Great to be at the launch of Richard Brown’s book “Changing Times, Changing Trains” this evening. Looking forward to reading his account of Richard’s time leading InterCity, Midland Mainline, @Eurostar and more - and his insights for the future GB railway! The book is available to buy from the usual online places.

🚄 Great ideas are born in #rail research—but too many stall in the “Valley of Death” due to cost, fragmentation & poor coordination.

🌉The #EU_RAIL Deployment Group bridges the gap, turning innovation like #FRMCS & #DAC into real-world impact.

The railways were originally built for cargo: horses pulling coal-laden wooden wagons.

Today, as we mark the bicentenary of the modern railway, rail freight contributes £2.45 billion to the UK economy every year, removing 5.35 million lorries from our congested roads and reducing CO2 emissions.

Every day, freight trains carry materials to build our homes, repair our roads, feed us, keep the nation’s lights on, as well as delivering many other benefits to households and industries.

The railway is one of Britain’s most transformative exports. Across the world long freight trains snake through vast landscapes, connecting communities and commerce, and help to power global economies.

Here, @RailFreight Group’s CEO Tim Shoveller explains the crucial, but sometimes unnoticed, role of rail freight in our lives:

Thanks to the incredible dedication of volunteers and support from Railway 200, a replica of the world’s first steam railway locomotive - based on Richard Trevithick’s pioneering design - is now fully restored and ready to run again.

After nearly two years out of action, the team spent around 500 hours bringing the track and engine back to life, just in time for the bicentenary celebrations. Visitors can now enjoy this remarkable piece of history in action at Blists Hill Victorian Town.

International rail services are fantastic for leisure travel, but they also drive jobs, investment and opportunity in places like Ashford, Ebsfleet and Stratford.

That's why this government welcomes firms who want to get these stations back into use.🚆
