    As we hit the home straight on 300 episodes, it's nice to dwell on a few milestones given we remain INDEPENDENT and MOSTLY RUN BY A SINGLE IDIOT. We've had 1.2 million views/listens so far, we've been selected more than once as the leading railway podcast IN THE WORLD, and...
    Spotify Wrapped big red thing saying "a 2025 most shared show" and that we were shared more than 89% of shows
    Spotify Wrapped big purple thing saying "a 2025 talked about show" and that we received more comments than 96% of shows
    Spotify Wrapped big yellow thing saying "a 2025 marathon show" and that fans listened to us for longer than 97% of shows
    Spotify Wrapped thing showing our most popular listening countries and lo and behold it's all the anglophone ones, with the UK at the top

    Feels like a nice quiet day to drop some new merch... railnatter.creator-spring.com/listing/sacked
    it's an orange mug, on which the words "See it. Say it. Sacked." are printed above a wee version of the #Railnatter logo

    We're always grateful for post in the PO box at Natter Towers... Particularly when we find out we've annoyed some bigoted guy. Sorry [some bigoted guy], but this is an unashamedly pro-trans podcast 🏳️‍⚧️
    a screenshot of a review on Spotify podcasts from an irritated listener who is apparently annoyed about trans rights and the fact that discussing HS2 involves politics... "Came for a [sic] HS2 chat. Ended up getting trans rights (no I) and political bashing. Thoroughly disappointing."

    Replying to @Railnatter
    And anyone who thinks you can talk about HS2 without talking about politics isn't a grown up and therefore falls outside of our target audience. This show might be more in their wheelhouse:

    Which of these headlines do you think is more impartial/accurate? The first (real) one, or the three we've mocked up?
    A real BBC News article with the headline "HS2: Midlands and northern England to get 'reallocated' funds"
    An almost-real BBC News article with the headline "Government repeats 'reallocation' claim following HS2 cancellation"
    An almost-real BBC News article with the headline "'Reallocation claims following northern high speed line cancellation are misleading"
    An almost-real BBC News article with the headline "Further promises of unfunded projects following northern high speed line cancellation"

    I’ve just had the pleasure of driving 0Z73 from Eastleigh Works to Landor Street in the pouring rain 🤩 It’s taken me a little while to get used to driving at any speed greater than 5mph, but today is the first day I felt truly confident in my ability to drive. 🥰🚂💙
    I’m at Eastleigh Works in my bump cap and hi viz jacket. Behind me sits 73970
    73970 and 66730 coupled up and ready to go!

    Nice to see a few of these out in the wild already! #SeeItSayItSacked
    it's one side of an orange mug that reads "see it, say it, sacked" and it's being held up in front of a window with some cacti in shot
    it's the other side of the same mug, on a shelf surrounded by board games and books

    WE'RE BACK, WE'RE LIVE AND WE'RE ANGRY 🤬 What better thing to do than throw the planned episode in the bin and talk all things HS2, given that Hunt, Sunak and Harper have completely cancelled it. It's a Q&A, so bring your Qs! LIVE, Weds/7pm: youtube.com/watch?v=QBmySo…

    As we just identified on tonight's show using the latest ORR data, the average train length on EMR is... 4.6 coaches. Yes, this includes some secondary services, but the lions share of trains are intercity services that should all be 9-car trains at least. Squeeze 'em in!

    With @UKLabour dithering worryingly on reinstating HS2 to Manchester and Leeds, let's take the chance to look at how the finished railway might fit into a fully-complete high speed network for the UK and Ireland... 🇬🇧🇮🇪 Join LIVE at 8pm on Weds: youtube.com/live/pd8wLGViQ…
