This is very upsetting, truly awful. Thoughts with the family and friends of the member of staff involved, as well as the Elizabeth Line team, RMT and BTP.

There's lots of nostalgia for the older seats. One of the reasons we did the research was to challenge the perception that seats have to be uncomfortable to comply with safety, and to show that you can measure and assess comfort and take it into account alongside all the other requirements.

much love for the 'don't know' crew who must be wondering what that tree is doing in their living room

Horizon | Issue 19 | November 2024 In Horizon issue 19 we look over our achievements in 2024 and look forward to what we are planning for 2025. We also delve into AI, seat comfort, hydrogen-fuelled rolling stock, rail industry road saf...

Are you sitting comfortably? A while ago at RSSB we did some research on seat comfort on board trains. There’s a nice little article in our most recent edition of Horizon, our rail leaders’ magazine, which talks about how it’s been used. Well worth a look >>> bit.ly/4fPeq0c

Possibly this is the first time there's been a switch "on principle" to a platform that's perceived to offer a better version of the "same" product to the one people were used to - it's not like (for example) the switch from FriendsReunited to Facebook in the early 00s

There'll be a sigh of relief from Brenda from Bristol!

Tonight I heard Felsted Choral Society and Orchestra and guests perform Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, Ave verum Corpus, and Requiem in D minor. My wife Sarah played the violin.

Well done to all the teams working behind the scenes to keep the trains moving round the network.Today we celebrated those teams at the Golden Spanners awards, organised by Modern Railways, recognising the depots managing the most reliable fleets.

there are also no toilets - there might be 1 accessible toilet I think, but nothing on the scale that you would expect of a station that size. Closest is the Westfield shopping centre I think.

Today I joined Rachel Hopkins MP and @aslefunion.bsky.social for the launch of their Dignity for Drivers report in Parliament.The provision of the right welfare and toilet facilities for train drivers is lacking. ASLEF's report aligns with RSSB's work in 2022 and we look forward to building on this.

it's sad that the term "woke" has become so misused given its origin is about awareness of social and political inequalities facing black African Americans. Unless I missed the bit of Luther King's speech where he has a dream that people can sub cheese for avocado and olives in their sandwiches.

Great to meet friends old and new on here, I hope the platform continues to grow. As a first post gesture and nod to the railway family, here's a photo of a Deltic I took at the Great Central a couple of years ago. It's not the best photo technically but I think it gives good vibes.
