Plenty of sunshine & showers on the East Coast this afternoon as 801222 arrives at Peterborough with 1A22 Leeds to Kings Cross.

The final weekend of north main line closures this week, with @LNER again diverting via Carlisle. Plenty going on with @NetworkRailEC upgrading drainage at Scremerston near Berwick-a high flood risk location, ensuring we're prepared for the worst of this autumn's weather – at York, England

🌱 Our Summer Rail Garden has a new home! 🛤️ It now lives at @RailwayMuseum in York, where you can learn about all things rail - including how hot weather can affect journeys. See it for free on a day out during the #summer holidays: 👉 networkrailmediacentre.co.uk… #HotWeather
A public display titled "The Summer Rail Garden" features an elevated planter with various plants inside and a section of real-life railway. Informative boards attached to it include images and text about how hot weather affects the railway.

Two people look at a sign on the "Summer Rail Garden" - a large wooden planter with plants and a real section of railway - showing how hot weather affects the railway. Some plants are green and luscious, and others are burnt and dry.

Here’s something you don’t see every day - an @LNER Azuma in Bedford. It was on test last night - as we look for new ways to keep people moving when the East Coast route’s shut for engineering work. Small step, but could mean a lot more flexibility down the line. Full details👉🏻news.lner.co.uk/news/lner-az…
