Northern has received government approval to replace its class 323s with 37 Porterbrook owned class 350s. The fleet will receive a £25M refurb and the first five will enter service late next year. flic.kr/p/2r3vFWx

Apologies for any inconvenience due to the line closure at Whitehouse caused by flooding and a burst main. The clean up operation by colleagues @networkrail and reasons for disruption are clear here.
Thanks for bearing with us. Stay updated @northernassist.

This was the driver’s view on an @LNER London-Lincoln service last September.
The cyclist was no more than a second away from being hit.
On International Level Crossing Awareness Day a reminder to stop, look and listen at level crossings - there are no second chances.

Congratulations to @LandoNorris on securing the 2025 Formula 1® World Drivers’ Championship.
A defining moment that showcases McLaren’s relentless drive to push the boundaries of performance.

@LandoNorris you are the World Champion!!! I can finally breathe I couldn’t stop moving around for the last 15 laps couldn’t sit down 😂😂 #F1

Lando Norris - a racer who, in embracing his vulnerability, has found by far his greatest strength. He never shied away from his struggles, has been honest and open about his fragility, yet fought and found the resolve to achieve his greatest dream. A champion and an inspiration.

Thank you to District 4 for their kindness and solidarity yesterday and to all the other people who turned up. To those GS’s and MP’s I wish I deserved your words but your friendship and comradeship will stay with me forever. This union and this movement will grow and continue

You don’t pay the money for people to drive trains when it is easy. You pay them to know what to do when things go wrong. This is how they can keep hundreds of people safe.

After yesterday, I don't want to hear that train drivers earn to much or don't deserve a pay rise. What that driver did to get that train to a stop and not panic was heroic

8 minutes between initial report and being at a stand at #Huntingdon.
That’s fast thinking, fast action and professionals working at their best: never tell me ever again that me or my colleagues “just press buttons.”
I raise my hat to @LNER, @networkrail & @BTP.

My thoughts go out to the staff involved with this incident, I hope all injured make a recovery. No one, staff or members of the public should be in danger in our trains.
We are currently responding to an incident on a train to Huntingdon where multiple people have been stabbed.
Officers are in attendance alongside @CambsCops and two people have been arrested.
Further updates will be shared here.
