What a landmark year it’s been! From Railway 200 celebrations with cakes and tea parties to festivals, stunning murals, train namings and commemorative stamps - we’ve honoured the past, celebrated the present, and looked to the future. 🎉 Catch some of the highlights in our reel below and relive some unforgettable moments. Thanks for being part of the journey! Share your photos and videos with us of how you celebrated here railway200.co.uk/get-involved/y… Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/oyfvrDZ5dOE #Railway200

Great work by this cross-industry team to oversee delivery in the first week of the new East Coast Main Line timetable - many months (years!) of planning, preparation, simulation and training have ensured a smooth introduction of the new timetable. Thank you!

☺️ We had the pleasure of welcoming @nickyebrennan to the station this morning for our #WhiteRibbonDay event 📸 Councillor Brennan delivered a really powerful poem that she has written in support of the campaign, as well as signing our pledge wall 🤍 ➡️ gloo.to/FfVP

@RHummBooks @Marshrail It’s from the National Railway Museum collection; I’m grateful for the loan. On the other side of Liverpool Street is another Stanhope Forbes of a train crossing Marazion Marshes, also a loan from the NRM.

@Marshrail @LordPeterHendy That's it. Picture by Stanhope Forbes.

I love @lordpeterhendy's station picture but I can't place it. Does anyone know where?

It was another haul for our County Lines Taskforce after they spotted a 17-year-old boy behaving suspiciously at Brighton station this week: ❌ Large amount of heroin ⚠️ Corrosive substance 💷 Hundreds of £s 📱 Line phone Using the railway to deal drugs? We’re coming for you.

We're bringing train fares and ticketing into the 21st century. Trials of digital ticketing are rolling out across the East Midlands, meaning you'll get the best on the day fares without the hassle. 🚆👇 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It’s almost like we’re putting the railway back together! 😊

@heather_waugh @MalcolmGroup Good luck, Heather! Peter

It's almost time to hang up the title of 'Scotlands only female freight train driver'. It's been the most amazing 7 years. My 4th last shift driving, and a pleasure to drive our @MalcolmGroup service. I'm just coming through a 30 line speed at Holytown here #3ToGo

@PaulMBigland @AndyRoden1 Your evidence of that? Peter

@AndyRoden1 @LordPeterHendy He's saying what he has to. Not necessarily what he believes. He's also ignoring that HS speeds are ramping up around the world..

Man, this country just gets more & more embarrassing. Around the world, nations are battling each other to have the fastest trains, but in the UK, our only aim is to recreate the Victorian era! Get the Stephenson Rocket back out trundling at 30mph. What a nob Hendy really is 🤣

Yesterday, this cute little dog managed to get onto the tracks in the Ewell area. We stopped @SW_Help trains and our teams went to pick up the dog and took it to the vets. We ask pet owners to please keep track of their animals whether at home or on the railway.

An honour to meet Kenya’s President @WilliamsRuto to discuss the major urban regen project, Nairobi Railway City, inspired by King’s Cross. We covered how UK expertise can keep supporting the ambitious flagship project in the UK-Kenya Strategic Partnership @UKinKenya

Thrilled that my new illustrated book "200 Years of Britain’s Railways in 14 Journeys", exploring the rich legacy of our railways is out on 25 September. With foreword from the legendary @LordPeterHendy. You can preorder on geni.us/BritainsRailwa… (more details soon) #railway200

🚨BIG NEWS: this afternoon I introduced groundbreaking legislation to put a rocket booster under Sustainable Aviation Fuel production in the UK. Our nation is now a world leader in pioneering green flights, and creating high skilled and cutting edge jobs in the process 💪

Please contact @NRHAwd if interested in this position.

Today I visited the £13bn transformative @theTRUupgrade project with @MayorOfWY, and supported the @RailwayChildren Sleepout at Leeds. Oh, and said hullo to @FelixhuddsCat Bolt at Huddersfield station.

Today the Rail Minister got to meet @FelixhuddsCat at Huddersfield - not sure who was happier! @TPExpressTrains

Great to celebrate a year of success at #HenleyinArden station. This was a year ago today when ⁦@LordPeterHendy⁩ opened the renovated station. Since then £15k has been given to local good causes👍

🗣️ The launch of today’s consultation is a significant step towards redesigning the railway around the needs of everyone who uses it. We know that passengers want a more reliable, affordable and accessible service. Have your say and help shape the future of our railways. 👇

@C20thPosters Just please don’t cut it up! Lovely trolley is blind from Highgate Depot!

This might be too big for the shop
