A @gwr.com IEP headed east today to Forders Siding at Kempston Hardwick near Bedford. A preview of a Bristol to Bedford service perhaps given Bristol drivers now sign to Oxford and Milton Keynes ready for the November diversions via EWR to/from Euston.

Great idea and will save lives and injuries. 30 seconds of your time is miniscule price to pay.

@stuntbutt.bsky.social The August 1997 Railway Magazine reported 2000. I launched the project in 2000 for Railtrack... I think The Kinks song Tired of Waiting is possibly very apt!

The @hs2ltd.bsky.social civils' works are well underway as can be seen at Calvert today. Even grabbed a pic of a @chilternrailway.bsky.social train crossing HS2! The employment that will come to Calvert will boost the area with high paid skilled jobs.

The Snowdon Mountain Railway is featured in the latest Heritage Railway magazine. The inside story of the modernising of Clogwyn loop at 2550 feet up the mountain in the worst winter for years. The ride out on a Works train was awesome! Read all about it.....

Usual story, doing picture research and came up with this little bit of railway history.

I must be mistake, I'm sure I heard Trump say they had won the war some months ago. Maybe I'm deluded and he's just wrong?

The Major government has blood on its hands from the 1993 Railways act. I do wonder how much things would have changed had a crash with the same magnitude and characteristics as Ladbroke Grove happened in some northern town, rather than in West London with plentiful access to live news crews…

ODAY marks the 30th anniversary of Railtrack being floated on the stock market. Fortunes were made and lost. Far more importantly lives were lost in the dash for commerciality at the expense of safety. This was probably the worst privatisation of the Conservative era. Discuss!

To celebrate 333 followers, here's 333001. And looks suspiciously like a certain Mr waterman waiting to be collected. Who abandoned me from the cab when Scots Guardsman too charge of its inaugural guest's only train in August 2008.

@gwr.com & @chilternrailway.bsky.social ran trains between Oxford & Milton Keynes this afternoon. Who will run the 1st public passenger trains though? Gratuitous pic of a charter train on Bletchley flyover in 2012.

On 3rd March the 1st train movement over the new automated S&C at Clogwyn, carried out over the winter took place. Amazing day out & urge everyone to visit the line. Simply stunning. @visitwales.bsky.social @railwayarch.bsky.social @railwayheritage.bsky.social @snowdoniaem.bsky.social

While not in any way shape or form ignoring the horror, tragedy and sorrow in this, it was a car crash that involved the railway. Not a rail crash/accident.

A year ago saw the first train carrying passengers between Bicester & Milton Keynes. #westcoastrailways operated this and another half a dozen or so since then. @chilternrailway.bsky.social have yet to announce a start date for services despite announcing they were to be the operators last March.
