hey you can’t go that fast on those tracks. pull over, we need to have a word with you

I have been seeing fewer and fewer class 455s out and about. I can’t believe they’d do this to my precious THEYRE TOO YOUNG TO DIE

ever hear of the Morpeth curve? OBEY THE SPEED LIMIT NO MATTER WHAT VEHICLE YOU’RE DRIVING

what i like about driving in LA is everybodys collective commitment to consistently going fifteen over the speed limit. whats the speed limit here? 45? great! lets all go 60

one time I got so excited about the possibility of making a cross platform transfer that I forgot to check if it was the right train and ended up on the wrong branch of the northern line

don't you go to sheffield? I think this is your problem

Due to budget cuts, we're having to roll back the Midland Main Line electrification and will rely on gravity assists for the final portions of the line. Sheffield is downhill from London, right?

I suppose since we've electrified the uphill bits that would work. however we have also realized that if the train isn't powerful enough to make it up the hill, that's the TOC's problem, not ours

They’d have to be diesel and that sort of defeats the point of electrification

an interesting suggestion. We may consider this going forwards

having just been reminded of the existence of periwinkles and their cool name, we here at network rail have decided to name all of the country's mainlines after various mollusks. get ready to take a ride on the Periwinkle Line (WCML), the Squids & Whelks Line (southwestern mainline), the East Coast Main Limpet (if anyone knows limpets local to the east coast we can rename it after them) and the Mussels Line (midland main line). we will take suggestions on more names. including some non-mollusk ones if they're good enough

you only like brutalism because you're made entirely of concrete

My roommate is unattractive and boring. Like non-brutalist architecture

the reason this didn't go on the main blog is because network rail does not operate passenger services so we wouldn't be ordering a bunch of passenger trains

due to a typo we have accidentally ordered our new trains from staedler instead of stadler. we encourage passengers to draw their own conclusions about how exactly this happened. which they'll be able to do with our new "trains."

nicknaming the class 99s 'flakes' is cute. unrelated i have a suggestion for what to call the class 69s
