Storm Bert has caused so much destruction to the railways including railway lines flooded especially at Northampton. And more heavy rain is forecast.

These figures are 8 years old and pre-date the travel patterns and habit changes following covid. The point still stands, but surely there are more recent figures?

Trains and people do not mix, how many people needs to be hot before people stay off the tracks

This week on the network.... Sir Peter Hendy is still in his job after using bully boy tactics to personally get a contractors employee fired for voicing safety concerns at Euston station.

I like new "Končar" measurment train

Nice to see the East Kilbride line getting the upgrade and to be electrified so that ScotRail can start using their Class 380 EMUs to East Kilbride. Why not electrify the rest of the Glasgow South Western line all the way down to Kilmarnock and Dumfries. And to electrify the Stranraer line from Ayr to Stranraer so that Class 385s can operate to Stranraer from Glasgow Central.

The girl who played maddy smith in cbbc wolfblood interesting

They've cut down hundreds of thousands of trees(Not just the limbs) and erected a green metal fence around most of the network..... Yep let's go green let's have electric trains yeah

There is no hope.....

Sometimes hope isn't enough....

Shame that they released a video about steel making in Port Talbot not long after the blast furnaces closed for good. Most odd.

Why do you say 'switches' instead of points?

If you have removed the signal box without consideration to preservation, I would be very disturbed for the future, You have shown your utter disrespect for history of railways time and time again!

Andy Burnham doesn't look very happy!!

Thanks great information ❤

This week on the network, Sir Peter Hendy is still in the job after getting a senior engineer in a french contractor fired for voicing safety concerns at Euston station..... Safety concerns that network rail have now corrected, only in part.

Would be good to know more about the whole project - can't seem to find many details anywhere which is a shame! Would be nice to know if freight trains will continue to crawl under the north end of the station at 10mph or go a bit faster, for example.

They aren't "switches", they are "points". You would think that Network Rail would know!

Interesting stuff. Keep it coming.

Thanks for including the christmas link in the information box below to make it easy to check. <sarcasm alert>

what about the closure of the South Western Railway track between Axminster and Honiton where the track is being replaced inside the Honiton Tunnel

Why is this in portrait? Were not on tiktok here

Great footage but a shame the boxes are going 😢

Great information thanks love the drone footage 👍

Great drone footage of the infrastructure....

Long old trek for those engineers trains 😂

If she uses the crossing every day, what was so different about that day?. Being distracted is no excuse, at least she is sorry and admits her mistake. I hope she had to say sorry to the train driver as well. This video should be shown in school assemblies all over the UK, every single school regardless of proximity to a railway line. You wouldn't walk out into a busy road without stopping, looking and listening, so why do it on a railway line?.

Great job network rail! And thanks for making our railways safer and better!

Royal Mail changed again and no longer uses rail, madness (not their fault though, it's the track access charges wot done it)..

What the images show and the railway staff have to say is sufficiently interesting; you don’t need that silly music.

Left UK in 1963. Went back, first time, in 2005. I couldn’t believe the North Downs line wasn’t electrified from Reigate to Shalford Junction. And Wokingham to Aldershot South Junction not added to enable third rail trains Reading to Gatwick Airport! Also think the Marshland Line would be 3rd rail.

I do understand about engineering works and our railways always needs improvements. And lots of disruptions to rail services that causes lots of problems for commuters and tourists. And with more new trains coming into service.

As this is about the Southern region. Do you think that electrification on the Uckfield Line and Marshlink Line could still happen. And a new flyover or underpass at Woking to be built to allow trains coming from Portsmouth Harbour and Guildford to cross over or under the South Western main line.

Missed the part of this video that explains why the frequency of the replacement bus services do not match the frequency of the trains. We get that you need to do engineering work. But why, for instance is there zero directional signage at Guildford when the line terminates there to show us where to go for the buses? Which is confusing for someone unfamiliar with the line or the station. I've seen more than one person tripping over the poorly lit kerbs in the car park trying to get to a bus in time. Why do you keep the barriers closed, even though all the trains are piling off their entire loads, causing dangerous overcrowding on the platform? (got some fun videos to share showing this) Why does South Western Railway run buses on Motorway speed roads with no seat belts? Why are the buses sent off before anyone would has a chance from the unloaded train to reach them (see barrier problems above) Why does "the industry" charge full fare when the journey time is trebled? Can you see how it looks like you're "working with your industry partners" to help them increase the profit margin to their shareholders during the shutdowns? That's why we're fed up with engineering work - it's not because of the engineering work, which seems to be the premise of this video. Thanks for palming us off with "check with your operator" because, you know, it's our job to fund their bonuses.

Maybe Network Rail haven't noticed that more people use the railways on public holidays than workdays these days, so they should have changed their plans.

To have just the one rail link going through the second largest county in England which despite millions being spent to keep it open in bad weather is just embarrassing (Devon). Especially as Surrey remained untouched by Beeching.

To properly improve the Southern Region, redouble Salisbury to Exeter is a must.

What happens while the coke-fired blast furnaces are shut down?

Some of these words are not cultured

this makes you think about how dangerous the railway can be, and i, a train spotter know the rules of train spotting.

Entitled cyclists again.

All good, I'm sure, but please don't betray our glorious railway heritage by allowing a dreadful redevelopment of the wonderful Liverpool Street Station by superimposing a new hôtel, shops and offices, none of which is/are needed.

This is why freight is so important for the railways and having less HGVs on the roads can help reduce CO2. Fabulous stuff 🧡

I’m surprised that you found the wartime bomb and it was safely detonated without causing any damage to the railway nearby and the community.

Please do continue on improving our railways across the UK as well as helping our railways to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly especially with electrification works still taking place.

Fabulous stuff Network Rail. 🧡

Nice to see electrification works taking place on the East Kilbride line in Scotland. Plus you should continue on with the electrification works from Didcot Parkway to Oxford, Cardiff Central-Swansea, Cardiff Central-Queen Street, Leeds-York via Church Fenton and electrification on the Dudding Hill Line in Northwest London.

This week on the network.... Sir Peter Hendy still has his job.

Hi there my real Name is Mr Cannadine T. Boxill-Harris, I have another interesting idea for most of us Class 507, Class 508, Class 313, and Class 314 and that also includes those interesting Class 315 Very Very Loud 7 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Transmission Train fans out there, rather than scrapping most of those Class 507, Class 508, Class 313's Class 314 including the Class 315's maybe you guys can convert them. Including rebuilding most of the brand new refurbishment into the Volvo TD102KF Engine, Gardner 6LXCT Engine, Leyland TL11 Engine, Volvo B10M Engine, Scania N112 Engine, Leyland 510 Engine, Gardner 6LXB Engine, Gardner LG1200 Engine, Gardner 8LXB Engine, Class 507’s Class 313's, Class 314's and the Class 315's with a Very Very Loud 7 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearboxes and converting and that will also be including building most of them into a Two Carriages and Three Carriages per units of the Class 507’s Class 313’s, Class 508’s Class 314's and that is including those Class 315 Very Very Loud 7 Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Transmission for all of us Class 314 and Class 315 Diesel Train fans out there PLEASE. Are you still going to do this interesting type of Project? Class 507, Class 313, and Class 314 will be rebuilding the brand new Class 315 Diesel Train fans out there Pretty Please?

Would you like to see what an engineer's job is like? There is this web page i found, although its a model train, I think its pretty good. kzbin.infodKU4No74iMk?si=YVc8Ml_lZBJBxYwX the instruction are in the description.
