UK to stay in Interrail scheme after U-turn

UK train companies will stay in the Interrail scheme, reversing Wednesday's decision, the operators' group says.

The Rail Delivery Group (RDG), which represents UK train operators, had said the arrangement would end in January following a dispute with Eurail Group which manages the scheme.

But it prompted a backlash, with Transport Secretary Grant Shapps calling for a U-turn.

RDG said it had reversed course "following the strong reaction".

Phew. Glad they saw sense

Haha same that would be my nightmare!

Rail line becomes world's first to be powered by solar farm

The world’s first solar farm to power a railway line directly is set to plug into a track in Aldershot, Hampshire, paving the way for solar-powered trains in the future.

Around 100 solar panels have been installed at a site trackside, and will supply renewable electricity to power the signalling and lights on Network Rail’s Wessex route.
