I think we're now able to build a pretty clear picture of the most likely mechanism of the train crash at Adamuz in Spain.

Come on you, Grand Central 180114 pulling into York working 1N96 to Sunderland.

Right behind is my 1S31 heading home to Edinburgh.

A little bit of snow dusting through the Grantshouse area on 1S07 this afternoon.

A rather wet morning here in Edinburgh. All here with 801230 and 1E08.

Should be a good shift today, only working 1E08 down to NCL and back up with 1S07 for a lunchtime finish.

Favourite Stations

Meet Nay, a London Underground tube driver who has a real soft spot for Bow Road station.

I've started a new branch of the Tube Mapper project exploring people's favourite stations or stops on the London Tube Map.

Tomorrow the new blue, red & white GBR livery & brand will be launched. The new design will be displayed on digital displays at a number of major stations. The DfT says the livery will appear across already publicly owned train operators from spring 2026, with the roll-out being gradual. 📷DfT

It’s ehhh…. Uh huh….. 🤔

If you work on the DLR, you need Rocky-level toughness
because the company gives you ZERO sick pay.

Heading into the Channel Tunnel today on train 9044 and celebrating a historic moment: on 1 December 1990, 35 years ago, French and British teams broke through and met under the sea for the first time. Thanks to their achievement, our Eurostar trains now cross the Channel in 20 minutes.

To mark 35 years since the Channel Tunnel breakthrough, here's a timelapse taken from the back cab of a eurostar train. 50 kilometres in about 50 seconds.

A snowy and cold Scarborough but the team at East Yorkshire Motor Services keep you moving!
