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,

Did you know British Rail installed an auto announcer on the InterCity 225 which is still in place on our trains? 🔈

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.

Ultimately, no party particularly likes railways. The railways are, however, great as a useful political football. Politicians, of all parties, talk about going green etc while looking at ways to cut rail funding. Talk is cheap.

It turns out David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Boris Johnson, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher & Harold Wilson all appeared on TV programmes.

This monorail is completely driverless by the way, for all those right wing weapons who think we can have driverless trains running at 125mph on our Victorian built railway 👍
Hope everybody is ok in this incident but that train did not react to the danger in front of it
