for GBR will be rolled out from next spring to trains and also appear on websites, stations. Station signs and the GBR app are also branded in the three colours.

Finally, someone has made an IET look good 😍

@evang3l10n_un1t tbh it kinda would slap

@TfL "This is your driver, We're being held here at a red signal due to <add in any nonsense reason here> at <add random location>"
English
@railLKB Livery is still non-compliant as your version is missing the orange cant rail strip under the roof line (Indicating overhead live wires, regardless of whether the train can actually use the overheads)
English
Even a modest alternation;
- Professional
- Clean
- Uncontroversial
- Visually accessible
- Distinction between InterCity and regional services.

Re: livery (again) It's important that, for the sake of our traveling public that we have a railway and service we're proud to work for; engagement with staff is important, so as not to disenfranchise or attenuate moral We must have our input to our visual identity.
