🤳 Reels blaring from the seat behind? 📢 A video call on speaker that the whole carriage didn't ask to join? 'Loudcasting' on public transport has become a daily annoyance for many passengers. Share the carriage, not the noise: 👉 bit.ly/47y8czM

More done … less disruption. We made the most of three weeks of work between Waterloo East to London Charing Cross this summer, avoiding affecting train services for 60 weekends. For better journeys. In collaboration with @Se_Railway

🏢 Major milestones on our journey to Great British Railways. 🎁 Most of the railway to stay open as usual over Christmas. ⛈️ And our Wales and Borders route installs brand-new weather stations in time for autumn weather. It's another #WeekOnTheNetwork

A year ago today we unveiled the railway's new clock - 200 years after the first modern passenger train ran in Britain. ⏰ It features numerals from Rail Alphabet 2, adapted to make the time easy to read from across a crowded station: 👉 bit.ly/4zCvIHS @MrTimDunn

🎉 Happy birthday Robert Stephenson! 🌉 The Royal Border Bridge, Berwick. 🌉 The High Level Bridge, Newcastle. 🌉 The Britannia Bridge, Anglesey. Just a few of the reasons George Stephenson's son is an #engineering legend in his own right: ➡️ bit.ly/3W8SB7d

Three weeks of work instead of 60 weekends? That’s exactly what we did this summer between London Charing Cross and Waterloo East. Packing lots of engineering work into a shorter time meant less disruption. For better journeys.

The railway needs to balance today's services with tomorrow's needs. Under the proposed framework, long-term planning would help set the direction of travel. And capacity planning would identify the best use of available space. Read about the Access and Use Policy below ...
