Here's a snap of another class 484 train arriving onto the Isle of Wight as part of the Island Line upgrade programme 🚢🚆 Once the train is at Ryde depot, commissioning, testing and training will continue. Head to the project page to find out more 👇 bit.ly/3ftjBFr







Now that’s what you call ‘working together’! @GNRailUK 700001 and @LNER 801221 arriving at King’s Cross in perfect synchronicity - the first trains through Gasworks Tunnel east bore at 0450 this morning, open again after 44 years of being closed. Well done @ECMLupgrade team!




With the retirement of our HSTs in May, it would have been a shame to not have a power car re-liveried in our EMR brand colours. 43274 is the only unique purple HST to enter service 43274 joins our Intercity Swallow 43102 as the only EMR-operated power car with unique liveries

🇷🇺 Fortunately Russian trains are built like their tanks.

Back in the saddle today delivering the first of @ScotRail ‘s converted 153’s. When we can travel again you can get on yer bike on the WHL!
