The Minsmere marshes in the foreground were deliberately flooded during WWII to deter a German invasion. Now an RSPB reserve, they lie north of Sizewell, whose nuclear power stations are visible further down the Suffolk coast. Photographed from 4500ft #Minsmere #Sizewell #Aerial

Am delighted to welcome John to the railway. Establishing Great British Railways and John’s appointment is a key part of our plan to create a more customer-focussed railway. Change that people can see is a good test!
“It is a privilege to be involved in rail's next chapter making sure that public ownership of the railways delivers change that people can see." Sir John Kingman who has been appointed the Chair of Great British Railways.

Waterbeach: station carpark and bike parks full and overflowing onto the nearby streets…today. A busy station that must not close. This village station and the new one for the New Town are both needed.

Today marks 1 year since we entered public ownership under DFTO.
Over the past 12 months we have remained one of the best performing train operators in the UK, opened Beaulieu Park and Cambridge South railway stations, extended contactless ticketing to Stansted Airport, Witham and Southend Victoria, and carried out timetable improvements and community initiatives.
We are also taking advantage of being part of GBR Anglia – a unified railway combining Greater Anglia, c2c and Network Rail Anglia.
