Railway worker. Get out and about a lot.


A Restore Britain Government would back British drivers. How? Raise the speed limit on motorways to 80mph. Remove all 20mph zones, other than those outside schools or areas with vulnerable individuals. Our current 70 mph speed limit was implemented decades ago, for a completely different type of car with completely different capabilities - far lower safety standards, poorer braking, and less advanced handling. It is unnecessarily slow, plenty of other countries sensibly allow for more. 80mph is faster and fair, and Restore Britain would do the unthinkable - trust people to get on with their lives without such overbearing state interference. It boosts business, backs drivers and gets Britain moving. Support Restore Britain to make it 80.

@CraigTheTrain @AnonSocials @rose_phil @railnigel If we bring in empties and I not the driver taking it out again, I don't release the doors. The next driver who'll be in charge of that service will do it during their mobilisation. It's best to leave it locked, passengers have a habit of getting on trains that are going nowhere.

Unfortunately Kimi’s onboard camera had a technical issue part way through his lap, meaning we are unable to bring you the lap onboard in full. To analyse his lap, please see our ghost car comparison with a full lap onboard view from George Russell’s fastest qualifying effort here - x.com/F1/status/2037…
