No, I’m not crying - it’s just something in my eye. What a man. He gets emotional and his voice goes every time he mentions his family. This really is someone who’s given his all to the club and community and wants to spend time with his loved ones. 💙#itfc

Wow. I’m really sad to hear this but Kieran deserves it. He has been one of our greatest managers and has brought the good times back to Portman Road. 3 promotions in 4.5 years. Thanks Kieran and go well.

Hello @LNER Your app and RTT shows the delayed 1456 from platform 3 but screens here say 5a and your announcements do too. Which is correct ? We were told to go from 3 to 5a. Thanks.

“This train is in reverse.”
I know what they mean but it does sound like the driver is leaning out the back cab window, one arm over the passenger headrest. “Keep going, you’re fine my side.”

Satnav experts: I’ve rebooted our built-in TomTom, loaded an update & it will not plan a route via the Humber Bridge. I’ve checked the settings & it’s not programmed to avoid toll roads. Anyone else being advised to do Barton-Hessle 70 miles via M18 instead of 2 over the bridge?!

✋ 🐍 Don't be a snake.
If you keep staring when someone looks uncomfortable, that’s abuse. Stop. We’re proud to partner with the Home Office on the ENOUGH campaign to tackle harassment on our railway.

ALT TransPennine Express 185115 approaches Huddersfield over its eastern viaduct on August 21, with the 1458 York-Manchester Piccadilly. It’s about to cross John William Street, where Network Rail is replacing two bridge decks during a 30-day blockade in September. PHILIP HAIGH

Great issue this!
Firstly, Andy Burnham talks rail in an excellent exclusive interview with @DStubbings14, and we also delve deeper into the alarming rise in fatalities at rail crossings

As a rail journalist & football fan, well done to the railway for helping with a hastily organised Championship Play off Final. @Hull_Trains @LNER @LumoTravel organised extra trains and they are speeding fans home tonight early/on time. The railway stepping up & working together
