It had been 6.25 on the Balmoral clock more or less since the start of lockdown when it stopped and couldn^t be maintained. It is now moving again so punters no longer have an excuse for missing the trains they are not allowed to travel on. Walter Scott remains stony-faced.

Northern Pacers are back! To create extra space on some Northern services it has been agreed that some Pacers can return to service from storage. On 22nd June 2020 a convoy of four sets made their way from Heaton to Newton Heath via Hexham and the WCML. By coincidence these elderly machines were following a brand new 195131 that was undergoing tests between Lancaster and Preston. With a toot from the driver, 142065/087/068/071 pass under Lightfoot Lane bridge dropping down towards Preston.

Scotland^s biggest stations held a series of events on Friday, May the 8th, to mark the 75th anniversary of the Allies^ Victory in Europe. With VE Day events taking place across Britain, Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley held two-minute silences and wreath laying ceremonies at the stations^ war memorials at 11:00. At 15:00 train horns were sounded in the stations followed by lone pipers. Network Rail engineer Darach Urquhart at Central and LNER train manager David Johnston at Waverley played ^When the Battle^s Over^.
