Have your say on ticket offices CLOSURES Not ‘How they are staffed' Bad enough @RailDeliveryGrp disingenuously promote consultation as ‘Take part in the consultation on changes to how tickets are sold' This is about cost savings by destaffing stations + cutting over 2300 jobs
Have your say on how ticket offices are staffed. Deadline is this Friday 1 Sep (23:59)

I am so, so glad someone has finally posted this video. It says it all:
This shocking CCTV footage shows the moment a lorry struck overhead lines, causing the disruption this week between Stanford-le-Hope and Pitsea. Please take care around level crossings and railways, if you drive a vehicle check you know the height restrictions.

HS2's Old Oak Common station, as currently specified, is capable of terminating around 3tph. It is being built that way as we speak. Redesigning and rebuilding it to cope with even half of the proposed HS2 service will cost more than scrapping Euston. https://t.co/3MrAXX2a2y

These devices perform the same electrical function- to MAKE and BREAK charging, load and fault current. The left one works at 230V. The right one at 275,000 volts. The design challenges in both are arc control, restrike mitigation and thermal withstand capacity 💁🏻♂️⚡️

Please share this. We need transparency in our decarbonisation policies. Every year £billions of tax funding get spent on the transport system. We have to spend them on the right things UK government blocks release of CO2 figures behind transport plan

Exclusive: DfT refuses to publish emission figures, which campaigners say could make new road projects unviable

Taking to a young engineer last night, he said that a certain large engineering firm he's interacted with is pushing the narrative that "you can't be an engineer without a degree". For the avoidance of doubt, and to use the word du jour - this is bollocks.

LNER and EMR already back to pre-COVID sardines loading, and yet it's the Eastern leg of HS2 that got cancelled 🤔
Our latest quarterly statistics show that @LNER has recovered to a level of usage greater than before the pandemic, with @EastMidRailway returning to near pre-pandemic levels. Read more here: https://t.co/ei3YsnvxxA
