Winter timetable starts tomorrow morning. Some improvements e.g. Birmingham Moor Street to Marylebone saving 20 minutes journey time.

Wind farms on railway lines - difficult on our electrified routes owing to dangers of installation and operation. Off the line, possibly.

@Aline_Hayes Perhaps the same train as me: 1000 from KGX to EDB, now between DON and YRK! Happy travelling. Stationmaster

Don't forget there's a tube strike in London tonight from 1830 which will affect services - but not National Rail - until Tuesday morning.

@ParenRaval 1 and 3 yr railcards sold at the station, but you do need to provide a passport photograph.

[National Rail @National_Rail]

@oxchris Railcard is for my daughter, aged 17. Used her provisional driving licence as proof of age. Honest.

[National Rail @National_Rail]

@travelling_wolf Yes, it's for my daughter aged 17. Honest!

@JamesThresher You may be interested to know there's a new Barclays cycle hire system in London just launched to rent cycles in the capital.

Dropped into Cupar (in Fife, Scotland,) station for a 16-25 railcard today - what an excellent little station with friendly staff too.

@nelsonclaire Yes, I gather there are major problems with the brand new trains on the Victoria Line which are not working "out of the box!"
