Wannabe passengers who want to use East West Rail are being prevented by your executives spurious safety concerns. Perhaps think of those passengers who want to use this new railway rather than doing more politically motivated agitating.
RMT calls for ‘root and branch’ review following more power outages
RAIL union RMT called for a root and branch review of railway operational control centres following another outage forcing most CrossCountry train services to be cancelled.
The power outage in Birmingham affected its control centre, resulting in many of the systems used to manage the railway being unavailable.
Private operator Arriva runs Cross Country services which have yet to be taken in-house under plans for Great British Railways (GBR).
RMT general secretary Eddie Dempsey said that passengers and rail workers should not have to bear the brunt of another week of travel chaos due to insufficient back-up systems.
“We clearly need a full root and branch review of critical areas of railway operational control centres to ensure they remain unaffected by power outages,” he said.

I can't honestly think of a better place than on a 4-VEP with an ED up front to launch my University project 'The Glory Days of Electrics'. So after several months of work here it is, the completed digital exhibition: sites.google.com/view/theglo…

We're proud to unveil our latest named train, 91127 'Neville Hill'.
The Class 91 locomotive (in service since 1990) has received a new name plate honouring the current home of our InterCity 225 fleet in Leeds.
Ace retweeted
We're thrilled to share the news that 91127 was named 'Neville Hill' this morning in a ceremony at the Leeds depot.
The locomotive was named by Paul Corrie, who will soon retire after 50 years service. Paul won the Railway Benefit Fund's Lifetime Achievement Award last November.

Blast from the past!
The eagle-eyed amongst you might have already spotted our three specially-liveried HSTs out and about recently!
They’re getting spick and span ready for a special celebration of the contribution of the fleet to the CrossCountry network.
