#OnThisDay 135 years ago the Easingwold branch line formally opened, public opening was two days later. This image at Easingwold could easily be from the Victorian era but is in fact from 1946, two years before passenger services ceased. Walter Dendy buff.ly/Ash9tYq
ALT One-coach train from Alne at Easingwold, 1946. The buffers are off frame to the left. This was the terminus of the independent Easingwold Light Railway from Alne, which survived until 29/11/48 for passengers, 30/12/57 for goods. The locomotive is No.2, built Hudswell-Clarke 1903, rebuilt 1924, withdrawn 1947. The coach is 1890 vintage ex-Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway.

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.
It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

The Fire Brigades Union has made a statement on the proposed EHRC Code of Practice on Services.
Our message is clear. Equality matters, solidarity is essential, and we will continue to fight for both.

#OnThisDay 31 years ago 'Motorail' services ceased: they allowed at their peak 100k passengers and their cars per year to travel the UK by train, although the GWR Night Riviera carried cars 1999-2005, providing a brief return of sorts. Dave Hitchborne buff.ly/s2QV0DK

The owner of LSL, Jeremy Hoskings, is one of Reform's biggest donors & has invited the likes of Tommy Robinson & Lawrence Fox onto railtours...
The actual staff who keep LSL running are likely decent human beings, but sadly a lot of the profit will be going to fund Reform.

🚖 There are thousands of cabs operating on Wolverhampton plates all over the country. Your local council can't spot check the vehicle or the driver. This is 'cross-border hiring'. It undercuts the earnings of local drivers and it raises safety concerns for passengers.

Had a fantastic day @Beamish_Museum as always your team were super friendly and very welcoming. I got complemented by both staff and visitors by my efforts in looking the part.
@BenjaminBus1 & his Hoom had fun too

I think many of you are wondering about @BenjaminBus1 well after a nice drive from #Swindon back home he has been catching up with his buddy Sitch who isn't online
@SwindonBusCo don't fear. @BenjaminBus1 & I (and his Hoom) love your service. Your buses are super clean & your driving team are great . We are involved in the industry but sadly our staff passes aren't valid this far from home, so we have found your app tickets great value
Was rather hoping for a King or a Castle. Oh well first class it is then. #GoingGreatWestern
