Oh come on…seriously? On Remembrance Sunday?
Do we just assume this is a six-days-a-week railway?

We’re investigating the derailment of a passenger train after it struck a piece of redundant rail on a railway access point on the approach to Walton‑on‑Thames station on 4 March 2024 gov.uk/government/new… #Derailment #WaltonOnThames #Surrey

@seatsixtyone Don’t forget to add the cost of getting to KX to the train fare also.

It's not looking good. This is London-Edinburgh for Monday. All these trains would have been £87 (refundable, with far greater flexibility) before the 'simpler fares' trial (remember to add £20 to the air fare for train London to Luton + £5 for tram from airport into Edinburgh):

You don't appreciate what you have - and have had for decades - until someone takes it away, do you?

The passenger who took this pic last night ended up getting a taxi from London to the New Forest. That’s a £300 bill for @SW_Help to reimburse. Imagine that multiplied by everyone you can see here.

London Waterloo this evening, with @SW_Help advising these passengers to get taxis instead, to Winchester and beyond. At the last count, 7 fallen trees were blocking various routes. #StormHenk Thanks @BrionyLeylandtv for the pic. @LondonWaterloo

@NetworkRailWssx @SW_Help What hit it then? Engineers discovered; or engineers caused?

⚠️We're really sorry for the disruption to @SW_Help customers after our engineers discovered structural defects to a pedestrian footbridge over the railway near Woking today. 👇 /1

Citizens of the United Kingdom. It is our solemn duty to start eating Tunnock’s delicious products as much as possible. A world without Tunnock’s would not be worth living in! Please retweet.

This is bad. It really should not happen: the potential consequences are obvious. On the Great Western east of Swindon Swindon a few days ago. And again on the Great Western near Slough overnight last night. @networkrailwest @GWRHelp

The revamped Gatwick Station has been inaugurated today, 23,919 days after the station opened on 27 May 1958. Around this time, the new airport facilities were being finished.
It was claimed that Gatwick was the 1st airport in the world to have mainline rail & road connections.

Something that fascinates me is the way respected TOC managers continued to promote Ticket Office closures as necessary and offering better services to passengers, after 750,000 objections had been received and it was clear ministers would disown them. A form of mass hysteria?

@GarethDennis Baggage/buggy provision also needs to address the anxiety of not being able to see your possessions from your seat.
English
@railnetwork Oh I see - in fairness, it works pretty well in the 700s as they are so spacious inside. On longer distance trains, this approach can also work if it's up at one end of the train.
English
@GarethDennis Yes. Because clambering over and around other people’s baggage and buggies in the passenger area, because there is no storage, is not an attractive proposition.
