There’s increasing scientific consensus that melting arctic ice, caused by human pollution, is flooding the North Atlantic with millions of tons of freshwater which appears to interfere with the AMOC current - a vital system which circulates sea water across parts of the world.

A brilliant, honest space created last week with the EDI Charter for Rail at their 5th anniversary event. Truly refreshing to be in a room where everyone was encouraged to be listened to, supported and able to contribute in the breadth of topics throughout the day.

Finally, the logistics industry will continue to optimise its efficiency and reliability with the help of AI this year. Digitally connected networks, schedule optimisation and pro-active decision making are all components AI will master to form agile systems 👐

This year we’ll also start to see more alternative systems, battery electric and hydrogen powered trains as examples, make a bigger impact. As these technologies roll out, diesel locomotives will be phased out more than ever. Sustainability is longevity! 🥬

Varamis Rail wishes everyone a very happy new year! Our zero-emissions distribution line offers immediate help on Scope 3 emissions and as we expand from this one line, our circular network will begin to form. Get in touch if you are looking to decarbonise cost-effectively!! 🍀🍀

Had a trip to Carlisle by train today. First time on an @AvantiWestCoast avero class 805 and I have to say I'm impressed. Arrived in Carlisle to see both Northern Celeb units in the same platform which was a bonus. @Prestonspotter @Guard_Amos @RailVaramis @SkhTrains @303032T – at Carlisle, England

Just putting it out there, but I love #Carlisle!! A warm, friendly place with a strong history. Get up there and find out for yourself (Oh, and here’s a photo of one of our trains being temporarily stored up there!) 😀😀😀

Faster usually costs more. Greener usually slows you down. With Varamis, you get all three: faster, cheaper, greener. Electric trains running overnight on the West Coast Main Line deliver Birmingham → Glasgow in ~4 hrs: predictable, bookable, next-morning.hubs.ly/Q03PN8MF0

A Eurostar set takes the line west at Factory Junction, Wandsworth Road, with an empty stock working to North Pole depot in 1999. The view from this location is very different today, new flats block out most of the view of Battersea power station. The gasometer has also gone.

Varamis delivers the rare triple win: faster, cheaper AND greener. You don’t have to choose between ESG goals and operational performance. With Varamis, you can have both: hubs.ly/Q03T1lhJ0 #LogisticsInnovation #SustainableDelivery #RailFreight #EcommerceDelivery #Varamis

He was a passionate voice for motoring and consumer rights. Quentin dedicated his life to spreading the love for cars and helped the public understand them whether they were classic combustion or modern electric. His kindness, intelligence, sharp wit and loving soul will always be missed. Rest in Peace Q, we love you.

Freightliner boss Tim Shoveller tells RIA conference that freight prices are not sustainable, noting that “none of us are making money”. Also notes that costs in UK are much higher than Freightliner sees in its other European operations.

Our electric freight trains deliver the triple win: faster, cheaper, and greener. - One train carries more in a single trip. - Lower energy use than diesel road haulage. - Reduce the hidden costs of overtime and delays. See what you could save: hubs.ly/Q03Rxtd70

Replying to @Ed_Miliband @UKLabour
Ed, I’ve tried to get hold of you/your office for some time now. You need to look at what @RailVaramis is doing in the clean space. Using repurposed electric passenger trains to move parcels on the UKs rail network. Get in touch, we need your dept’s support!! #CircularEconomy
