Feb. 28, 1975 – In London, an underground train fails to stop at Moorgate terminus station and crashes into the end of the tunnel, killing 43 people.

Just realised, it’s ironic that Rob Grant should pass away on the very month that Red Dwarf was released. On Monday, February 15th, 1988, people across the UK tuned into BBC 2 and saw this on their screens for the first time… #RIPRobGrant

Today we remember the 10 people who died in the Selby rail crash at Great Heck, 25 years ago on 28 February 2001. Six passengers and four railwaymen lost their lives in this tragedy and 80 people were seriously injured. Today railway colleagues will be gathering in Newcastle and Selby to remember

Ewwww gen 10 switch 2 only Nobody wants a S2 lol

Not a day goes by when I don't quote #RedDwarf in some way. But despite so many to choose from, the iconic line from the show that best sums up Rob Grant's legacy is obvious "And the moral of the story is, "Appreciate what you've got", because basically, I'm fantastic." #RIPRobGrant

Following its transfer to Tyseley depot in January 1993, NSE-liveried Class 119 Power Twin DMU T575 51060+51088 had the red stripe repainted light blue to give it a Regional Railways appearance, although the makeover stopped short of adding a Regional Railways logo. It was pictured at Nuneaton.

#OnThisDay 31 years ago, the last Guard-operated train ran on the Central Line as the 1962 Stock was withdrawn. Extract from this longer 1994 film buff.ly/3Qf0LVi (Soi Buakhao) showing the Guard role on that line, very evocative for me and any other ex-Guard I'm sure.

One from yesterday. The old York Riad station

Still weird to see these here

Wanted to dabble in some fanart so here's Belfort and Lupin. This little series has cute moments, and the dynamic between these two is genuinely sweet #belfortandlupin #fanart

#OnThisDay 4 years ago the Class 456 were withdrawn from service. They were introduced from 1991 to replace the 2EPB units on inner suburban workings on what would become Southern, then from 2014 refurbished and transferred to SWR. Image: SavageKieran buff.ly/uvMpsCC

#OnThisDay 32 years ago the Class 309 'Clacton' units were withdrawn from services out of Liverpool Street (but some made it up north). The distinctive wrap-around cab windows were too expensive to replace so were progressively 'plated over'. John Woolley buff.ly/QkViy7A)

London St.Pancras of old! It wasn’t perfect by any means, but I loved it. The station was my home for years, from MML through to the EMT days. Watching the transformation of this mighty structure was nothing short of amazing! Not many 31s there these days though! #StPancras
