We polled UK women and found 85% have never considered a job in rail - 8/10 women missing out on amazing jobs. Our workforce is 42% female, so to celebrate #IWD2020 our most iconic service, the Flying Scotsman, will run as the Flying ScotsWOMAN in March. All female crew today!

Proud to work for London North Eastern Railway who are passionate about creating an inclusive culture and supporting women to have fantastic careers in our industry #IWD2020 #EqualforEqual #inclusion scotsman.com/news/transport…

Is Rail doing enough to recruit women? As we launch the Flying Scotswoman to mark #IWD2020, we reflect on LNER's efforts encourage women into traditionally male roles. An amazing 85% of women are not aware of the fantastic opportunities rail offers. #EachForEqual Female sign

A historic morning – spent aboard the first ever London North Eastern Railway #FlyingScotswoman train from Edinburgh to London ahead of #IWD2020. It was a privilege to listen to and learn from so many women in rail as we travelled. Here’s the team at King's Cross - with driver Mel centre stage!

Lovely to catch-up with the Women in Rail regional leaders. We have plenty of virtual initiatives coming to your region in the next few weeks. Take care, stay safe and see you virtually very soon x

Proud of our teams who are supporting key workers. Huge thank you to you all.

Huge well done to Faye Palmer from Network Rail on winning the Women in Rail quiz. Great to virtually connect with so many colleagues from across the industry. Have great bank holiday weekends everyone 😊

This is a shocking comment. Sharing it shines a light on how inappropriate it is and helps raise awareness to unacceptable behaviours.

As a child I felt the shame of having dinner tickets for free school meals & a state issued uniform from the ‘Education Shop’. My mum & step dad are good people, they didn’t want to be out of work. It’s about time people like this started to understand the concept of privilege!🤦🏻‍♀️

There's a huge reason why a certain type of Tory *needs* to believe that poverty is the result of behaviour & choices rather than dumb luck & entrenched inequality. It lets them pretend that their own unearned privilege isn't also the result of dumb luck & entrenched inequality.

Forget piers walking off. Listen to Alex. He’s superb.

Anybody racially abusing Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka on social media tonight is not a patriot. *You* are why they take a knee. Racist cowards should feel the full force of the law and social media companies must do more to keep this poison off their platforms.

This is why we take the knee. Praying for a better future - worthy of the values, beauty and respect exemplified by every single England player.

The Petition calling for Philip Allott North Yorkshire PFCC to resign after comments following the Sarah Everard murder sentencing hearing is now heading for 2,500. That’s up nearly 1500 since 3pm Change.org

Your misogynistic comments are a disgrace. Show some respect to Sarah’s family who live in the community you serve! Please sign the petition for him to resign! Privileged misogynistic 🦕 should not be in these positions. Enough is enough! change.org/p/philip-allot…

Can someone help. I haven’t received my tickets for tonight’s Public Service Broadcasting gig. I’ve contacted Music Glue email but not had a response can someone help?
