A fantastic effort by Network Rail overnight to reopen lines this morning.
When will hauliers take more effectives steps to reduce their impact on rail customers?👇

🚛 ❌ A lorry hit a bridge in Bedworth in Warwickshire yesterday, causing disruption to rail passengers and road users.
These strikes can be very dangerous and disruptive, but can be avoided.
Drivers, know the height of your vehicles:

So begins the familiar cycle of fear mongering stories about a new railway. Next, coverage & support for protests. Then once angry people & protestors have increased the cost with mitigation, legal battles & extra security, there will be media outrage over the increased costs.

East West Rail is saying all things to all people on electrification. To Gov "discontinuous electrification would mean overhead lines would only need to be installed along some sections of the route, which would reduce disruption to existing structures " (1/2)

Okay Seb, I'll bite. 1) It's categorically untrue to claim Cornwall's railway can't handle heavy freight: it can, and does, with 180,000 tonnes a year more when Cornish Lithium goes into production.
