Yesterday, @GWRHelp's Battery Train broke the world record for the furthest a battery train has travelled on a single charge - 200 miles!   GWR’s achievement was part of the @railway200 celebrations   Here is an illustration that I designed to mark this fantastic achievement!

Last year, @GWRHelp invited me to learn how the construction of @HS2ltd will impact their services I joined a testing day at @DidcotRailwayC, which was a great insight into the railway's preparations for the HS2 works Read more about my experience here: everythingtrains.co.uk/hs2wo…

Merry Christmas 🎄 My Christmas Card this year features my latest Art Deco print of the Great Orme Tramway in Llandudno, North Wales. To make it feel more Christmassy, I altered it to create a wintery scene I hope you enjoy celebrating today in whichever way works best for you!

Here's another wonderful prize for the Main draw... Sam, who goes by @the_railways on Twitter, has been a huge supporter of all that we do since we started - he even designed our logo for us and has done work for train companies like GWR, ScotRail and many others. Once again, Sam is offering his time and considerable expertise to create a bundle of unique railway-themed greetings cards and posters for our lucky winner. Thank you, Sam! railwayfamily.co.uk

Today I had a little trip along the River Severn to Chepstow to try out one of @tfwrail's new class 197 trains! It was my first time on a train this year, and it was a nice journey to build up my confidence in travelling by train again 🚅 @TonyP146 @paulrgentleman @heather_waugh

Great to see you too @TonyP146! I was just passing Gloucester station after a difficult appointment so a bit of time with you and some good trains was very much needed! It was really lovely to catch up and hopefully we can arrange something again soon 😊
Great to catch up with Sam and Donna at Gloucester. @anxious_sam800 @DonnaSm17549729
