The fact that tipper lorries such as this one don't come fitted with a speed limiter preventing driving at more than, say, 3mph with the tipper up, is just another aspect of our ridiculous car-dominated culture. This is the hill I will die on.

This shocking CCTV footage shows the moment a lorry struck overhead lines, causing the disruption this week between Stanford-le-Hope and Pitsea. Please take care around level crossings and railways, if you drive a vehicle check you know the height restrictions.

Current UK rolling stock policy: a 7 year old 125mph bi-mode express EMU running on a local commuter route (Bristol to Gloucester) with no electrification and speed <100mph. Meanwhile train to/from London is another 5 car like this one, and thus is rammed solid with people

The fact that a single errant truck driver has today managed to cut the whole of Devon and Cornwall's railway off from the rest of the UK on a bank holiday, ought to trigger a sea change in the penalties incurred for these incidents. It won't of course, but...

THREAD: Nice sunny day, so off to the garden centre. What's that you say? The UK's only open air section of Rigid Overhead Conductor Bar is just down the road, between Patchway Old and Short Tunnels? Oh go on then.

there's a whole thread (that I'm not qualified to write) on how people asking TOCs about *rail replacement buses* during a potential 1 in 50 year storm, is symptomatic of our car culture and inability to take road safety seriously

I see our friends at Bristol signalling centre retain their sense of humour, despite what the current flooding at Chipping Sodbury Tunnel must be doing to their workload...

A @GWRHelp Castle HST set pulls itself out of "the hole" on approach to Pilning with the 2C71 Cardiff - Bristol service this morning. The Eastern portal of the Severn Tunnel is visible in the far distance on the left

First time I've been on a train that's come to a stand underneath the famous Cardiff Intersection Bridge, and a rare chance to see the insulated paint coating for very low clearances up close

I don't talk much abt my mental health, because y'know, I'm a man, from the UK. But: there are days when I get so stressed about work I can't think straight, wake up at 4am and spend the night staring at the ceiling pointlessly wargaming my anxieties. Today is one of those days
