Great to catch up with @ASLEFunion at @SWLabourParty Conference

[Kerry Cassidy @ladytraindriver]

Not that I post here much… but following conversations with friends and colleagues I’m joining them on bluesky and threads instead. I’ve realised I only come on here for @fesshole, @PickliciousF, @MrTtheTaco, @Dawn_French and @MickWhelanASLEF, hopefully I’ll find them elsewhere

@carlosradioguy @heart70s Went past the other day. It’s not the same without the smell of HP sauce wafting around and random teenage girls hovering by the roller shutter to the car park!

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

Thanks to @rach_hopkins for raising the importance of investment in rail infrastructure at this week's Prime Minister's Questions.

It's vital to invest in infrastructure to connect up communities, make the railway accessible and grow rail freight.

There are 19 breastfeeding support groups across Cornwall so if you have questions about feeding and caring for your baby or toddler why not pop in, parents are welcome at every age and stage including antenatally.

Remembering Cornishman Rick Rescorla who gave his life on this day ensuring the safety of countless others during 9/11

"If you look at Spain, they've built 2,500 miles of high speed track linking 16 cities... we can't even build a railway between London, Birmingham & Manchester thanks to the Tories"

Yesterday the House of Commons voted through the rail public ownership bill, led by Transport Secretary @LouHaigh. An important step in the journey towards a railway that runs in the interest of people and communities across the country.

Next stop, House of Lords 🚄

Huge thanks to all the amazing employees of Ukrainian Railways who ive met over the last 24 hours - you have completely blown me away with your professionalism and your customer service, even in times of great difficulty

Simply Inspiring 💙💛

[Huw Merriman @HuwMerriman]

Whilst it’s legitimate to debate the terms of the deal, the demonisation of train drivers and those onboard and at stations, who carry out a difficult and skilled job for the safety of passengers, is completely unfair. These people work hard and should be shown more respect

Labour Party and TULO mark ‘a new era for working people’ in first meeting between affiliated unions and Labour leadership after historic general election win.

Together we have reiterated our full commitment to Labour’s New Deal for Working People.

[Department for Transport @transportgovuk]

✅ First week as Transport Secretary

@LouHaigh has started work on improving the UK’s transport network:

💼 Welcoming a new Ministerial team
🚝 Calling in the worst performing Train Operating Companies
🤝 Resetting industrial relations
🚌 Launching a bus revolution

[Labour🌹Unions @labourunionsuk]

👑 🚨 NEW DEAL! 🚨 👑

The King has announced it. It's happening.

This Government will be writing the New Deal for Working People into law.

BRING IT ON.

[Marz Colombini @MarzC]

Just to be clear when Train Operators say they have cancelled services “due to a lack train crew”, what they actually mean is “due to our failure to recruit the correct level of staff required to meet our service delivery obligations”

[DB Cargo UK @DBCargoUK]

We are profoundly disappointed by @RoyalMail's decision to stop using rail freight. Politicians and policymakers must get round the table to look at how we can level the playing field between rail freight and road haulage. Freight belongs on rail!

[Paul Clifton @PaulClifton_]

The transport industry will view the appointment of Network Rail Chairman @LordPeterHendy as Transport Minister as a very wise move. I think that’s the first time in my working life that a proper transport professional with decades of experience has been made Minister of State.

[Nigel Roebuck @AslefD4DO]

Absolute shameless this rail fat cat awards himself 800k in bonuses despite those who drive the trains haven't had a pay rise for 5 years - rewarded for a shoddy service and driving staff morale into the dark ages.https://t.co/vJsnnDSOev
