Nothing says #WelcometoButlins, like watching a mother screaming and swearing at a 6 month old baby. Telling it to shut the fxck up and your pi55ing me off. @Butlins #BognorRegis, #Bognor.

A squirrel in Stirling found a Tunnock's Caramel Wafer on the wet pavement and sat down to eat it like it was his. He looks like he'll survive the winter nicely, [📸: Jared Bowe (via IG)]

Remind me,what is the difference between a Tamper and an 8 or 12 Car Thameslink 700?
Just been sent this on WhatsApp. So glad I don't have to live in Brighton anymore. Drunk woman boards a Tamper mistaking it for a Thameslink service. 😂 @Captain_Deltic @John_The_Fitter @TLRailUK @tlupdates @13milepost

Did you know British Rail installed an auto announcer on the InterCity 225 which is still in place on our trains? 🔈 Our new real time Class 91 cab journey from London to Newcastle has some authentic recorded announcements in full. We'll be watching along live from 14:30 today!

Anyone up for a can of worms?
It should be illegal to declassify First Class when trains are busy. I don't pay extra for First Class tickets just to mingle with those who elect to travel steerage.

EMR conductors may strike, following a number of incidents where threats have been made to them while checking tickets. RMT has asked EMR to draw up a plan of action to protect staff. A ballot will be held if "the company's plan be non forthcoming or inadequate."

It's hard to believe the Northampton to London route used to feature a few peak hours locomotive hauled services. The "Cobbler" existed up until 1990 as a peak hour premium alternative to the boring and austere multiple units used on the route. How things have changed!

Strike action (RMT) at Chiltern Railways to take place on 12 November, regarding East West Rail dispute over guards. Same day as England plays Croatia at Wembley. No Mk 5s out and no trains to/from Stourbridge. Expect lots of short formed and cancelled services.

Just had a passenger come up to me in a right old state, tells me his brother has just died and needs help getting to Nottingham, I get out my phone and work handset and print him off a guide to change at Nuneaton and Leicester, I guess with DOO he'd have to find his own way?
