North East Railway Duck

@alexhornbyrail @northernassist Top North East team there Alex. Few old colleagues use to see at Eaglescliffe

Team Northern at Bedlington, the newest station on Britain’s railway, changing lives for the better here in the North East 💙

@chriscollins462 Pre covid 10 coaches every Friday on A66 and N96 were the norm. Might be ahead of March weekend work were they can't access Tyne Yard so have to wait for service to come up from KGX before heading back.

So it looks like Grand Central are doing some 10 car 180 testing tomorrow on the Durham Coast. realtimetrains.co.uk/search/detaile… Why? I don't know, but interesting nevertheless.

@PhillyDunn @GC_Rail Tollerton junction being worked on between Northallerton and York so no trains running between the 2 both bank holiday weekends in May.

Hi @GC_Rail are you running trains from Sunderland to Kings Cross on Sunday May 3rd?? Cheers!

@mark395625 Always a shock when opening up Northallerton at 0515 when it sails through. Always chuckle and think that somethings gone wrong somewhere.

The Caledonian sleeper, 1M16 that left Inverness last night at 2045, is still at Peterborough with some defect. This is three hours after it was scheduled to make a crewing stop.

Wow. Brian Brobbey scores his first Sunderland goal deep into added time to send us level!!! [2-2] #SUNARS

@mark395625 Ah yes along with being presented a Network Railcard in teesside every other week.

Well thats a first. Passenger asks for a return to London and presents a Dales Railcard. But its valid anytime in Yorkshire! London isn't in Yorkshire.

@mark395625 @seatsixtyone @philatrail Always say that if we're getting a hefty document to explain it to us then it's not something that's making things easier for passengers.

@seatsixtyone @philatrail You should see the 11 page document staff got that tells us how to deal with people who boarded a train other than the one booked with a FLX70 ticket.... even I'm confused about it.

Looks like LNER plans to introduce insurance for people buying rail tickets. In a market engagement notice it says: “For a small fee, passengers would be able to protect their ticket purchase and claim a refund if they are unable to travel due to eligible, unforeseen events.”

@facesh1elds @conductorluke We have a 1651 lner at NTR occupying the platform. Also in other direction NTR doesn't have a 1605 TPE to Redcar as we have a Grand Central occupying platform 2 at around the same time.

@conductorluke Is NTR closed?

Seen here at Eaglescliffe are 185141 & 185121 working 1P80 Redcar to Manchester Airport mine as far as York. No Northallerton too on this trip. Have a fab Sunny Sunday everyone #work #class185 #railway

The excitement builds as the hard work continues, with the ground taking shape 🏏👏📅

@Clinnick1 @GC_Rail @HitachiRailENG Amazed at how quietly this all is from GC. Haven't seen any comms from them celebrating extended access rights or anything

Nine 5-car tri-modes will be introduced by @GC_Rail from 2028. Built by @HitachiRailENG at Newton Aycliffe, the new fleet will be funded by Angel Trains. This follows the decision to approve GC access rights until 2038.

Scarborough Cricket Ground.... Best in the world...looking fabulous in the sunshine today @BumbleCricket @GeoffreyBoycott @bbctms

It's nearly that time again! Let's hope it's as good as last year's game 🏉🍻🤟

@ChimeWhistle @RAIL Hasn't their job title changed. They are advertising for 'customer relations advisors' now I believe at stations.

Just been told by a railway insider that Northern has backed down from its proposal to cut ticket office staff at one big station, but in return is instead going to push for a “change in working practices”. Quite what these changes are is uncertain at the moment. @RAIL

@WrestleClips Maven never got eliminated 2002 royal rumble still active to this day

@TM_James_ @LNER I got one (for the kids) did pack 1 but have lost the instructions 😬

I really want one 😭 @LNER

@merc5555 @LNER Nope sorry that's not true. We get more direct trains to London. Every hour.

@LNER So trains from Northallerton to London drop from 9 per day to zero? I fail to see why you’re proud of that.

LNER and the rail industry are proud to announce a new timetable for the East Coast Main Line. This will see faster journey times between London and Edinburgh and an increase from 5 to 6 trains per hour between London and Newcastle. Learn more: spkl.io/6016fbfI4

@NEMartijn With it being under the Lumo brand would this mean 1 class throughout or still looking at 1st class on the Carmarthen services?

@ChrisLewin @Tweed_Barnesy I did 2 hours clearing at ntr from 6 till 8 turned round and it had all laid again 🤣

I tried my best, @Tweed_Barnesy. ❄️ 🥶
