Out and about early with celebrity unit ‘The Northumbrian’ as it prepares to work 2D03 to Darlington from a chilly Saltburn. Morning just starting to break upon departure. Unusually tranquil compared with weekday services too, everyone’s enjoying a lie in 😴

Laila Cunningham fell for the same thing that happened to Nigel Farage years ago. 🤣🤣 "And what was that, Mark? ‘I got hit in the head by a horse.’" She really thought she was going to have her moment, and you can hear the disappointment in her voice.

Coming soon to help ease congestion on the Northumberland Line 😉
In 1935, quarry workers in North Wales, used a single-wheeled device with a brake lever to ride down railroad tracks after work

🚆 In guards’ own words 41 first-hand accounts. Five themes. A closer look at the work of train guards. From emergencies and passenger security to everyday assistance, hear from the people doing the job. 🔽 rmtunion.org/guard

I’d suggest @Channel4 might fancy looking into who is paying for these 15 million ‘newspapers’
🚨 NEW: Reform UK will mail a new eight-page newspaper "The Reformer" to over 15 million UK households in an attempt to bypass traditional media [@JAHeale]

🚆 More than checking tickets. Our new website explores the work of safety-critical trained train guards through a serving guard’s testimony and first-hand accounts from across the railway. Safety. Judgement. Passenger care. Please read and share: rmtunion.org/guard

Reform want to rollback workers' rights and cut taxes for billionaires. Spain did the opposite - and has one of the fastest growing economies in Europe.

Members in our region will not be surprised at this. The level of assaults are increasing and intransigently linked to swathing cuts to BTP. Any action or arrests increasingly becoming highly unlikely. #ActionAgainstAssaults

Robert Jenrick is chasing a guy who stole a bottle of Coke worth about £2, but this is the same Robert Jenrick who helped his mate avoid paying £40 million in tax when he was Housing Secretary.
Shoplifters are running riot. Parts of the country are feral. If nobody else will confront them, I will.

What could possibly go wrong? I’m sure given the chap delivering the speech drives his as 125, he wouldn’t mind seeing that 2.5% achieved!
Replying to @ASLEFunion
In 2025, a Network Rail chief engineer put it bluntly: "For a sustainable asset, we need to renew 2.5% of our assets. We're projecting 0.75% – doing less renewals than we need to to be sustainable." The true cost of cuts is drivers', our colleagues and our passengers' safety.

Shock….
Trump has dropped his $10bn charge against the BBC after he was told he would have to give the BBC his Financial Records. Not suspicious at all...
