Train passengers are suffering fresh misery today as rail workers strike again over pay and conditions.
Chris Page, chair of Rail Future: "People who get a good experience travelling by car today won't come back, which means fewer rail jobs."

I’m sure there is a good map across of the ‘want’ to rail passengers. It’s essential not to think of paper timetables as just a cost to be saved. Rather they are a way to encourage passengers to use your services and so gain some more income 💷💳 ^NM

This is strangely beautiful.
@LNER could use it as an ad with no extra editing. (video by @MySmilingJustin)

We've made our submission to @TransportFocus and @LonTravelWatch on the @LNER proposal to reduce ticket office hours. A proposed opening at 6am, followed by 5 trains between 6:03am and 6:14am: Only @usainbolt might be up for catching the first one! railfuture.org.uk/display280…

Today's Network Rail National Supplier Conference with @chhcalling @SirPeterHendy & Andrew Haines - all stating the railway needs to lower costs, reduce public expenditure. CHH stating the Williams Review is coming this month & DfT's decarb report afterwards. (1/2)

Very true a 5% shift of passengers and freight from road to rail would increase traffic by 45% and save twice rail’s current carbon emissions
Railfuture retweeted
Electirifcation is expensive due to lack of joined up thinking. Scotland has a rolling programme & it's afforable. Hybrid trains & other tech are great interim solutions to support electrification. However, without a rolling programme it's just a load of random expensive projects

Time for a rail fare freeze - @Railfuture calls on the government to avoid an unnecessary 'bad news' day for the railway.

🚉Yesterday, we ran a special fact finding train down the Fawley Branch Line.
👇Here's our MD Mark Hopwood with an update on how we're working with local stakeholders to look into the feasibility of reopening the line, 54 years after regular passenger services stopped.

An image (taken by @Railfuture) at #Salisbury station today during early afternoon.
It shows of something we haven't seen enough of - passengers on station platforms.
Train companies are, finally, welcoming people to use their serviced. Please do!

"Public Transport is safe! There is no need for all these empty trains and buses. The government message needs to change."
@Railfuture couldn't have put it better.
