I spend most of my time either on trains, talking about trains or in meetings with communities about trains! Luckily I love trains-and communities. Views my own

Lovely message for the Scottish contingent at #CRA26 from @FionaHyslop MSP. No outright winners for us but 3rd place for Glenfinnan Station Museum Trust. Of course, the real winner is the Community Rail movement across the UK. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼@ScotRail

Another fantastic day at Glasgow Queen Street with @ScotRail’s strategic partner, @RSNO. We support their annual Christmas Concerts including The Snowman, and we were lucky enough to find this year’s narrator in the station too. Thanks for getting a photo with us @govindajeggy!

A significant day today @ScotRail @NetworkRailSCOT as we see the opening of two new stations and our new timetable commences with over 100 services added. Thank you to all of our hard working teams who make all of these improvements possible, it’s a proud day for all of us.
🎉 The countdown is over. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome communities from both Leven and Cameron Bridge back to Scotland's Railway today. #LevenmouthReconected

That’s us started in Aberdeen, fundraising for @agescotland! We’ve got Frieda the Friendship bear with us (newly named, by us, right now 😆). The weather is beautiful but it’s not very busy yet. Come see us if you’re in the area! @ScotRail @NetworkRailSCOT #CharityPartnership – at Aberdeen, Scotland

Off to Aberdeen to do some collecting with @agescotland, @ScotRail’s new Charity Partners. At Glasgow Queen St I met these two lovely people who are doing the same there. Look out for us collecting at 7 of our 8 cities today! Will see if I see folk at Stirling, Perth or Dundee! – at Glasgow, Scotland

Listening to @LeoduFeu (one of @ScotRail’s Community Rail Champions) talking on @BBCRadioScot about his love of travelling by train and how he sketches as he travels. Very proud to hear him talk so eloquently about his role 🥹❤️ Give him a follow to see his travels. – at Falkirk, Scotland

We welcomed the @RSNO at Queen St station today playing some fabulous Christmas music to promote their #TheSnowman Concert, which is sponsored by @ScotRail. Don’t think much of the stand-in with the sleigh bells… (that would be me in case you think I’m just being rude!)

Exciting things in the pipeline as we did some filming with our strategic partners, @RSNO on the @ScotRail train between Glasgow and Edinburgh this morning. Can’t wait to share more!

Wow! Such a fantastic evening with the @RSNO. “Out of this World” was aptly named & you all played a belter (but especially @ChrisHart42’s Apollo 13). A family of geeks were also in their element outside before the concert - what a way to celebrate my “wee” brother’s birthday! – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Great to be out with @6vtCrp with their “Little Pots of Positivity” project supported by @ScotRail. During #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we were handing out some lovely leaflets and badges encouraging people to talk about mental health. @samaritans @RailChaplains – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Absolutely lovely visiting Cargill's Leap with our walking group! The spot is named after Donald Cargill, who in 1679 was pursued by dragoons and had no choice but to take the leap over the river to escape. We didn't dare, but we had a great time exploring the riverbank!
