Want to ride aboard @ClanLine28 steaming at speed on the mainline? For this new @NetworkRailWssx video we put GoPro cameras on it and went to see @networkrail’s Haslemere signal box in operation. Fun AND interesting:

What a week its been! Hard to believe that a year ago today that Clan Line was about to haul it's 50th anniversary return to steam after major boiler works at Leaky Finders in Devon. Thank you to all our friends, colleagues & supporters who made it all possible.

🌟 #12PixOfXmas – Day 3: Haslemere 🌟 This Christmas, Haslemere station embraced the festive spirit and sustainability with the Haslemere Hub’s Christmas Decoration Swap & Share event! 🎄✨ Held on December 5th and 6th, the event invited the community to recycle, reduce waste, and refresh their festive décor. 🎁 People brought along their surplus decorations to share and took home “new-to-you” treasures, proving that a greener Christmas is a merrier Christmas! 🌟 A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event such a success. Together, we’re decking the halls in style while caring for our planet! 💚 #HampshireCRP #HaslemereStation #VolunteersRock #12PixOfXmas #SustainableChristmas #CommunityRail #Hills2HarbourCRP @SW_Help

Rail is vital for connecting communities across the UK, allowing nearly two-thirds of young people and 55% of adults to travel independently. This opens doors to jobs, education, and leisure - especially in rural areas with limited options. #ValueofRail raildeliverygroup.com/uk-rai…

#NationalTreeWeek is fast approaching. To celebrate, we'll be sharing some of our favourite trees from across the #SouthDowns The first is the 1600-year old Wilmington Yew. Pre-dating both the Norman Conquest and the church it sits next to, it needs all the help it can get.
