We’ve written to Network Rail calling for a renewed performance improvement plan, for its Eastern region. This follows a rise in delays attributed to Network Rail, up from 2.4 million minutes to 3.3 million minutes per year over the past two years, and continuing decline in the punctuality and reliability of freight and passenger services.

My thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who sadly lost his life and all those involved in the terrible train collision incident that occurred near to Llanbrynmair, Powys, last night. Office of Rail and Road (ORR) Inspectors are attending the scene of the incident and will work closely with other agencies to establish what has happened.

Congratulations to the team behind the Elizabeth line on its RIBA Stirling Prize win. Take a look back at our stations authorisations in 2022: https://lnkd.in/eevbtD3A
The Elizabeth line has won the prestigious 2024 RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture! 🏆🚇 Howard Smith OBE, TfL's Director of the Elizabeth line, said: “Winning the RIBA Stirling Prize is a wonderful testament to the efforts of so many behind the world-class architecture, engineering and design involved in creating one of the most popular railways in the country.” It’s a big win for London and everyone who uses TfL's service. Next time you take the Elizabeth line, remember you’re travelling on an award-winning part of the network! 🚆👏
