Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the railway by running a replacement bus service. 🤔
Twitter screenshot from @NorthernAssist. “Stations between Darlington and Bishop Auckland will close at times between 11:30-14:00 today, 26 Sept and Saturday 27 Sept. “This is to allow a special Stockton and Darlington Railway event with a replica of George Stephensons Locomotion Number 1 to run as part of the @railway200 celebrations. “Our stations will be closed during this time, with no access to platforms. Viewing events are taking place which can be found at sdr200.co.uk/anniversary-jo.. “Replacement buses will run whilst the stations are closed. Plan your journey at nationalrail.co.uk”

RANT OF THE DAY! UK doesn't seem to give a sh*t about disabled people!
Broken lift in Sunderland Station, then broken disabled toilet on @GCRail Train. I'm not disabled, so didn't have to crawl down the stairs or hold my wee in for 4 hrs, but what if I was!?

11th July 2021. A shot I took on Mrs P's Sony point and shoot camera with long zoom. Framed by the decks of two overbridges, @northernassist Class 156 approaches Manors with our train home, a Morpeth-Metrocentre service. 📸: ©️ Graeme Pickering
With signal T555 and overhead line supports in the foreground, a Class 156 unit is seen to the right of the frame, framed itself by two overbridges while approaching Manors station with a Morpeth-Metrocentre service on 11th July 2021.

Another one from Hebden Bridge. @northernassist Class 195 No. 195119 bound for 'Check station displays' (or Blackpool North as it's more commonly-known) with 1B25 ex-York this lunchtime. 📸:©️ Graeme Pickering
In sunshine with shadows, 195119 prepares to depart Hebden Bridge. The canopy of the platform is on the right side of the shot and conductor in the background in shadow plus red signal and station building on opposite platform in distance.
