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.....

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?

Still waiting for your detailed written critique of precisely what you are referring to?

Actually, yes extremely relevant.

Can you, for the avoidance of doubt and absolute clarity, drill down into the actual detail please and not just vague headlines.

Phil Marsh @marshrail.bsky.social · 01/06/2026
I'm still waiting for the details not generalities of the safety issues please.
