Caledonian Sleeper train to call at Birmingham International from January 2026! Makes waking up on Rannoch Moor, at Fort William, Inverness or Aberdeen an even easier opportunity for people of the West Mids. Good shout, @CalSleeper & @networkrail timetabling team!

HST day yesterday, with @GC_Rail on show. Also running were @GWRHelp & @networkrail , not normally seen on Walsall rails however I like the liveries and HSTs #TMRGUK

After the incredibly upsetting news about Matt Beard, videos like this become even more powerful and real. Please talk. Don’t suffer in silence.

Congratulations to Faye and Chris at @svrofficialsite , biggest smile of the week. Good luck for the future😊🥂🚂

Witnessed a GENIUS heritage visitor attraction idea today! Railway volunteers at @DockyardChatham have got their 1943 steam crane working – to let kids play Giant Hook-A-Duck: using semaphore flags to give instructions to the operator. Mildly chaotic, 💯 hilarious, 💯fun, & free!

#TMRGUK Newspapers for the Midlands and parcels for the Western region, on way before train gets split to go to the relevant regions
