🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚲 #Edinburgh #Waverley #railway station has renewed its partnership with The Bike Station to pass on unclaimed #bicycles for refurbishment and reuse. Each year, dozens of bikes are left at the station. Over the past two years, more than 60 have been abandoned after attempts to reunite them with owners. Bikes are stored in cycle racks for up to two weeks, then moved to secure storage for six months before being released if unclaimed. On 22 April, around 30 bicycles were collected and taken to Polmont Prison for cleaning and servicing as part of the refurbishment process. The Bike Station refurbishes and resells bikes at affordable prices, reinvesting income into #cycling access projects, maintenance training and schemes such as Kids Bike Life. The initiative helps reduce congestion at busy #cycle storage areas while supporting sustainable transport, skills development and wider community access to #cycling. https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/edinburgh-waverley-donates-abandoned-bicycles-to-local-cycling-charity

🚉🚧 Berrylands station in south-west #London will close from 11 May to end September for a £6m upgrade by Network Rail and South Western #Railway. During closure, SWR services will not stop and both platforms will be rebuilt, replacing timber sections with glass-reinforced plastic to extend lifespan. Works include upgraded lighting, CCTV, customer information screens and help points. A rail replacement bus service will run every 30 minutes between New Malden and Surbiton. Nearby roads and footpaths may face restrictions, parking suspensions and short-term closures. Preparatory works include vegetation clearance, utility diversions and ecological mitigation, followed by demolition, piling and modular installation. The operator says the scheme will deliver a safer, brighter station and thanks passengers and residents for their patience. https://www.networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/starting-monday-network-rail-and-south-western-railway-to-carry-out-gbp-6-million-upgrade-for-berrylands-station-in-south-west-london

Again, reservations should be mandatory and more expensive in the quiet coach! Additionally, they should only be available to those who only buy a single ticket! I always pay 5.50 eur just to be disturbed by those who are too stingy to buy a reservation on time so they end up sitting where seats are available, in the quiet coach! #travel #railway #train

Union Pacific No.4014 "Big Boy," a 4-8-8-4 steam engine, rolling along the southern edge of the Black Rock playa in Nevada yesterday morning. I'm off to try and catch the 4014 crossing the Clio trestle tomorrow morning. There's a forecast for rain and the humidity will be high. High humidity makes for nice steamy steam engines! 2/x #Train #Trains #RailRoad #Railway #RailFan #UP4014 #BlackAndWhite #MonoChrome #Photography #Darktable

The Union Pacific No.4014 "Big Boy," a 4-8-8-4 steam engine built in 1941, rolling over the Clio Trestle on the historic Feather River Route in Northern California this morning. I was hoping for some steam action because it was cool and humid, as compared to two years ago when the 4014 last traveled this route, but I didn't expect this! 3/x #Steam #SteamEngine #RailFan #Travel #Railway #RailRoad #Train #Trains #BlackAndWhite #MonoChrome #Photography #Darktable

It was a challenging day chasing the UP No.4014. It was very slow coming up the hill in the Feather River Canyon. By the time it got in the area where I was, it was late in the day and the light was fading fast. With the rain, and snow further up the hill, the 4014 was really blowing steam! (Keddie Wye, Feather River Canyon, Northern California.) 5/x #Train #Trains #RailRoad #RailWay #RailFan #California #Photography

The No. 4014 entering the Williams Loop, a rail spiral on the Union Pacific Railroad's Feather River Route. It was really chugging heading up the hill to the Sierra Valley & summit at Beckwourth Pass. I was standing on the upper part of the loop as the train crossed under me. Very impressive the steam / smoke / power of that engine under full load. It's water capacity is 95,000L (25k gal) & it consumes 760L per mile! 6/x #Train #RailWay #BlackAndWhite #Trains #MonoChrome #Photography #Darktable

Here's a shot of the 4014 before it past under me to enter the Williams Loop in the Feather River Canyon of Northern California. It was really boiling steam and smoke chugging up hill in the Sierra. 7/x #Trains #Train #RailWay #RailRoad #SteamEngine #Photography #Darktable

One from Corfe last weekend that would qualify for StilleSonntag if it wasn't for the insistent kettle noise. One engine in steam, and the signal box was unmanned, so all working was from the Up platform, hence the wrong line working. Nice to see a preserved locomotive looking slightly scruffy. Rolling stock was immaculate. Taken on an actual camera and moving my photo workflow to Linux, so took 5x longer than usual! #railway #steamrailway #BulleidPacific #SpamCan

🚄⚽️ Stevenage FC and its Academy have formally adopted #Stevenage #railway station in partnership with Thameslink and Great Northern. A plaque was unveiled on platform 5 by MP Kevin Bonavia ahead of the Boro’s 2-1 win over Stockport on 28 February. Under-12s handed out artwork and safety posters they designed, and will help plant flowers in the club colours. Thameslink and Great Northern have supported the Academy for 12 years, providing free travel for players and collaborating on community campaigns. The initiative aims to deepen the club’s engagement with the local community, with a job swap seeing a young player record a station announcement while the rail company’s announcer attended the match, playfully adapting the “See It. Say It. Sorted.” message. https://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/govia-thameslink-railway/pressreleases/see-it-score-it-sorted-stevenage-fc-adopt-station-in-partnership-with-thameslink-and-great-northern-3434880

This morning at Clapham Junction, South Western #Railway (SWR) surprised passengers with a ballet performance by students from the Royal Academy of Dance. The dancers performed ‘Extended Lines’ aboard an Arterio train, celebrating the fleet’s rollout to all 96 stations on SWR’s suburban network. The five Senior Scholars, aged 15–16, moved through pliés, penchés and jetés, showcasing their artistry while highlighting the train’s larger, more comfortable carriages with Wi-Fi and charging points. SWR now runs 35 Arterios across more than 400 daily services, linking #London #Waterloo to destinations including #Dorking, #Guildford, and #Windsor. https://www.southwesternrailway.com/other/news-and-media/news/2026/february/ballet-training

Greater Anglia has hosted nine Cub Scouts from Ipswich at its training academy in #Stratford, giving them the chance to use its high-tech train driving simulators. The visit was arranged with the East #Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership and included Cubs from the 9th and 31st #Ipswich Scout Groups. Driver Trainer Mark Robson introduced the group to train operations before supervising sessions in the full-size simulator cabs, which replicate real routes, weather conditions and hazards across the Greater Anglia network. Each Scout practised basic driving skills in a range of scenarios. Staff said the visit aimed to inspire interest in the #railway, while Scout leaders described the day as enjoyable and rewarding for the group. https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/about-us/news-desk/news-articles/greater-anglia-invites-ipswich-based-scouts-training-academy
