🚄 How it started vs how it's going ... 43013 at Frosterley in 1990 on a railtour. This power car is now part of the New Measurement Train (NMT) and can be seen passing Liskeard in 2024. What is the NMT? 👉 bit.ly/4s9ve9u 📷 : Richard Allen, Malcolm Ashworth

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
