In terms of a much better customer experience missing out Birmingham Intl & Coventry is fab. As there’s now a local service between Leamington & Coventry you don’t need to go that way - hope your management look at this
Hey @CrossCountryUK the temporary route between #Birmingham & #LeamingtonSpa via Solihull for your #Manchester >< #Bournemouth services is much better!! Quicker to south & NO overcrowding with Birmingham Intl & Coventry passengers! You should make this permanent!!!

Thanks to @FriendsSLine there’s always something colourful and interesting to look out through the window along the Shakespeare Line. Thanks to @WestMidRailway & @chilternrailway @HeartCRP & @NetworkRailBHM for all your ongoing support

Great to see the new replacement GWR replica running in board go up this morning. Many thanks to @WestMidRailway & @CreativeTouchUK - for maintaining #HenleyinArden station in its GWR heritage

Day Out?… why not visit the lovely #Shakespeare Line between #Birmingham & #StratforduponAvon - its a unique heritage railway line that’s part of the national rail network thanks to @networkrail @WestMidRailway & @chilternrailway

Finally got the #WilliamShakespeare at Birmingham Moor Street Station earlier while a quick look at the @railway200 train. I'd got the Shakespeare at Shirley and Henley-in-Arden at the end of May 2025.

The backstory of #CommunityRail is no better demonstrated than by the reaction of the community to the suspected arson of the outside area at #HenleyinArden Railway Station. Just 15 hours after the devastating event over £6000 has been raised & it was open tonight as usual 👍

A fabulous addition to #Birmingham Moor Street station with William #Shakespeare installed today by the station volunteers including the brother of a volunteer who is all the way from Perth, #Australia making #communityrail a worldwide cause 👍

What a brilliant demonstration of sustainability for a #communityrail initiative - Why travel to Ascot when you can enjoy Ladies Day at The Station #HenleyinArden !! A fabulous event - The Station goes from strength to strength
Great to see our line put on the map by volunteers along the route that come out and look after each station. #CommunityRail at its best

We are so proud of all the volunteers along our line & the support of @NetworkRailBHM @WestMidRailway @chilternrailway & @HeartCRP in #CommunityRailWeek
'All the world's a stage' according to #Shakespeare- and now so is the route between #Birmingham Moor Street and #StratforduponAvon after a noble quest was completed to install statues and connect each station with a different Shakespeare play. networkrailmediacentre.co.uk…
We fully support @WestMidRailway in their policy of ensuring everyone that uses the train pays their fare. We owe it to all those that readily pay to travel rather than evade the fare. It also ensures passenger usage is properly recorded 👍

The need to secure investment in rail as part of any significant housing development forms the central tenet of our submission to the consultation on the South Warwickshire Local Plan - see what we have said here - shakespeareline.com/develope…

What a difference #volunteering makes. Great to see Sandra this morning who spends hours of her time tending #Birmingham ‘s Moor Street station. She has transformed the gardens with lots of TLC & support from @NetworkRailBHM & @chilternrailway
It’s unbelievable to think that in 1969 even after we got an injunction to stop the closure of the railway line between #Birmingham & #StratforduponAvon the BR Board were still plotting to close it. Tonight, in 2025, this is a train out of #Birmingham to #StratforduponAvon
