Becketwell in Derby will be the home of #GreatBritishRailways, which will bring track and train back together for a better railway for our customers and taxpayers.
A modern national centre of excellence in a city at the heart of railway heritage ...

🏢 Major milestones on our journey to Great British Railways.
🎁 Most of the railway to stay open as usual over Christmas.
⛈️ And our Wales and Borders route installs brand-new weather stations in time for autumn weather.
It's another #WeekOnTheNetwork
A year ago today we unveiled the railway's new clock - 200 years after the first modern passenger train ran in Britain. ⏰
It features numerals from Rail Alphabet 2, adapted to make the time easy to read from across a crowded station:

How much work can you fit into just three weeks? The equivalent of what we’d have got done in 60 weekends!
Watch the video to find out how we made the most of our £20m investment in Waterloo East to London Charing Cross.
For better journeys.

We've prepared our Wales and Borders route for #autumn by upgrading drainage at sites repeatedly affected by flooding. 🍂 🌧️
And for the first time, we've installed 10 weather stations to give real-time local data to help reduce disruption:

We're reducing and #recycling materials to avoid waste.♻️
Like using more environmentally friendly sleepers - an essential part of track - to help reduce our carbon footprint:
