On Monday night, our 2015s kicked off a special 5-week railway campaign in partnership with Network Rail

Each week, the boys will learn an important message about the dangers of the railway and how to stay safe.

Week 1: Overhead Power Lines

Did you know that overhead power lines carry 25,000 volts of electricity and are never switched off? That's 100 times greater than the power supply in your house⚡️

It is a really important message for our boys to understand - always stay away from the railway lines and overhead power lines.

A big thank you to Network Rail for helping us share these vital safety messages with our young players.

@greenhow_callum Hi Callum, the railway between Inverkeithing and Kinghorn isn't seeing overhead wires installed. The new @ScotRail trains being procured at the moment will run on battery power between those points, with wires starting in the Kinghorn area. Here's a wee map for clarity

👀 By using footage from cameras fitted to inspection trains, our Edinburgh maintenance team have carried out a vegetation inspection cycle in just 2 months, compared to the 3 years it’d take if done by walking the tracks.

@ScotRail Good news. Our engineers have confirmed all is OK, and @ScotRail services are returning to normal between Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Queen Street high-level.

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

🛤️ We've received a report of a track defect near Bishopbriggs on the Edinburgh-Glasgow main line.

We've put a speed restriction in place for trains heading towards Glasgow until our team arrives on site to inspect the problem. We'll share another update soon. @ScotRail

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

🛠️ Next week, we kick off a £3m project to replace an ageing bridge over the Dundee to Aberdeen line at Laurencekirk.

It’s been great working with the community and have used their feedback, particularly on diversionary routes, when planning the work. 🤝

🌍 Major new study to examine interconnected climate risks to Scotland’s infrastructure.

We're on site at Stromeferry, where a road traffic collision next to the railway has meant we've had to close the Inverness - Kyle of Lochalsh line.

This is to allow the safe recovery of a vehicle. We're working with the emergency services to do this ASAP.

@ScotRail

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

@RH_1872 @CallumGreenINV @kirsten93_ That's a bit harsh - no one who works in the railway goes out to actively hamper the infrastructure. Things can and do go wrong, it's why we work together, both track and train, to run the railway as a system.

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

🛠️ We’re set to carry out £9m of upgrades and repairs on the Kyle of Lochalsh line and at Inverness station, with the railway closing between Dingwall and Kyle of Lochalsh for three weeks between 28 Nov and 18 December.

1️⃣Session 1

Our 2019s are taking part in the @NetworkRailSCOT campaign, learning about rail safety ⚠️

We learned that overhead power lines carry 25,000 volts, and they are never switched off⚡️
We even seen the fire brigade making lines safe during the recent storm damage 💨🚒

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

@Astro67G Hi Astro, sorry for the disruption this morning, it sounds like you may be at Drumgelloch where you were on the broken down train, there is another @ScotRail service approaching you now.

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

@Clydebridge47 @ScotRail All OK! Services returned to normal in Fife this morning.

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

⚡️ We’ve been dealing with a loss of power to the overhead wires between Coatdyke and Airdrie this morning.

Our engineers are en route, and we’ve identified a fault on a train that could possibly be causing a problem. We’re working with @ScotRail to manage affected services.

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

⏱️ We're in the final hours of our 18-day programme of closures across Fife, which has seen us make huge progress on our £311m @ScotGov-funded Fife Electrification programme. ⚡

Normal service returns tomorrow, Wed, 28 October. Here's Mhairi with more.

⚡ Overhead wires on the railway carry high-voltage electricity powerful enough to cause catastrophic injuries, horrific. burns or worse.

Never take shortcuts across the tracks. #NoSecondChances

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

Everyone has the right to feel safe when travelling by train.

If you experience or witness sexual harassment on the railway, you can report anonymously at 0800 555 111 or text @BTP on 61016. 📞

✅ We’ve reopened the railway at Saltcoats following high winds bringing waves over the sea wall earlier.

We’re now working with @ScotRail to reinstate services between Kilwinning and Largs/Ardrossan as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience if your journey’s been affected.

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

📸 Another quick snap from Saltcoats on the Ayrshire coast in the last few minutes. Services are suspended between Kilwinning and Largs/Ardrossan.

We're monitoring conditions closely and keeping @ScotRail updated. We'll work to reinstate services as soon as it's safe to do so.

🎥 Here's a view of the conditions at Saltcoats on the Ayrshire coast in the last few minutes, as we approach high tide at 12:30.

@ScotRail services remain suspended between Kilwinning and Largs until conditions improve.
