Cambridge South: the rail side is fast coming to completion - so are its two public entrances. Left photo shows the progress up to the east side concourse; that on the right shows the cycle and foot path completed to the west side concourse all the way across Hobson Park.

Up to nine trains an hour will run between the new #CambridgeSouth station and Cambridge when it opens in early 2026. All passing services are expected to call at the station from day one – giving you even more journeys: ➡️ https://t.co/xfTbGu0SyI

End-on view of the #HS2 Wendover Dean Viaduct from the south. You can get this view from the diversionary footpath around the Bowood Lane crossing, but it will not last long, as soon the Bowood Lane overbridge is now complete and the footpath will presumably be directed over it.

First refurbished @CrossCountryUK 170! It's good - a smart and elegant design that feels quite office like, in contrast to the old interior. Seats are well raked and comfortable, though it would have been nice to have the declassified section's slightly nicer cushions throughout.

This is the best summary of the current geopolitical situation I have seen. Sir Alex Younger was head of MI6 between 2014 and 2020. Really worth watching.
