Once again, we will be running trains on New Year's Day. As last year, we will have 2 return services stopping at several of the stations along the line. Starting from #Darlington at 09.24. So, please make a date in your diary to join us on the New Year's Day 2025 Specials!
@LesPiggypics@northernassist@ASLEFunion Les-this will be a sad day for the railway of the NEโฆbut I will look forward to seeing more of your glorious photos!
An afternoon of knowledge sharing with our @networkrail North West and Central Sponsor colleagues. Topics including AFAs, new stations timetabling, mining and fire strategies. Some common themes and great contacts and suggestions made. ๐๐
All that being said, great to be in Haxby today with Rishi Sunak to look at plans for the new train station on the York-Scarborough line. A really exciting project that the Network Rail teams will be working to deliver in the upcoming years.
Well, today was different! 2yrs ago, only able to move from bed to sofa due to mast cell issues & challenging times of previous role, I would never have believed this possible! Am very grateful to a lot of family, friends, specialist & colleagues for helping me get here! #proud
Fantastic to be at Bradford Forster Square earlier this week with @bradfordmdc@SHinchcliffe & the Rail Minister @HuwMerriman for the announcement of ยฃ24m investment in a new platform & work on the track & signalling to improve performance. Spades in the ground in the Spring ๐
@Rich_Crabtree A fair portion of this is also going towards a big piece of resignalling outside the station to move the crossover, to allow for reduced dwell times in platforms and the associated performance improvements across Leeds NW services.
We're so proud of our 'Good' Ofsted report ๐ particularly the praise for our โjourneyโ experiences, which "enrich the wider curriculum and provide rich and interesting cultural experiences that pupils might not have had before"๐๐
Thanks, @SouthLeedsLife https://t.co/02kPs5IgJ8
Great to visit Leeds Gateway & Mill Goit works @LeedsCC_News@balfourbeatty@MayorOfWY. New Station St. was built over a disused water channel 150yrs ago!Works to strengthen & transform it into a accessible,pedestrianised station entrance with 500 bike spaces are progressing well
๐ฃHartlepool Station revamp is coming ๐ฃ
After a ยฃ12million investment by TVCA, the long awaited second platform will be ready to go early next year ๐๐
Meaning increased frequency of train service, greater capacity on the rail network, and ease getting around the region๐
