Throwback to 2 weeks ago when I was a Thunderbird, rescued a broken down train, and set off explosives on the track! 🧵1/10 #railway #freighttraindriver #Thunderbird #1Z99

After I spoke out, several more people reached out to tell their story, and the @NewStatesman has pulled together the story. The undermining of the railway's safety culture has come from the top, whether through MVP or through staffing "efficiencies".

This. Absolutely. THIS.

Convincing people that their lives are crap because of small boat crossings rather than 14 years of Tory austerity is what got us here.

Stop dehumanising refugees and immigrants.

[Valkyrie @Valkyrie_VP_]

This is deeply worrying, to say the least. We have an open safety culture for a reason!

[Gareth Dennis @GarethDennis]

In May this year, @LordPeterHendy pressured my now-former employer @SYSTRA_UKIRL to sack me by threatening them.

Why did he do this? Because I'd highlighted safety and accessibility issues at Euston station. He is unfit for office and should resign.

🦌 Deer-oh-deer... 😬

We've unveiled the country’s worst trespassing criminals.

But by far the worst offenders are PEOPLE with one incident every half-an-hour.

A quick reminder of some of the things trade unions have given us 👇

⭐️ Fun facts about the class 66 ⭐️

• A 66 has 1.486billion mouse power.

• The fuel tank can hold up to 390,243 cups of coffee (just enough to get the average driver through a shift)

• The class 66 has two ends, but no beginning.

•Although noseless, a 66 has 2 bogies.

@bessbbe Thanks! 😊

My favourite loco!

[Freightliner @RailFreight]

#Freightliner was delighted to partner with model loco manufacturers @accurascale in the production of OO gauge models of loco 66415,‘ You are Never Alone’. Proceeds from the sales of the model loco raised a fantastic £10,000 for @samaritans .

[Valkyrie @Valkyrie_VP_]

If only

[CLondoner92 @CLondoner92]

Absolutely!

Taking a look at the old Eurotunnel advert from the 1980s, where they hoped to connect various parts of mainland UK by rail.

[DRSGuy @Electra88007]

Seeing 66415 and its name earlier while walking over to my loco reminded me of the struggles I once faced a few years ago. So here’s a post to remind you that you are indeed never alone, and sometimes it’s OK not be OK. @samaritans are a good source of help. Call 116 123. 🤗❤️

66502 on the Avonmouth today. As always, the sun is shining. It never rains when I'm down here. Hmmmm 🤔

[Bristol Waste @BristolWaste]

If you're out celebrating Pride this weekend, remember to put all homophobia, transphobia and litter straight in the bin! It helps us keep Bristol clean and safe for everyone 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🚇Our Severn Tunnel track renewal is going well.

🛤️It’s the largest renewal there in recent years, replacing 14km of rail, nearly 11,000 sleepers & over 22,000 tonnes of stone.

@driverbod125 Love it!

[Valkyrie @Valkyrie_VP_]

Special day today! I got to take my favourite loco down to Avonmouth and back. 66415 "You Are Never Alone"

Named in conjunction with @samaritans , the message is always an important one.

Swan protection is all in a days work for a MOM.
Got called out to this young one that wasn’t very happy at all !
An assessment confirmed all was ok.
Line blocked, made it take flight .. Swan happily took off and back swimming down the River Clyde.
Job done 👍
