Magnifying glasses at the ready! 🔍
Some special guests joined us on the 4.50 from London Paddington to celebrate Agatha Christie’s birthday with a thrilling murder mystery, a toast from her great-grandson James Prichard, insights from @DrMarkAldridge and some delicious Pullman dining.
A first-class whodunnit! 🕵️♀️🚂
This kicks off our autumn of Agatha as we support @britishlibrary 's Agatha Christie: A World of Mystery, running from 30 October to 20 June.

Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today.
Look at that cake!
If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it.
One of Britain's design heroes.

Discussions are already under way at Manchester Council for Pride 2026, but before that continues, performers that didn’t receive their payments for 2025 must be heard and compensated!
What would a pride event be without performers?
