Am 12. August 2020 entgleiste ein Passagierzug im Nordosten Schottlands: Drei Personen, darunter der Lokführer, starben. Das Bahnunternehmen #NetworkRail wurde nun aufgrund schwerer Versäumnisse schuldig gesprochen.

On to a bit of #EngineeringGeology and #GeotechnicalEngineering, the erosion is a serious problem for any structures built on or near the coast and there is a mainline railway track on the route to London which runs along it on this stretch. #NetworkRail is busy trying to stabilize and strengthen the cliffs using #RockAnchor, #RockBolts and #meshing to retard the process. Here you can see workers #abseiling as part of their work.

Pup on Rails - a thread for #PupAllTheStations (1/4)
(no touristy pictures following - sorry!)

what could go wrong if you hand a 5-day #interrail ticket to someone like Rufus?
exactly - fear and terror be spread on #scotland's rail network.
our trip extended to over 1500 km and 26 hrs of 'train time' in total

but the journey started off with an easy trip from Newcastle (#NCL) via Carlisle (#CAR) to Glasgow...

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jun/14/blind-man-who-fell-on-to-rail-tracks-sues-network-rail-over-lack-of-tactile-paving

#NetworkRail have spent £££££££ on installing security barriers and automatic ticket readers in stations across the country. Why didn't they install tactile paving at the same time?

The Office of Rail and Road have quietly published Proposals to modify timetable publication in Network Rail’s licence and in there they're proposing is to reduce the #NetworkRail network licence requirement to publish a #train #timetable 12 weeks in advance of services running to 8 weeks.

For people like me, who plan long and complicated journeys, so like to do so well in advance, this is bad news.

If you're similarly annoyed then do respond or it will just go ahead.

There are diverted trains and replacement buses between #Manchester and #StokeOnTrent after overhead power cables were damaged earlier today. #NetworkRail say the route cannot be used until tomorrow as repairs are taking place. #TrainDelay

An excellent bit of planning by #NetworkRail - no direct #London to #Scotland trains on either the #EastCoast or #WestCoast all weekend.

This is appalling from Network Rail. With a need to replace old, inaccessible foot bridges, they plan to install new, inaccessible bridges. Not only that, they are celebrating the concept and justify it by saying the old bridges were inaccessible anyway, so there’s no need to improve the situation. #A11Y #NetworkRail #Bridges Anger over ‘disgraceful’ Network Rail plan for more inaccessible footbridges https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/anger-over-disgraceful-network-rail-plan-for-more-inaccessible-footbridges/

I imagine that this is what our railways will look like if #NetworkRail cuts all of the jobs that they've been told to cut.
This is one of the big reasons for the ongoing #RMTstrikes 🚂

This is poor from Network Rail, and the reasons they are putting forward sound very much like excuses created to explain why they designed a bridge which is inaccessible to anyone in a wheelchair.
