    Passengers travelling from Charing Cross will have spotted our new full colour departure boards, installed over Christmas (the data on the screens in the picture is a test!). They are brighter, clearer, colour coded and feature Underground updates too - we hope you like them!

    When #Hastings signaller Clive originally planned to come to work as The Grinch today, little did he know how right he would be about Christmas! A boy on a train spotted him this morning but his parents didn't, so somewhere in Sussex there's a family wondering what happened! /1

    This was Norwood Junction earlier today where a bus collided with a railway bridge, causing delays to @SouthernRailUK and @TLRailUK passengers. Trains are now on the move again with some delays but if you’re a driver of any large vehicle, you must know the height of it.

    “Why did my @Se_Railway train get held at Hither Green and another let in front of it? What is your signaller doing?!” We get asked this occasionally, not always so politely, so we sat down with Dan the ops man for Kent to find out. THREAD 1/

    ⚠️🚨 We're sorry to say the @Se_Railway #BromleyNorth branch is closed after this dramatic bridge strike on New Street Hill. You can see the girder and entire parapet have been knocked clear and it's unsafe to run trains. Importantly - it is also unsafe to pass under. /1

    We're close to re-opening the line between #ShepherdsWell and #Dover Priory - here's what the tree did to the poor @Se_Railway train a few hours ago. This is why we take poor weather and autumn conditions so seriously. We'll update you when we know the line is open again.

    VIDEO - we're really sorry for the delays to @SouthernRailUK and @TLRailUK on the Horsham line tonight. A defective joint on the live rail had to be fixed ASAP and this film shows why. It's all done now but knock-on delays are expected unfortunately.

    We are working with the emergency services after an engineering train caught fire near Dunton Green, blocking both lines between Sevenoaks & Orpington. Fortunately no one was injured & we’re now working out how to move the train so we can get @Se_Railway passengers moving again
