New update in the @OFFICIALWMAS Coventry and Warwickshire PTS contract. Been told that #WMAS didn't even submit a bid for the contract according to industry sources, an informal meeting was held and said that WMAS bid wouldn't even be considered as it was too much.

To the miserable person on the train to BTM this morning who shouted at my daughter for “talking in the quiet carriage” I hope you had a horrible day in Bristol. Thanks to the off duty @GWRHelp staff who stood up instantly and said “Quiet carriage, not silent carriage.” 1\

Great Western Railways services will transfer into public ownership from 13 December 2026. This is another significant moment as the government continues to bring services back into public ownership and put passengers, not shareholders, at the heart of our railways.

Britain’s railways are in demand like never before. Passenger journeys are increasing 4% every year.🚆 HS2 is being built to create new, separate tracks for long-distance travel, freeing up existing lines for more local, regional and freight services – providing the additional rail capacity the country needs. #HS2 will play a key role in Britain's modern, integrated #rail network.

It’s a day of 1066 electrics to and from Historic Hastings this morning. After working the unique Cannon Street flyer this morning in the up direction it’s one final leap back to Tonbridge. Interestingly on our mainline fleet these new vinyls have appeared on panels too.
