Today we have unveiled our “Gresley 150” train, celebrating the life of Sir Nigel Gresley who designed the railway icons “Flying Scotsman”, “Mallard” and many others. It was a pleasure to welcome Sir Nigel’s grandson and great grand-daughter to Doncaster for this special occasion. #Gresley150

@Official_SeanC @AlexHynes @LNER Hi Sean! Our centenary was in 2023 so we felt it was time to retire that name - and Gresley feels a perfect replacement.

Innovation, speed and elegance. Words forever linked with the legendary LNER Chief Mechanical Engineer Sir Nigel Gresley - and values still vital to @LNER today. Sir Nigel designed iconic locomotives Mallard and Flying Scotsman - and today we’ve named an Azuma to mark 150 years since he was born.

Lovely to start this weekend’s celebrations of Sir Nigel Gresley’s birth with a service in Doncaster Minster, led by the railway chaplains of @RailwyMission and featuring music from Doncaster @salvationarmy Band, the minster choir and the @LNER male voice quartet. Thanks to all who attended especially his grandson and great grand-daughter, and to Ed Turner who made his idea for the service a reality. #Gresley150

@sarahknapton Hi Sarah. We’ve worked with Ask for Angela on this - people need to know we are part of the scheme, otherwise they won’t know they can ask our colleagues for help in this way. More details here: news.lner.co.uk/news/lner-beco…

Proud that @LNER is the first UK train operator to roll out ‘Ask for Angela’ across our network. It gives customers a discreet way to get help if they feel unsafe. 📺 Great to see it featured on BBC Look North last night.
