We’ve achieved a new record in reducing carbon emissions today, operating the highest capacity domestic intercity train in the UK! 🚆 The sold-out service had the potential to carry 772 customers in each direction between Edinburgh, Newcastle and London - that’s more than 1,540 people onboard the record-breaking return service. Travel on one of Lumo’s fully electric services helps save 96% of CO₂e compared with flying 💙

A chapter closes on the South Western tonight. The SETG have filtered out over the last few days to say thank you and farewell to the #SWR #Class455 fleet. Almost all of us have worked on them at one time or another as fitter, guard or driver. We’re sad to see the end of them.

POV: you’re driving a Class 455 train! 👀🚆 Come aboard for the short journey from London Waterloo to Vauxhall. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the signals, tracks and passing trains, while taking in Lambeth landmarks along the way. 🌇

I see the rancid rats are out acting like 🔔🔚s in Cornwall today. Precisely why I went and did my farewell to the castle sets over the last couple of months. Some in this hobby shouldn't be allowed out of their house without adult supervision let alone onto trains 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀

Lovely to see 70006 through Basingstoke this evening under the December sunset. This will very likely be the last ever Freightliner Class 70 working out of Southampton. Will miss seeing these fantastic locos. 💚 @TeamGreen66593

I’d just like to be VERY clear - the below post is fake, I have made ZERO contact with this person in regards to anything, railway related or not. They’ve used the inspect element to alter the contents of a precious tweet I made years ago on a completely different topic.
