#Southern is supporting the recovery of a vital kelp forest off the #Sussex coast, one of Britain’s most biodiverse #habitats. The #railway company is funding a study by the University of Sussex and Blue Marine Foundation, using underwater cameras to monitor the forest’s recovery after decades of trawler #fishing. The research focuses on #biodiversity and kelp forest management. Kelp #forests, crucial to #marine life, coastal protection, and CO2 sequestration, were damaged by a 1987 storm and further harmed by commercial fishing. However, a 2021 trawling ban has enabled recovery, restoring marine life such as sharks, eels, and crustaceans. Jason Brooker of Govia Thameslink Railway, which operates Southern, emphasised the importance of supporting biodiversity, aligning with their commitment to sustainability. Xanthe Caldecott from #GreenTheUK praised the collaboration’s role in preserving nature and fighting climate change.

Work to rebuild #Colchester #railway station's car park has entered the design stage. The decked car park has been demolished, with a temporary access road and pedestrian walkway in place. The new design will increase accessible bays, improve lighting and CCTV, and add new cycle and motorcycle parking. The detailed design will be completed before construction begins, with the project expected to finish by summer 2026. The car park closed in July 2024 due to structural concerns, but other areas of the station car park can accommodate all vehicles. Greater Anglia's Asset Management Director, Simone Bailey, thanked customers for their patience and understanding during the works.

Today's historic photo of the day: 4908 in Candy livery sits in front of the #railway workshops at Bathurst, NSW, January 27, 1986.

Bathurst, 240km west of Sydney, is Australia's oldest inland European-settled town, having been founded in 1815. In early colonial days it was the administrative centre for the Western Plains region of NSW.

A predominantly red liveried hood style diesel locomotive sits at left of screen with a large modern industrial building in the background to the right with the Bathurst Railway Workshop in large italicised black lettering emblazoned on its side. A lower quadrant semaphore signal stands in front of the building and to the right of the locomotive.

#Southeastern and #Hornby have unveiled the Railway 200 ‘Javelin’ high-speed #train at #Margate station to celebrate the 200th anniversary of passenger rail services in the #UK. The special livery features iconic landmarks across Kent and the South East, marking the region’s connection to high-speed rail. 395015 is the first to showcase the #Railway 200 graphic, with more #trains to follow. The unveiling, attended by local businesses, highlights the transformative impact of high-speed rail, which saw over 15 million journeys in the last financial year. Hornby has also released a model train pack to commemorate the event. High-speed services, launched in 2009, have boosted connectivity, economic growth, and social mobility across #Kent and #London.

The image shows a large, modern passenger train positioned on railway tracks beside a miniature model of the same train. The full-sized train is sleek, with a dark blue body and vibrant yellow accents on the front. It is labelled "Javelin" and carries the number "395 015" on its side. The windows are tinted, and there are detailed markings in light blue and white. The model train on the gravel beside it mirrors the full-sized train’s design, including the colours and labelling, but is much smaller in scale. The setting is an open-air station with part of a white-roofed platform visible in the background under a cloudy sky. Photo by Southeastern
The image shows a close-up of two trains on parallel tracks. In the background, a full-sized train is partially visible, featuring a large colourful graphic with silhouettes of buildings and a spiral element. The text on the graphic celebrates a 200-year railway anniversary. The train is painted in dark blue with orange accents and has a visible door with a window. In the foreground, a model train sits on a gravel-like track. This model replicates the larger train with similar blue and orange colours, maintaining the same graphic and text on a smaller scale. The image captures both trains in a side view, highlighting their design and anniversary theme. Photo by Southeastern

I was surprised to see it announced today that Chiltern will be running services on the first leg of EWR. Not because it is surprising in the slightest, but rather because it has been such common knowledge for so long…

#Trenitalia #c2c has extended its partnership with security provider #Amulet for another five years, with an option for two more. This builds on a successful collaboration since 2011, focusing on passenger safety and experience. By 2016, Amulet provided full security services across c2c’s 26 stations. The partnership won the 'Partners in Expert Services – Public Sector' category at the 2019 PFM Awards. With c2c’s growing focus on safeguarding, evidenced by its White Ribbon accreditation and investment in internal teams, the new contract strengthens shared values. The partnership also includes initiatives like safeguarding campaigns, local recruitment, and fundraising for charities. New contract additions include tailored training, mental health first-aid, body-worn cameras, and continued community and social value commitments, such as green spaces, security apprenticeships, and #railway safety programmes in schools.
