Here’s something you don’t see every day - an @LNER Azuma in Bedford.

It was on test last night - as we look for new ways to keep people moving when the East Coast route’s shut for engineering work.

Small step, but could mean a lot more flexibility down the line.

@mindthoughts15u @GNRailUK If you explain why you are late, believe they should allow you on to a later train with your original ticket @GNRailUK - can you confirm?

[Great Northern @GNRailUK]

⚠️ We have been made aware of industrial action taking place, affecting London Underground services tomorrow, the 2nd of June.

@MarkMiddleton37 @Captain_Deltic There will be increased drivers numbers this year - second post here https://t.co/e5e8pKgFZH not sure about within 100 days though.

[Great Northern @GNRailUK]

Over the coming months, we’ll be rolling out lots of initiatives to improve the service we offer our customers.  (2/3)

@gceccles @StephenMorganMP Believe it is GatEx trains to Victoria, not overall Gatwick trains - that detail got dropped somehow

[Great Northern @GNRailUK]

⚠️ Finsbury Park station is closed due to overcrowding.

❗️ If you are travelling to or from this station, you will need to use an alternative route to reach your destination.

[Thameslink @TLRailUK]

Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express have transferred into public ownership today to deliver more reliable, passenger-centred services across the network 👇 (1/3)

[David Wheatley @davwheat_]

Happy DfT Operator day to @SouthernRailUK and the rest of the Govia-- I mean Greater Thameslink Railway family.

[Committee HART @CommitteeHart]

@sammhardy @GNRailUK They usually close Drayton Park when there are major events at the Emirates, as it can't cope with large numbers. Trains are showing in https://t.co/bBAijUwjK5 (other websites available) as running, but not stopping there. Looks like you will need to go to Finsbury Park.

[Committee HART @CommitteeHart]

@ChimeWhistle There is a Facebook page https://t.co/yEEicCA1lW

[London TravelWatch @LonTravelWatch]

Another Tube strike is planned for next week 🚇 ⛔

Unless called off it will cause significant disruption, although this will vary across the network

The Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, buses and trams should run as normal but do check before you travel #TubeStrike

[Committee HART @CommitteeHart]

@timjtravels @GNRailUK The timetable was adjusted in Dec to cater for the Cambridge South stops. If you use the station code CMS on https://t.co/qRc9JXZjTE you can see the services / timings, but fares don’t seem to have been uploaded yet.

[Committee HART @CommitteeHart]

@EdwardAdoo @TLRailUK The section of the linked page regarding temporary changes states that the info is available 12 weeks ahead, so some of the period should already be visible in journey planners and via websites such as https://t.co/xSNqY1oD8W

[Committee HART @CommitteeHart]

@GNRailUK Thanks - will follow up with the organisers

[Committee HART @CommitteeHart]

@GNRailUK - Event on near Hatfield Station today (Slam Dunk). Station car park is normally open when it happens (with access from north only), but we've been told today it is closed - no warnings/info for passengers at station / online etc. Have seen some unhappy passengers!
