Thanks for coming to visit us once again Will. 🚂👍
Great to get out along the @nymr to learn about how they have stayed on track through the pandemic. Here’s a shorter version of my TV piece that aired this week (interviews cut-down for Twitter)

Commiserations to @AvantiWestCoast for just missing the APT’s record 640km run between London Euston and Glasgow Central, missing the record by only 21 seconds.
It was a fantastic attempt, but after 37 years the APT remains undefeated. 💪

This last year has made us appreciate our heritage more than ever, especially our Falling Sands Viaduct, newly restored and good for another 150 years, thanks to our generous donors and @HeritageFundUK. Another reason to celebrate #HeritageTreasures Day svr.co.uk

Such a pity none of these survived
Here's another of Robert's #IlfordSporti snaps, and another railbus. It is Park Royal railbus M79972 emitting a cloud of exhaust at Inverness on 11 June 1964. Dented; I wonder how that happened.
