This has one of the highest BCRs I’ve ever seen (>4 from memory). Absolute state that we cannot get this done asap.

Today Hochul & the MTA confirmed that the planned end-to-end runtime of the IBX has been cut a full 10 min down to 32 and projected ridership is up 41k to 160k/day. This is the power of grade separation and the All Faiths tunnel. Kudos to the Gov & MTA! youtube.com/live/EhaB99v4K…

Massive credit to Alstom UK & Ireland for hosting the The Greatest Gathering! Wonderful day with almost too much to see and do!

Norman Foster could never.

1. Anything approaching old Euston would be completely unfit for current, let alone future pass numbers while compromising the stations platform capacity. 2. £7.5bn includes the cost of everything between Euston and OOC, not just the station building. Penn has its own issues.

Freight operators look for ways to fit more London Gateway services onto congested route railmagazine.com/news/freight-o…

The first of the new Piccadilly line trains has been on a test trip through the tunnels, and you are guaranteed to smile when you see how it arrives at a tube station. ianvisits.co.uk/articles/first… ianvisits.co.uk/articles/first…

While Rhode Island's bus system will most likely see a 40% reduction in service, I'd like to show how much the governor's budget allocates to public transit versus the DOT.

Well….. it got swapped back to the original stock and they reinstated tbs food service. And OH MY GOSH Trafnidiaeth Cymru Trenau Transport for Wales Rail the food service and quality is out of this world and I would give it a 11/10! Honestly I’m surprised they don’t have a TfW restaurant serving this food!

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the the British Rail Advanced Passenger Train (APT) achieving a new British railway speed record in 1975, when it reached 152.3mph (245.1 km/h). To celebrate, we ran a model on our Vale scene! With Kit Spackman. buff.ly/RQUrUmW

Fine photography here showing why the HS2 Ltd Colne Valley Viaduct won the Engineering Award in our 2024 Building Beauty Awards, presented by HRH The Duke of Gloucester thetimes.com/article/d1a969…

Glasgow has far in a way the best rail network in the UK outside of London, not having unified prominent branding is a big missed opportunity.

HS2 to Crewe remains cancelled.

From Saturday 30 August, Huddersfield station will close for 30 days. ⚠️ The closure will facilitate major TRU upgrades as engineers remodel the tracks and platforms, strengthen Huddersfield viaduct and replace John William Street bridge. Signalling upgrades and track renewals

So we are going to have two completely seperate HS lines separated by the cheapest, easiest to build and best BCR section of HS2 that we still own the land for and WE STILL ARENT GOING TO JUST BUILD 2A! 🙃

I really like this specific part of Newcastle that looks like how someone from 1910 would imagine the future

First full version of Network Rail's new 'Beacon' type footbridge has just gone in at Trafnidiaeth Cymru Trenau Transport for Wales Rail's Abergavenny station. Modern, smart, some nice contextual ref, great new views, but most importantly: step-free access for all! Nice work Wales & Borders // Cymru a'r Gororau Arcadis UK & Monmouthshire / Sir Fynwy.

Really curious if anyone knows, does the replacement of Greek Street bridge (and I assume the removal of the central pillars) mean that in theory there is now space for 6 tracks into Stockport from the South?
