Becketwell in Derby will be the home of #GreatBritishRailways, which will bring track and train back together for a better railway for our customers and taxpayers. A modern national centre of excellence in a city at the heart of railway heritage ... @transportgovuk

A @GBRailfreight aggregate train passes Cossington in Leicestershire. 🚄 Did you know each freight train can move enough construction materials to build 30 houses? 👉 networkrail.co.uk/stories/fr… 📷 : David Rose #FreightFriday

We aim to reduce the impact of our work on your train services when looking after our railway. Like this summer, when we avoided 60 weekends of disruption by carrying out £20m of work in just three weeks. For better journeys. In collaboration with @Se_Railway

It was more done, less disruption this summer on the line from Waterloo East to London Charing Cross. We worked hard improving track and the stations, doing 60 weekends’ worth of upgrades in just three weeks. For better journeys. In collaboration with @Se_Railway
