Considering what the staff have had to deal with this morning they have been nothing short of astonishing.
Also impressed by the quick response of the Emergency Services, though perhaps I'm too used to rural Welsh response times!
I don't normally post much, but want to tag @lner.co.uk to say I am extremely impressed by the professionalism and information provided by the Train Manager of 1Y14 (06:00 Berwick-upon-Tweed to London King's Cross) following a tragic incident just to the South of Durham just under an hour ago.

1. 50003 Departs Barrow with an express for Tidmouth
2. 50010 in store at Crovan's Gate Works
3. 50006 shunts at the harbour at Knapford
4. 50001 on shed at Tidmouth
Thank you! Oddly enough 50003 was the first one I did!
50002 is the one I'm most pleased with.....
50003 was definitely the more subtle one of the lot; the others took more work mind you, especially the modifications to 50001.

14th May 1951 - Bill Trinder, one of our founding members, cuts the ribbon infront of the inaugural train of the Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society!
No.1 'Tayllyn' at Nant Gwernol Station Pic - Luke Ryan
As BlueSky has just hit 20mil users, we thought we'd introduce ourselves!
We're the Talyllyn Railway - running from Tywyn on the Welsh Coast up into the mountains towards Abergynolwyn & Nant Gwernol.
In 1951 we became the World's First Preserved #Railway, starting the Heritage Railway movement!
