    ☀️ If you're travelling this weekend, remember to carry a bottle of water and let us know if you feel unwell during your journey. Stations and trains on the South Coast, and those on routes to events like Royal Ascot and the Isle of Wight Festival, may be busier than usual.

    🐢Shello there, this evening there were delays between Ascot and Bagshot due to tortoise on the tracks. He has been retrieved and is now on his way home.

    That's ok Emma. He is a permanent fixture on the station - he is one of a series of sculptures in the town. ^NM

    Bringing Richmond station back to life ✨ Today we revealed the beautifully restored brass canopy of one of our most iconic buildings. The Art Deco facade of Richmond has been faithfully returned to how it would have looked in the 1930s, now flanked by 'Double Arrow' flags.

    🦔 This afternoon an unexpected customer was found hogging a service from Weybridge to London Waterloo. When challenged, they were a little prickly about their ticket too! Still, we can't blame them for hedging their bets... and they quill soon be on their way to somewhere safe.

    🚨Take a sneaky peak at the new Class 484 trains, which @Vivarail are busy working on. 🚆These will replace the fleet of 80 year old former Tube trains currently running on the Island Line. 😃The first train is set to arrive on the Island for testing later this year.
