Happy Birthday #Felixstowe Line, which opened 148 years ago 1 May 1877! Today it has an hourly passenger service 7 days a week and 40+ container trains each direction each day. All stations are adopted by volunteers who've created lovely gardens/tend to the platform flower tubs.

@EastSuffolkLine @CommunityRail @EastSuffolk @FryerningFrame @GERrailsoc @GoodJourneyUK @railway200 @VisitFelixstowe @GreaterAngliaPR @felixstoweradio @FelixstoweChamb Cool! 🤓👍. Don’t forget the line between Derby and Nottingham opened on 4th May 1839. So it will be 186 years old on Sunday. 🎂

#OnThisDay 57 years ago, the Midland Railway's St Pancras Goods station closed. This vast complex where Camley Street is today pre-dated the Midland mainline by 6 years, so initially was accessed via the GNR. buff.ly/NMxE6aa

VE day display at Chappel and Wakes Colne station which played a pivotal role in the war keeping the airfields fuelled. The fuel dumps were in Station Road. The military personnel and armaments were carried by train. The station adopters wanted to remember the Anniversary.

Easy to understand why Stroudley’s LBSCR Class A1 / A1X locomotives gained their Terrier nickname; nothing beats that distinctive 'bark' of the exhaust.

Visited @PendonMuseum today. What an experience! The sheer extent of the modelled scenes and attention to detail is phenomenal. Even if you are not interested in model railways, you will still be blown away by the displays.
