🇱🇻 More than 200 km of the Rail Baltica mainline outside Riga (Phase I) is under contract, with around 30 km actively under construction. Across the Baltics, more than 40% of the #RailBaltica mainline is already under construction or construction ready.

'Absolute mess': Passengers stranded during West Midlands rail chaos trib.al/3uxrzEQ

A huge Well done to @tfwrail for running extra 153s #Shrewsbury -Wolverhampton return trains today to help Shropshire passengers on a busy Saturday!

Absolutely brilliant day onboard the inaugural Lumo West Coast press run 🚆✨ What a journey it was! Amazing atmosphere onboard, great conversations throughout the day, and incredible to see so much enthusiasm for this brand new operation. Days like this are always special, but this one meant even more. Watching @heather_waugh bring the train down from Stirling to Preston, spending time with some amazing people, and then welcoming my mum onboard at Crewe made it a day I’ll never forget 💙

A new arrival to the railway yesterday, a MK2 with 1+2 seating for eventual dining trains when the line is long enough, so safe to call this one a "long term" project

📈 Passenger rail transport in Europe continues to grow, with recent figures showing around a 6% yearly increase. Europe’s high speed rail network is expanding, and #RailBaltica is part of this future connectivity corridor linking the Baltics with the wider European rail network. 📍 Map/data story by Sebastian Gräff for @EurCorrespond: europeancorrespondent.com/en/r/on-high-s… #RailBaltica #CEFTransport #HighSpeedRail #EuropeanConnectivity
