Great to be back on BBC Radio Lancs today talking about the importance of #Sustainability initiatives such as the @green_lancaster #DontDitchIt project during these times.
Our own @dnaxe spoke to @BBCLancashire earlier today about the #DontDitchIt campaign and how to donate. Listen again here from 38 minutes 👉 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08qr8…

Great day with @HardknottForest @green_lancaster in Duddon Valley removing spruce from the former plantation to enable natural regeneration of oak, birch, willow etc. Thanks to John & Craig for hosting us. Ride up from Foxfield on #CumbrianCoast Line.

With @HitachiRailEU IEP trains confirmed for West Coast they are now officially the HST replacement train & will run InterCity services on ECML, MML, WCML & GWML from early 2020’s. I hope diesel engines are removed from any bi-mode units asap with much needed line electrification
First Trenitalia has awarded @HitachiRailEU a £350m contract to supply 10 electric and 13 bi-mode inter-city trains for @avantiwestcoast services bit.ly/2s4GQ3z

A great development in the reconnecting Central Europe with Scandinavia with #LowCarbon overnight rail travel. Opens the door to more continuous & comfortable travel UK-Scandinavia compared with existing daytime/overnight options with seats only.

Wow, this looks incredible. This is what ultra low carbon & time efficient travel fit for the challenges 21st century looks like. Now we need these running all across Europe with pricing structures for modes of transport set by governments to incentivise air to rail modal shift
Für alle, die mit Fotos mehr anfangen können: So schauen die neuen #nightjet ab 2022 aus 😍

Great to see the national operators of Switzerland, Germany, France & Italy collaborating on integrated #LowCarbon international InterCity rail traffic in response to the #ClimateEmergency & #ModalShift from air. UK take note; none of these trains are electric diesel hybrids!

Just 2 of the #ManyNotFew superb transport commitments in #LabourManifesto... "rebuild the fragmented railways as a nationally integrated public service" &... "We will deliver rail electrification and expansion across the whole country, including in Wales" #ClimateElection
Looking forward to @TheEAUC @EAUCScotland conference next week @The_Lighthouse Glasgow. Setting the standard for #sustainable events:
"In line with our sustainable ethos, the conference catering will be vegetarian and wherever possible ingredients have been locally sourced... 1/2

On board 17:31 @tfwrail MAN - CDF; full & standing 2 carriage class 175, crushed into the vestibule. I hope this is not the usual roster as woefully inadequate for evening peak departure on an InterCity route. I hope forthcoming TfW hauled Mark 4 coaches make it to CDF-MAN route.
