Today we’ve taken the first step to bring our railways back under public ownership and deliver more reliable services for passengers. Great British Railways will manage the network and public services under one body, creating a unified, simplified rail system.

I am so sorry someone on our railway said this to you. Maybe they’d had a bad day at work, or in their life; I’d like to think they weren’t always like that. You’re entitled to the service everyone else is - and the railway’s job is to help you get where you want to go. Peter

Sadly, you’re entirely incorrect. We are restoring it. Petition unneccessary. PS: we are Network Rail......

First train through the Eastern bore of Gasworks Tunnel at Kings Cross for many years; Eastern Region of NR increasing capacity on the East Coast Main Line, building back greener, and creating economic growth, jobs, housing and social cohesion.

Today is 15 years since the 7th July bombings. I will be thinking of the bereaved and injured, and also of the heroism and selflessness of those who went to help the dying and injured; and also of our magnificent London transport staff, who kept the buses and Tube going. Peter

Tomorrow, where it’s safe to do so, my Network Rail colleagues and I will observe a one minute silence at 1000 in remembrance of Gareth Delbridge and Michael Lewis, who died after being struck by a train last week. We mourn them, and send our love to their family and friends.

This is drivel. Our vegetation programme reduces the danger of reduced signal sighting for drivers, and leaf fall, leading to trains sliding past signals, as well as reduced adhesion leading to late trains. And it’s not secretive at all; see our website. Crap journalism.
