Today is the fifth anniversary of the tragic derailment at Carmont, when we lost our colleagues Brett McCullough and Donald Dinnie, and passenger Christopher Stuchbury. Our thoughts are with their friends, families, and everyone across the railway family affected by the tragedy. We will never forget.

😠Please make sure garden items are secure during #StormÉowyn This errant trampoline in Aughton is diverting our teams away from attending other incidents. It could cause a serious safety risk to our passengers, workers and members of the public.

#StormEowyn – the rail industry has taken the difficult decision to close some lines. This includes north of Preston on the West Coast Main Line and north of Newcastle on the East Coast Main Line, affecting Anglo-Scots services: networkrailmediacentre.co.uk… nationalrail.co.uk/
Red graphic about Storm Eowyn and its impact on rail services. The main copy reads: The rail industry has taken the difficult decision to close some lines. This includes north of Preston on the West Coast Main Line and north of Newcastle on the East Coast Main Line, affecting Anglo-Scots services. Other lines in Northern England, Scotland and North Wales may close at short notice so passengers are urged to keep up-to-date with the latest travel information and alternative transport options. These can be found on National Rail Enquiries or train company social media channels and websites.

Due to #PremierLeague club owners greed & #FA lack of a backbone, Tamworth have been denied a memorable #FACup replay at Spurs. Forget about the financial rewards of such a tie, those Tamworth players have been denied the opportunity to play at a top stadium ... and for what?

Any removal of the £2 bus fare cap will disproportionately impact those on the low incomes. While £2 is loose change for the bean counters, who probably never travel on a bus, it’s a big deal for the poorest in our communities. #keepthecap

There will be a one-minute silence at 12pm today [22 May], then again at 10.31pm this evening. This is to remember those killed in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack. Trams will pause outside Victoria and resume once each silence has ended.
