My thoughts are with the train crew and passengers of 1S71 and 1J25.
Please avoid speculation and wait for the official investigation to be completed.

๐ Britain's Newest Steam Locomotive 'Beachy Head' is running this weekend at @bluebellrailway!
๐ Our train is full of the locomotive's supporters, without who, this project would never have been completed.

@ChelseaFinsF1 @catholiveuk @brightonsnapper The Signaller can authorise trains to cross level crossings with the barriers failed as long as the lights are flashing.
@brightonsnapper Despite what people think. Trains can still cross level crossings when the barriers are up...
Every one of these drivers is risking being hit by a train.
โ ๏ธ DO NOT CROSS, WHEN THE LIGHTS FLASH!
๐ Trains can still cross level crossings with the barriers up. Don't take the risk. Find another route.

๐บ Today's adventures took me to the eastern end of the network, to the medieval harbour town of Rye!
๐ A great opportunity for me to find out more about the Marshlink and gain local knowledge from the staff that work there.

๐ Between the two platforms, there used to be two more lines, allowing fast trains to overtake stopping trains. These were removed as all trains now stop at Havant.
๐ฆTrains can still overtake here using the bidirectional signalling. You can run in both directions on each line.
๐ Today is a route refresher day!
๐ To gain a better understanding of the train services we manage, we head out of the office and go see them for ourselves.

๐บ There used to be a 5th route. A branch line ran from Havant to Hayling Island.
๐ The bridge across Langstone Harbour had a weight restriction, requiring the use of lightweight steam locomotives, known as Terriers. No.72 Fenchurch is still in use today on the Bluebell Railway
