Tomorrow the new blue, red & white GBR livery & brand will be launched. The new design will be displayed on digital displays at a number of major stations. The DfT says the livery will appear across already publicly owned train operators from spring 2026, with the roll-out being gradual. 📷DfT

Heading into the Channel Tunnel today on train 9044 and celebrating a historic moment: on 1 December 1990, 35 years ago, French and British teams broke through and met under the sea for the first time. Thanks to their achievement, our Eurostar trains now cross the Channel in 20 minutes.

To mark 35 years since the Channel Tunnel breakthrough, here's a timelapse taken from the back cab of a eurostar train. 50 kilometres in about 50 seconds.

What's the best way to get to a major car-event? By train! Thanks to great efforts of the Dutch Railways (NS), which ran a train every 5 minutes, last weekend thousands of Formula 1 fans were able to travel to Zandvoort for the Dutch Grand Prix in a sustainable way. 📽 by Tijmen Voet on LinkedIn.
