I’m again proud that @LNER.co.uk has been recognised by Women in Transport for leading the rail sector in gender equity in a new report: “The company has demonstrated sustained progress on female leadership, with women in visible, transport-specific executive roles and strong progression pathways.”

A rare chance to get up close to an iconic railway structure today, and to hear about the work which goes into keeping the Forth Bridge in good condition by Network Rail Scotland and Balfour Beatty engineers. We had time to see an @LNER.co.uk Azuma pass over on its way from Aberdeen to King’s Cross!

No trip to Aberdeen is complete without a visit to Clayhills depot where the @lner.co.uk team were busy last night, refuelling and servicing ScotRail InterCity7 sets and cleaning our Azuma set ready for this morning’s 0952 departure to King’s Cross

The Tall Ships Races are in Aberdeen - we’re running an extra train today - at 18.15 from Aberdeen to Edinburgh - to help get everyone home! On Sunday the extra services will be 08.10 from Edinburgh Waverley to Aberdeen and 18.15 from Aberdeen to Newcastle

Huge well done to our Retford station team who have raised £5,000 for MacMillan Cancer Support in memory of colleague Kevin White, by doing a sponsored walk from Doncaster station to Retford station. The passing @lner.co.uk Azuma in this picture has a message for everyone who gave their support!

We’ve worked with FareShare, The People’s Kitchen and London to Slough Run to ensure our surplus food goes to those who can use it. Over six-months in 2024, we have donated 4,500 hot meals so nothing goes to waste. Sustainable service on the menu: how @lner.co.uk is driving down food waste

Happy retirement to Barry, Newcastle-based @lner.co.uk Train Manager, who working his final train this evening - the 2000 King’s Cross to Newcastle. We’ll miss Barry’s high standards and the mentoring he has given to our new Train Managers. Here he is at York on his way south earlier today.
