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?

@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.
⚠️ 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, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express have transferred into public ownership today to deliver more reliable, passenger-centred services across the network 👇 (1/3)
@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.
On Sunday 31 May...
⛔️ Drayton Park station will be closed all day.
⛔️ Essex Road will be closed for most of the day.
🚇 Highbury & Islington will be exit and interchange to London Overground services only.
🗣️ Plan ahead at https://t.co/IkKEN3Snsc

The Betfred Challenge Cup Final will take place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 30 May.
The Women's FA Cup Final will take place at Wembley Stadium, and the Arsenal F.C. Victory Parade will take place at Finsbury Park on Sunday 31 May.
⚠️ Services will be much busier than usual and some stations will close.
ℹ️ More to follow...
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
@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.
@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
@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!
