Good to hear you're coming back Signals to Danger - The UK rail disaster podcast and its worth the wait for content as excellent as you put out, especially enjoyed your #Morpeth1984 episode about #MorpethCurve and why #MorpethDiversion is needed for safety.

Seconded!

📸 Our first new Metro train is on the test track over at Velim in the Czech Republic. This is unit 001 - the one of the 46 that we have on order from Stadler. In just a few weeks the first new Metro train will be here! #NewTrains #MetroFutures

This is another reason the #MorpethDiversion makes sense; the branch to #Bedlington from #Morpeth on the #ECML cannot realistically be transformed into a #FlyingJunction, but by bypassing #Morpeth (& perhaps #Pegswood too) you'd reduce through traffic-making it less of an issue.

Happy Sunday all! Awesome colour in the sky before sunrise (23.11.22) #Newcastle

Network Rail expects to reopen the lines from Newcastle and Skipton into Carlisle from Wednesday December 7. A derailment closed the line on October 19. NR had to repair its bridge over the River Petteril with 125 tonnes of concrete after recovering the derailed freight wagons.

Very sorry to hear that former Chiltern Railways MD, Adrian Shooter has died. A railway manager who transformed the railway out of London Marylebone. He certainly left his mark. Condolences to his family & RIP.

I am out in Zurich to see the newly opened sections of #Limmattalbahn. Amazing to see the line already busy. Build high quality infrastructure and they will come.

Very disappointed to see Dennis Waterman and Bernard Cribbins - one the real life son of a railway ticket collector, the other film's most beloved fictional station master - absent from BAFTA's in memoriam segment last night. So we're remembering them here instead. #BAFTA2023

On the year 2000, the city of Nancy🇫🇷 opened its TVR. The 1st ever "tram on rubber tires" seemed a promising new form of public transport In March 2023, the Nancy TVR, the last system of its kind, will be shut down This public transport "fail" well deserved a visit & thread📸🚎
