@AvantiWestCoast @rugbyfirstltd @Warwickshire_CC meantime on the "big trains", there are rail replacement coaches to Coventry and Birmingham 🚍

A different kind of Sunday Train Service in Rugby this weekend, passengers were smiling... 😀🚂@AvantiWestCoast @rugbyfirstltd @Warwickshire_CC

Only the two trunks remained last night, phew! Remember when there was a record store and a "sock shop" here? @NetworkRailEUS Good to clear the space!🪓

@BBCRadio3 @PetrocTrelawny kinda poetic justice (but for sad reasons) to go thru Stockton instead of big brother Darlington! Good improvisation @PetrocTrelawny (50m late) - and come visit us on the west coast "Premier Line" sometime #rugbystation

An unexpected diversion on our #TrainTracks journey has taken us through Stockton-on-Tees, where the modern railway began 200 years ago to the day. @PetrocTrelawny

Friday greetings from the home of the game 🏉#rugbystation @AvantiWestCoast @LNRailway

@Warwickshire_CC @AvantiWestCoast hello again @Warwickshire_CC @AvantiWestCoast - a "direct action team" from @RugbyRailUsers has now cleared the footway towards #rugbystation on Murray Road Rugby - there were wild rose thorns galore which were snagging on passengers clothing. You can thank us later 🪓😀

hello @Warwickshire_CC some of the overgrown footway on Murray Road Rugby has now been cleared by an "operative" from @RugbyRailUsers but we can't do it all... access to the @AvantiWestCoast station is still impaired, this is the main route to the station...

hey @Warwickshire_CC the footway from @AvantiWestCoast Rugby Station along Mill Road / Murray Road is overgrown right up to Barter Place, forcing people into the road - this was reported weeks ago, can you deal with this please? It is now setting off the overheight vehicle lights

@tobythetram @AlstomUK @LNRailway @NetworkRailBHM @NetworkRailEUS hmm - what we also saw here was an 8-car 350 replaced by a 5-car 730/2 🤔

Yesterday's first Class 730/2 @AlstomUK Aventra worked @LNRailway service from @NetworkRailBHM to @NetworkRailEUS Class 350/2 trains with high density seating are being replaced on this route by more comfortable Class 350/1/3/4 units, supplemented by the occasional Class 730/2
