[Jerry C Alderson @jerryalderson]

Grateful thanks to @networkrail and @MurphyGroup1951 for giving me a guided tour (with @FenLineUsers) of #CambridgeSouth station this morning. I was very impressed.

Well done to everyone who has worked on it.

(All photos by me.)

Today is a very special day!

After more than a 60 year gap since the 2nd of November 1964, the first official Passenger trains commenced running again on the Northumberland line.

Kirton Lindsey Station. Sees one service each way a day. Up until recently the line was a Saturday only service.

[RailwayHeritageTrust @RailwayHeritage]

Some positive news of our support for a project at Market Rasen on which to end the week - doesn’t it look great?

[Late Turn @lateturn]

Quite a niche piece of trivia, perhaps, but wheel-worked crossings are rare enough nowadays. Sleaford West must be unique in also having regular parallel moves signalled over it! It must look odd to waiting motorists, one train seeming to chase another, only a few seconds behind.

[London North Eastern Railway @LNER]

We're pleased to confirm that CAF will deliver 10 new tri-mode trains for LNER.

The trains will be able to operate in electric, battery or diesel mode and will complement our current #Azuma fleet of 65 trains.

Posting this again, just because it’s one of my favourite signal boxes.

Pictured a short engineers train at Brigg in the spring of 1976.
Of note, is the International traffic in the adjacent station sidings.
