A screen shot from a Facebook video showing how bad the vegetation is ON the viaduct at Culloden; surely this cannot be good for its structural integrity? Looks like there are trees growing on it!?! The lineside vegetation is shocking as well. @networkrail @NetworkRailSCOT

@MarchantBen @MrsSHA123 @LNER @CrossCountryUK Last night on 1N33, coach G was a sea of red lights many with โ€œmay be reserved laterโ€ and people were walking up and down the coach and not sitting down because they assumed the seat was or might be reserved. If this MBRL was ditched, theyโ€™dโ€™ve sat down โ€œin confidence!โ€

The new issue of @truckingmag is now out; Iโ€™ve been to see this fantastic @DAFTrucksUK XG+530 FT operated by Paul Grimshaw; no expense spare on its spec! Iโ€™ve also test driven @ScaniaUKโ€™s R460 CNG tractor with new digital dash!

Day out in the @ScaniaUK P450 to @AldiUK RDC at Sawley. When I loaded in Huntingdon, I spied this @IVECOUK S-Way from Morocco which had arrived to tip, while this smart @VolvoTrucksUK FH540 was definitely worth a pic!

The @Daily_Express and @DailyMailUK should come with labels on their front pages: โ€œthe official fanzine of the Tory partyโ€ and a health warning that โ€œthe contents of our editorial policy bear little resemblance to truth. Goebells would be proud of their one sided โ€œnewsโ€ coverage

Classic old British Railways era enamel sign still proudly displayed at Lowestoft. Great to see traditional, and in this case genuine, signage at stations.

Been out with @VolvoTrucksUK today road testing this FH500 Aero with digital motors and a host of other extras to make it safer and more fuel efficient.

Utterly disgusting that @FIFAcom has awarded a World Cup to such a barbaric and abhorrent country as Saudi Arabia. Once again human rights mean sod all over FIFA getting bucket loads of cash. Will we see half time beheadings of political opponents?

Two NBL(?) locos built for export did a publicity/test run into Glasgow Central in the early โ€˜50s. The stock is Stanier LMS. Does anyone have any more information about the locos and this trial run? Where did they end up? What an amazing picture!
