Gorgeous sky tonight from the “office” window!

@ScotRail I hope so too! It was a big adventure they will definitely need a rest and a cuddle with their best friend!

[David Philson @muchtydave]

Had an extra special passenger on my way to Perth today. They did very well helping me with my doors and checking tickets. They are safe at the Perth gateline waiting for their best friend to be reunited! @ScotRail #scotlandsrailway #BestFriends

This morning, we remembered Brett, Donald and Christopher. Our hearts remain broken and our thoughts are with everyone affected by this terrible accident, in particular those who lost their loved ones, many of whom attended today at Stonehaven. 💔 @ScotRail @NetworkRailSCOT

@ScotRail You do forget how beautiful our railway is when you see it every day. But we do have some stunning places!

[David Philson @muchtydave]

Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay! I couldn’t rested taking a picture when I was coming out of Dundee this morning! #railway #dundee @ScotRail

[David Philson @muchtydave]

@ScotRail It is indeed! Might be a bit cold but my Xmas jumper in support of @MNDScotland is keeping me nice and warm!

[David Philson @muchtydave]

View from the office *train* today! Just outside Burntisland! #scenic #scotlandsrailway @ScotRail

[David Philson @muchtydave]

Definitely going to be tuning in!

I’ve been off Twitter for a few months but I’m back and now I’m in a new role! I am currently in the midst of Route Learning as a Conductor! Been a long wait but I’m now finally back out on the trains. #scotlandsrailway #scotrail

[David Philson @muchtydave]

We at Perth Station are so friendly even our local wildlife come to visit us! #Butterfly #scotlandsrailway @ScotRail

Tomorrow morning at 09.43 we will observe a minute's silence to remember Brett McCullough, Christopher Stuchbury and Donald Dinnie, who sadly lost their lives last week.

As a mark of respect, please join us across Britain in this silence.

Our thoughts are with those affected.

[Alex Hynes @AlexHynes]

This is in the process of being arranged so that everyone has the opportunity to pay their respects to Brett, Donald and Christopher.

[David Philson @muchtydave]

@AndreaWhyte Thank you for keeping me right. Hope she is okay. Loved working trains with her! Such a good laugh

[David Philson @muchtydave]

Nicola Whyte a off-duty conductor raised the alarm about 1T08's derailment by walking 3 miles to the nearest signal box while being injured from the crash. Not all heroes wear capes! I wish her a speedy recovery!

[David Philson @muchtydave]

Instead of reading the news articles made my people who do not understand the railway, Read the investigation announcement from @raibgovuk. We all are deeply saddened by the incident and media sharing speculations do not help this! #1T08 #StonehavenDerailment #scotlandsrailway

[RAIB @raibgovuk]

We've updated our investigation announcement following Wednesday's derailment near Carmont #stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This explains more about the accident and the scope of our investigation https://t.co/G3ebAUgpqC

@Seemples1 Wht don't you spare a thought for the railway family who knew the driver and conductor. The familes and friends of all on board. This is such a insensitive heading it has angered every railway perosn I know and lots of the public too!

[David Philson @muchtydave]

@ScottishSun So much disrespect!

[David Philson @muchtydave]

Disgusting front page form @TheSun Familes and Friendships have been torn apart after the disaster and you think its acceptable to have a joke about it! What if the people who died or injured were your friends and family? Our #railwayfamily will not stand for this!

@rwillmer @networkrail @NetworkRailSCOT @AlexHynes Ah yes, it’s a lot more confusing now. Even for us staff sometimes 😂
