🌹🚆 We unveiled our new commemorative poppy train on London Poppy Day yesterday as a tribute to the Armed Forces communities and all who served, ahead of Remembrance Day on 11 Nov.
We chose unit 700045 as a nod to 1945, the year when World War 2 officially ended.
Consider donating to the @PoppyLegion when you see them to make a real impact on veterans’ lives 🩶

For better journeys.

We’re saddened by the death of Sir Patrick Stewart, who was born and grew up in Mirfield before achieving worldwide acclaim.
This year to mark our transformation work at Mirfield Station, a portrait of Sir Patrick, painted by Castle Hall Academy student Tendekayi Mukupe, was installed there as part of TRU’s Routes to Roots community arts project.
Today it feels like a particularly poignant tribute, in the community where his remarkable journey began.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone in Mirfield mourning his loss.
