On the 30th, my #Walktober was to the old #London #Necropolis #railway station, where thousands of dead were sent by train to Brookwood Cemetery. They've recently revealed their name again - alas not for a re-opening, but I think for a conversion to fancy flats. And then I went to see some scary #StreetArt faces underneath #Waterloo itself (alas no clear artist's signature) #photography #History #halloween #monsters #monsterdon

@Vibracobra23@social.vivaldi.net - when all these little stations were wrenched out of the landscape nobody realised, or probably cared, that it still has an impact, and makes rural areas, in many cases, completely inaccessible, without a car. And that means that many people, looking to move out to the country, including me, need to go from using their car once a week, maybe, to using it every day. Unless anyone knows how to teach my dog to sit, and to stay, on the handlebars of a bike..? #railway #travel #bike

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿📈🚉 #ScotRail has recorded its busiest week since returning to public ownership, with more than 2.1 million passenger journeys made between 26 July and 1 August. The rise reflects growing demand for rail travel to events, as well as business, shopping and leisure trips. The record week follows June figures showing more than seven million journeys, up six per cent on the same month in 2025. Additional services have supported major events including the #Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026, TRNSMT, concerts at Hampden and Murrayfield, and Glasgow’s Summer Sessions. Extra trains are also planned for the #Edinburgh Festivals. ScotRail said the figures showed the efforts of its teams and would support its aim of delivering a reliable, safe and greener #railway for #Scotland.

Where heavy trains once rolled and the steady clack of metal marked the pulse of industry, nature is now slowly taking back command. Weathered wooden ties, aged fasteners, and tracks disappearing into the high grass silent witnesses to a bygone era. ​Every detail tells a story of labor, movement, and unstoppable change. You just have to look closely to hear the stories whispering between the rails. #Bnw #Lostplaces #Monochrome #Railway #History #Blackandwhite #abandoned #railway #Austria

The #US airstrikes hit #bridges overnight into Friday in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province, killing at least 7 people, #Iran state TV reported. The attacks hit Bandar Khamir, a city on Iran’s coast on the #StraitOfHormuz. The #highway & #railway bridge strikes appeared aimed at cutting off Bandar Abbas, Iran’s main port, from roads leading to Tehran. #Trump #Congress #law #WarPowers #TrumpsWar #IranWar #WarCrimes #civilian #infrastructure #MiddleEast #RulesOfWar #InternationalLaw

🚄 Berlin to Sanremo This thread documents my journey home from #DWebCamp, exclusively via railway, expected to last 25 hours. More specifically: yesterday I travelled back to Berlin from Alte Hölle, Wiesenburg (Mark) station; today from Warschauer Straße to Berlin Hauptbanhof, then to München Hauptbanhof, then overnight to Firenze Campo di Marte, then tomorrow to Genova Piazza Principe, and finally to Taggia Arma. Most importantly, here is the playlist of this journey. #CrossBorderRail #train #rail #railway #Europe #EUtrain #EUrailway #DB #Bahn #Berlin #Sanremo #TaggiaArma
