Love this part of the @LNER East Coast line between Edinburgh and Berwick. Made better by the usual excellent customer service. Enjoying LNER's own Hop on Board ale. If only every journey could be like this.

[Stuart Thomas @stuartthomas]

Here’s something you don’t see every day - an @LNER Azuma in Bedford.

It was on test last night - as we look for new ways to keep people moving when the East Coast route’s shut for engineering work.

Small step, but could mean a lot more flexibility down the line.

During #CommunityRailWeek, representatives from the Bishop Line, Esk Valley Line and Yorkshire Coast Community Rail Partnerships joined LNER colleagues at York Station, to meet customers, share information about local initiatives, and encourage greater use of rail services.

Really looking forward to being on a panel at CreatorFest.

The session's called "Why Brands Are Betting on Podcasts” - if you havent heard our brilliant podcast Routes then do search for it wherever you get your audio content, or scan the seatback QR code on an @LNER train.

[Stuart Thomas @stuartthomas]

Great meeting the teams from @BishopLine @EVRDC and @YorksCoastlines today.

@CommunityRail do a fantastic job promoting rail and today they’re at York station - along with the @LNER community team - as part of Community Rail Week.

Do have a chat with them if you’re passing through!

Back on @LNER heading to Kings Cross this morning after a week off sailing around Italy with @starclippers.

Hard to pick a single highlight from many wonderful stops - but seeing a volcano erupting was really something special. 🌋

Britain's biggest train operator’s services enter public ownership today. Thank you to everyone from across the industry who has worked so hard to make this happen. Another key milestone on our journey to Great British Railways. https://t.co/aZOZNOTe6v

[David Horne @DavidHorne]

To help @Boro fans get to Wembley on Saturday, we’ve planned an extra @LNER train service from York to London on Saturday morning (09.17 departure subject to confirmation) and another back from King’s Cross on Saturday evening after the match.

To help access to/from York station, York park and ride will stay open until midnight on Saturday - thanks to @CityofYork and FirstBus for arranging this.

[Stuart Thomas @stuartthomas]

Happy new @LNER menu day!

🥓🥗🍝

[Stuart Thomas @stuartthomas]

@TimSingSkyNews @SkyNews Congrats on all you’ve achieved there. Good luck with whatever comes next.
