@ChimeWhistle Actually, we've had a great deal of success doing something similar @GWRHelp on a few places on our network. You'd be very welcome to come down and see it in action, Jonathan

[GWR @GWRHelp]

✨ Storytime just got legendary! ✨

Join children’s TV presenter Naomi Wilkinson as she reads The Giants of Avon Gorge.

It’s all part of The Line to Legend Land, our beautifully-revived collection of myths and legends from across the South West and Wales.

This is you, former Conservative MP, now sitting Reform MP, Andrew Rosindell, writing to former President of the United States, Joe Biden 6 years ago proposing the UK hands to Chagos islands to Mauritius and rents them back on a 99-year lease.

For this year’s @WorldBookDayUK we’re delighted to be retelling a collection of myths and legends first published 100 years ago.

The Line to Legend Land features a special new tale about a miracle dolphin written by former children’s laureate @Michaelmorpurg

And a collection of mythical statues will soon be making an appearance at stations across our network!

@AndyRoden1 @TheFactCompiler @colinwalker79 One of the potential benefits of 'fast charge' technology is that you arent constantly charging the battery to full but doing so in increments usually below 80% which help protect and extend battery life

From Sat 21 Feb–Sun 8 March, essential work is taking place on the Plym bridge at Marsh Mills. This is vital to keep our line safe for the long term, but it will affect your travel:

@ChimeWhistle The train itself isnt the point - although I completely appreciate why its cool. Its the fast charge tech built into it and the two years+ of testing, research and experiments so we can better understand how it works in practise.

[D @DanPanes]

@RailwayExplorer Fewer than the ones they replace. A

@ChimeWhistle To be fair, it would have been quicker to phone and ask...

Hint: they're not. The changes today were significant, but were made to help keep customers moving and manage anticipated service disruption following the Met Office weather warning re: Storm Bram.

[Chime Whistle Publishing @ChimeWhistle]

Just been told, from a GW source, that huge parts of the new timetable are having to be amended because of the fuel pump crisis. All hands to the pump(!) to get it sorted in time.

[D @DanPanes]

@ChimeWhistle It wasn't sought, either from DfT or the owners themselves.

[D @DanPanes]

@ChimeWhistle Sort of. The 802s were ordered with engines uprated so they could work the gradients in Devon and Cornwall. We then uprated the 800s so we could more efficiently diagram the whole fleet avross the whole network. Not required on considerably flatter routes run by similar trains.

[D @DanPanes]

@ChimeWhistle Sort of. The Cardiff route is fully electrified, so running fully electric trains on that route helps us reduce delays by reducing the amount of diesel running under wires.

Rail fares.
Many people think the UK has the highest ticket prices in Europe.
That's true only in one narrow sense: Eurostar from London to Paris/Brussels.
But otherwise Britain is broadly comparable with France, Germany and Italy.
Best fares/trains: Spain

Today and tomorrow, GWR will carry passengers and Eastern Airways staff free of charge between Newquay and Gatwick on production of a boarding pass, confirmed booking or airline ID card.
The journey involves a change of train in both Par in Cornwall and Reading.

@ChimeWhistle Very happy to give you an actual answer, if you'd prefer!

@Clinnick1 @transportgovuk @TLRailUK @SouthernRailUK @GNRailUK @chilternrailway @GWRHelp Hoist by my own petard. IT'S, obviously.

@Clinnick1 @transportgovuk @TLRailUK @SouthernRailUK @GNRailUK @chilternrailway @GWRHelp Or maybe its Intentional and they've got the name wrong...
