It’s a real shock to hear and it’s a bit unsettling for everyone. But from what we know so far it also sounds like a great example of rail staff in different sectors working together really well under enormous pressure. Take care 😊

Let’s hope they recover quickly and get the recognition they deserve πŸ™‚

Some really quick thinking happened there and thank goodness for it. As you say the situation could have been far worse so bravo to those that on duty that night

I think you’re absolutely right. And I know that messages of support like yours are massively appreciated by the people involved and their friends and families 😊

Exactly the questions being asked by the people involved I reckon. Things like this just shouldn’t ever happen πŸ™

Photo 173 is dedicated to my colleagues who were involved in last night’s terrible incident.
I know they will have stepped up with courage, professionalism and dedication to protect everyone on board even though they must have been terrified.
Sending them all my wishes ❀️

I’ve really enjoyed this 200 rail themed photos to celebrate 200 years of the railways thing.
Hard to believe we’re at photo 172 already!
Have a nice evening 😊

If you hear something go bump in the night it’s probably just someone shunting πŸ€”

πŸ˜‚ that’s the spirit!
Soon as I identify a station that can provide both hot water and sausage rolls I’ll let you know

Hurray! If at least 2 of us do it we won’t look ridiculous πŸ˜‚ I shall spread the word that stations need to be ready for us with hot water provisions

Thank you πŸ™‚ oh gosh that doesn’t sound at all fun! If it happens again call me and I’ll rush a sausage roll out to you πŸ˜‚

Back in ye olden days people used to get hot water bottles filled up in station canteens to take with them on a train journey.
I vote we bring this back! It would be marvellous! 😊

Sounds like an excellent plan to me πŸ€” to the buffet coach!

That is a Great Question! And one I shall investigate thoroughly before answering πŸ˜‡

The early signs weren’t looking good for today. Cold, rainy and with signal failure thrown in.
Then I arrived in London and got given a free sausage roll so maybe today has been a good one after all πŸ™‚

One good thing about these longer nights is the darkness really makes parts of the railway look deliciously atmospheric πŸ€”

You have a point there! And is it Morrisons own brand or proper fairy liquid on offer? πŸ€”
