The railway desperately needs some innovation (or is it just common sense) to avoid this absurdity.
Return trip to London with my son and a bicycle, booked via @thetrainline’s admittedly nifty cycle reservation and split ticketing feature. I have 28 individual tickets. There must be a better way…
Railfuture Innovate (www.railfuture.org.uk) retweeted
Rail tickets are now more environmentally friendly thanks to a revolution in production through partnership between the RDG and @IDParagon! A two year-long project changed the solvent-based production system to a water-based one and has reduced the environmental impact by 87%.
Northern equips dmu to undertake infrastructure monitoring while in passenger service. Will enable Network Rail to reduce its dependence on specialist monitoring trains. railwaygazette.com/uk/northern-un…

@NETTram Nottingham isn't the first city to think of charging £365 for annual adult season pass. Vienna's operator (Wiener Linien) has sold it €365 annual adult pass covering all forms of public transport within the entire state (Land) of Vienna for more than a decade. Enormous take-up.
@GarethDennis @71PA2 @LevelBoarding Good question but sadly lots of reasons why not. Freight trains would have a problem with higher platforms, for example. Really good RSSB presentation given to @Railfuture on "Towards step free journeys: the challenge of platform – train interface" See: railfuture.org.uk/display3021
Railfuture Innovate (www.railfuture.org.uk) retweeted
As more people see @LevelBoarding in action, more people will realise that it's baffling (and unacceptable) not to be standard across the network:
Paging @GarethDennis The woman with the buggy was very impressed by our new 231's
@fbermingham @mrjamesob A good feature of the TVMs on Belgian railways, is that (in certain cases) if there is a cheaper offer they will change what you have requested (to something that has the same travel conditions) and tell you that they have saved you money.

An autonomous shunting locomotive (which uses 5G) is being tested in Finland. It would be used at freight terminals, industrial sites and ports (i.e. where the public are not present). Read more at railwaygazette.com/traction-and-r…
A moveable overhead conductor rail to eliminate the need to use diesel locomotives at freight terminals where traditional fixed electrification equipment would obstruct loading and unloading is being demonstrated in the UK, and a trial in India is planned railwaygazette.com/uk/movable-ove…
Read the 24-page February issue of #RAILEAST newsletter from @RailfutureEA at railfuture.org.uk/tiki-like/east…. (Will arrive by post this week.) Soham, Cambridge South, Ely update, station footfall, Transport East 30-year plan and much more.
The next @RailfutureEA public meeting will be in Bury St Edmunds on Saturday 26 February at 14:00. There will be a guest speaker talking about our future rail strategy for East Anglia. This will include the AGM, at which only members may vote. Flier: railfuture.org.uk/east/meetings/
Preparation work has begun at Ely station for the expanded ticket hall and new waiting room (photos by Martin Thorne).
The rebuilt ticket hall at March station is now open and in use by travellers (photo by Martin Thorne), although not much to see at present. The car park extension is still under construction.
