From a report on a new bridge proposed over the Cowley Branch Line: https://twitter.com/OxfordClarion/status/1843584339927544118Quite a swish artists' impression, but I hadn't realised that the Milton Keynes-Oxford-Cowley service was going to be operated by Class 170s in original Midland Mainline "prancing stag" livery... |

The Cowley service will run to/from Hanborough, not on EWR - those will go to Didcot/Reading & Swindon

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx243k4xep4oSome rail services were cancelled in Cornwall on Saturday morning due to flooding from a river.
Great Western Railway (GWR▸ ) said the disruption between Liskeard and Looe lasted until about 09:15 GMT.
The operator apologised for the disruption and said replacement road transport had been put in place between the stations.
The disruption followed heavy rain overnight on Friday into Saturday. Illustrated with an Intercity Express Train that (yes) would call at Liskeard but would have some issues getting cleared to run even one stop down the branch. The reasons for the cancellations are appreciated and not of GWR's doing but rather weather / geographic origin, and it's good to see that there's been an alternative in place for customers. There is similar understanding here in Wiltshire on my local line when it floods ... and there is also understanding when alternatives are advertised and provided.

I passed through Crediton on Sunday, over Salmonhutch crossing as well as the station crossing, and I saw no Electrostars... |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

From Barry and District News Interest choice of illustrative ticket - It appears to have been sold at 14:34 in the afternoon of validity, Anytime, and not on a railcard! To me, that is not just annoying or amusing, but bad advice ... |

Funnily enough, it's the same picture the BBC» used to illustrate a previous news item about Bristol Temple Meads, at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly7ygdx3ldo  |

Thanks, Marlburian.  Interestingly, that Reading Chronicle news item is accredited to "(name redacted) Trainee News Reporter". That perhaps says it all. |

Nah.....there'd be a photo editor that would assign the photo to the article unless supplied by the journalist (ie they toook the shot, rather than a file pic. like this one)
