It looks like some lovely restoration work has happened at Clapton on the London Overground. And, I see that the wonderful @RailwayHeritage is involved. What a good job! I look forward to seeing it all open.
The Brigg Line was doing its bit for Britains export drive with a daily succesion of coal trains carting coal off to the world via Immingham. 47174 is returning to Worksop passing Brigg signal box on 27th. May 1980 with an empty MGR set. © Philip Hewson.

#OnThisDay 54 years ago the Victoria Line opened between Victoria and Brixton via Vauxhall and Stockwell (Pimlico opened in 1972). It was intended to continue to Streatham Hill, Streatham, and Norbury but never made it beyond here. More @tubemapper magic buff.ly/c0fy7Mz
Testing of the replica 1825 train continues at the Weardale Railway concentrating on grades which emulate Shildon to Stockton. Departing Wolsingham Depot tomorrow at 1030 hrs for a 32 mile round trip to Bishop Auckland. Hope the burger van at BA station car park is open!!
Last @northernassist service of the week on the unique 1 round trip Monday to Friday Brigg Line service, was in the hands of, 150270 -2H00- 1320 - Cleethorpes to Sheffield Midland, kindly filmed at Brigg this afternoon 🎥 Kev Genney. tinyurl.com/briggtrainguide
1202 York to KX. A Class 225 set b Two late from York to let a fast London proceed. I’d forgotten how superb the ride is on these. The train feels like it’s gliding. Also, this is what a 1st Class seat should look like. Azuma was a retrograde step from a pass perspective.
Remember this? Paris is getting a whole new Metro network. It’s HUGE. And built fast. “The venerable Paris Métro is about to get its most significant upgrade in decades with the Grand Paris Express, a new 200km system with 4 new lines & 68 new stations.” cnn.com/travel/paris-n…
It's also a chance to post a picture of Nigel Farage from last year to pretend he's marking this event here, when he's actually in Abu Dhabi.
Britain used to explicitly link housing & infra; the Met railway would buy up land, run a railway there, and then sell the much more valuable land for development into new homes and towns. We've stopped doing this, but one small tweak would let homes & infra be built together🧵
So the @BBC will be showing the performance of Rod Stewart at Glastonbury but not Kneecap
Running these things underground should be illegal- @GC_Rail 180 101 arrives into Sunderland P2 with 5A65 from Rhyope Grange Sidings, forming 1A65 to London Kings Cross. Certainly a very loud departure!
Even these things were loud back when @LNER operated into Sunderland (although technically, there is still the daily ECS between Middlesbrough and Heaton Depot). That enclosed roof really does make the sound echo. I remember this being a crack of dawn start to get to York (05:39)
Calling all rail enthusiasts. Want to tick off both @northernassist Kirton in Lindsay and Brigg railway stations on the unique 1 round trip Monday to Friday service. Details below 👇
BRIGG LINE TO THE RESCUE. 🎺 The (yet again) failed canal bridge at Keadby near Scunthorpe ment the Brigg line was reopened for freight diversions. A diverted tank train passes Northorpe signal box this afternoon. © Agent Cleethorpes.
One #IC225 diagram to Newcastle from December. @LNER sets will also be reduced to 7-car formations to better match the Azuma acceleration.
This is an example of a general principle in urban economics: if a single landowner develops an entire neighbourhood, they are incentivised to maximise the value of the neighbourhood as a whole, not each plot individually. This often involves devoting land to public goods and…
