✅Trains are running again through Pewsey after we completed a track upgrade 🔀We've replaced two crossing units, so trains can continue to change lines safely 🛤️A mile of new rail will also keep @GWRHelp journeys smooth and reliable on the mainline between Reading and Taunton

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

Cancelling HS2 to Crewe and Manchester was allegedly meant to fund this. Rishi Sunak and Mark Harper should be in handcuffs.

Not for rail electrification, but got involved in design for this 35m gantry at London Gateway Port, for power cables over the sidings. Piles, masts, boom & rigging in one shift - to keep the 22 freight trains a day moving. Sadly couldn't be out over the weekend to see install

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.
