Rail regulators at ORR have again rejected bids to run more trains from Euston to Blackpool (Avanti West Coast), Wrexham (WSMR) and Rochdale (Lumo) citing lack of capacity at southern end of West Coast Main Line. This was same reason for July 2025’s rejection.

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/news/derai… #Derailment #WaltonOnThames #Surrey

Welcome to the Darjeelingtank twitter feed. I'm being auctioned and a Trust has been set up to buy and operate me following my owner's sad death. I was built in 1889 in Glasgow's Atlas Works and we are starting fundraising. Please RT to spread the word.

This is the most wonderful locomotive on the most idiosyncratic little railway. The garden layout of the late Adrian Shooter. I so hope it finds a loving home.

Close-up: landslip at Hook with @NetworkRailWssx Not a lot holding that track in place… The plastic tube houses fibre-optic cables of considerable importance: this is a south of England artery in more ways than one.

This narrow gauge railway in Slovakia is the only railway which passes through the middle of a soccer stadium🧐

We are currently at the scene of a train crash involving two trains between Andover and Salisbury.
We are responding with the fire and ambulance service at the site close to London Road, Salisbury.
Will update as soon as we have more information.

We need to promote this vigorously given the short timescale, so please forgive me reposting it. If any of team RAIL felt inclined to retweet I’d appreciate that!

Bit of on train footage with cube. First go at this. I learned something. Some track is quite poor and shockingly laid. It also shows where I need to catch up with finishing off scenics. Any way. Watch out for the cat. 31111 goes to rescue 33206 (2 parts) #TMRGUK #CatsOfTwitter

Serious incident at Bromsgrove last night. 66057, the banking locomotive to help heavy freight trains up the Lickey incline rolled down the hill and was derailed by the catch points. Stopping still half in the path of the mainline. It was hit by a XC 170 at 80mph and side swiped!

The gang involved in this near-miss were on zero-hour contracts and felt they could not complain about unsafe working practices because they would lose work and pay. This must be addressed from the very top of Network Rail.
