Metro: have you seen our new trains on test? teapaw.org/My_Metro/status/182955…
Also Metro: you can't take pictures as an enthusiast with filling out a form
🤦
We're happy for people to take 'family snaps' and selfies while on Metro, but if you’re interested in the stations or trains for larger projects – including as an enthusiast – you can speak to us first to gain permission. Find out more on our website nexus.org.uk/metro/useful-in…^DT

Very useful info for anyone travelling on LNER 👇
Another reason why @LevelBoarding needs to be a legal requirement for all new trains, stadler has shown it's possible
Everyone should be able to turn up and go on the railway
I got left on a train after it terminated at Leeds.
A @CrossCountryUK train.
@northernassist assistance staff.
Train managers didn't check the train. Driver noticed me as he went past, took 20 mins to find platform staff to get me off.
Missed last bus home.
Very disappointing to see the EMR ticket office at St Pancras being replaced with a bakery, I thought after the consultation we all agreed closing ticket offices was a bad thing...
@EastMidRailway @StPancrasInt
Newton St Cyres has to be the longest platform to use local door operation (and for all formations!) There's something funny about a 2car 150 (40m long) on a ~115m long platform using just one door!

Top tip for anyone who ticks off stations, trains cross at Eggesford meaning you'll have an hour to kill here. The Tarka Line Grill and Cafe next to the station is excellent 😁

Did you know @GWRHelp is the only TOC to serve all three 'Portsmouth' stations! Yes that's three; Harbour, Southsea and Arms (on the Barnstaple line)
@TarkaRail
The Wendy's in Croydon is a great spot to sit and watch the world go by (and the trams too 😁)
And the grub is good too

I had a few hours to kill before my train home, so checked out the Newhaven extension to the Edinburgh Tram network.
Mostly good, but the signal priority really needs looking at! I've never been sat waiting for so many traffic lights on a tram before
