@InterCity86101⁩ Avanti West Coast Relief Mk3 rake reminds us all what we’ve lost. Every seat has a window. Seats are comfy; aisles wide; luggage space available; plentiful bike & oversize storage in DVT; a triumph of British design & engineering - well refurbished by LSL

@_doublearrow⁩ There’s a lot going on here. Surely these at each platform are superfluous if the existing wayfinding design is correctly done.

Richmond station is a treasure trove of proudly-displayed ⁦@_doublearrow⁩ posters of yesteryear. The GatEx adaption is particularly special! 1/2

@RateMyBuffers⁩ Woking, Windsor and Slough. Impressive at Windsor & Eton Riverside but a significant loss in available / usable platform length, despite the structural length available. And then there’s the operational length. Define a platform length…

@WorldBollard⁩ One is never enough.

Mixed fortunes from the South. There’s one clear favourite. A touchdown and a conversion at the home of rugby (minus the atypical superfluous “station”) ⁦@_doublearrow

@_doublearrow⁩ At Chester, what was once the station clock is now a proud double arrow symbol

@RailwaySymmetry⁩ Capturing the normal before it becomes abnormal. A pair of Avanti West Coast Voyagers at Chester, already debranded and ready to be sent off lease imminently, in favour of IET bi mode traction

🎟️ Your periodic reminder that Trainline is a broker, an agent, a mere middleman. Their model relies on hidden fees, deceptive ticket options, and overpriced fares. They put nothing back into the railways. Don't. Use. Trainline! x.com/RMTunion/statu…


20 years ago today, Ufton Nervet saw all equipment working as designed; no human error, maintenance standards being met & tolerable operational risk. Tragic unintended consequences of a person in a desperate place. If you’re struggling, reach out for help. Samaritans 116 123.

Remembering those who died or whose lives changed forever in the dreadful train crash at Ufton Nervet at 1811 on 6 November 2004. Exactly 20 years ago at this spot.

And at Clapham Jn (sadly the only Clapham Jn in the country these days, with the loss of the Yorkshire one), laminate #railalphabet2 running-in boards greet passengers, with a view of Central London beyond @GBR_Signage @_doublearrow
