Really hope there's a camera set up inside #Artemis2 to get the crew's reaction when #NASA tells them they have to use the #BritishRail #ReplacementBusService to get home after they have orbited the #Moon

Signs - Buildings: #09/16 Double Arrow

Many will know this sign as the symbol of British Rail. Although the company stopped trading in 1997, it has remained the symbol of Britain’s rail network.

Looking a little tired and weathered, this Railfreight liveried class 31 stands in the weeds at Llandudno Junction.

Post for my rail nerds: can anyone recommend good source books for photos and history of #LondonUnderground and/or #BritishRail around London in the late 70s/early 80s, for my next modeling project? Cheers.

The end of the Class 455s! Some desperate souls were out last night...

Personally I never liked them, but they served a purpose. The trailer coaches in these two units were built in 1979 and are older than the rest of the stock :-)

It’s a chilly start in Fort William. 37406 ‘The Saltire Society’ makes its way on to the shed having just brought the paper rolls from the mill in Corpach. Probably in for a splash and dash before heading south.

A Balfour Beatty Class 20, numbered 20905, sat on the tracks with it's cab lights on. In the background are some trees and a dark blue night sky. In the foreground are some out of focus rails.

Front view of Class 20, 20901, with it's taillights on. Behind it are some wagons, and to it's side are some piles of rocks. To the right are some walls, with some graffiti on them

A back/side view of 20901, it's far darker, with light on the yellow end. The sky is a dark blue colour.

Two storied locomotives with a very special train.
This is Balfour Beatty's drain train, which cleans areas of the tracks where drainage isn't great.
But arguably, the more interesting part is the locomotives, 20901 and 20905.
These are old Class 20 locomotives […]

Dec 1986 Poster Map issued by the Greater Manchester Passanger Transport Executive and showing a diagram of the railway network in the County at that time. This includes the now Metrolink lines to Bury, Altrincham and the Oldham Loop. The upper section of the poster is dominated by a photo of a BR "Pacer" train, in the PTE's orange livery, along with an interior view. The title "Greater Manchester's Railways - settingt he pace in Greater Manchester' is a play on the Pacer name.

50020 ‘Revenge’ stands forlorn in the scrapyard at Booth’s in Rotherham. With many miles under its belt, a no doubt a flashover or two, its time was almost up. A sad goodbye to what was one of my personal favourites.

Morning all, I hope you’re all doing okay. A wintery scene in Leeds City station in the late 1980s today, happy days of bashing these machines. This 45/1 is about to depart for Liverpool Lime Street from the old platform 12.

This has to be red stripe Railfreight in its truest form. The class 58, the final class of loco to be built at Doncaster Works.
58019 passes through Crewe with a rake of MGRs, doing what it was built to do.

This book soon became a bestseller (later in 1999, the spinoff of a "Europe Travel by Train" guidebook published and sold like hotcakes as well) and (both) easily made its way into a top 100 retailer ranked by annual sales.

The old and new order square up at Manchester Victoria. BRELs class 150/2 Sprinter stands next to 45007. The Peak survived until its withdrawal in 1988, meeting its end at M.C. Metals in Glasgow in 1992.
