CLondoner92 (New Account)A £26,000 grant from Great Western <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Railway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Railway</a> (GWR) has enabled Education and Skills Development Group (ESDEG) to deliver inclusive STEM clubs in <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Southall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Southall</a>, inspiring interest in technology and engineering among underrepresented pupils. Held at North and Hambrough Primary Schools during the 2024/25 academic year, the clubs have supported around 80 students through hands-on activities in design, 3D printing, coding, and robotics. Mentors include an inventor, a PhD student, and university undergraduates. Funded by GWR’s Customer and Community Improvement Fund, the initiative addresses the UK’s STEM skills gap and promotes educational equity. Mentor Ahmed Hadhoud said the project is igniting lifelong passions and helping students consider careers in technology and engineering. GWR’s Emma Morris highlighted the programme’s lasting impact, shaping future innovators and contributing to communities through education. <a href="https://news.gwr.com/news/inspiring-the-nations-engineering-innovators-of-the-future-thanks-to-gbp-26-000-grant-from-great-western-railway" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.gwr.com/news/inspiring-the-nations-engineering-innovators-of-the-future-thanks-to-gbp-26-000-grant-from-great-western-railway</a>

RailmapsToday's historic photo of the day: Exactly 36 years ago today, Queensland Rail 1067mm gauge first generation EMU set no 52 commences its journey to Beenleigh as it departs Ferny Grove, Qld, May 14 1989.Ferny Grove is 16km north-west of Brisbane on a <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/railway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#railway</a> from Brisbane that reached Ferny Grove in 1899, and was extended in 1920 to Dayboro. As Ferny Grove developed into a dormitory suburb of Brisbane, its rail services improved, but the line beyond to Dayboro was closed in 1955.

CLondoner92 (New Account)Historic hand-painted ceramic rail maps, hidden for years behind a news stand at London’s Grade II listed <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Victoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Victoria</a> station, have been restored to celebrate the birth of the modern railway. Funded by Network Rail and the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Railway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Railway</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Heritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Heritage</a> Trust, and overseen by Govia Thameslink Railway, the restoration marks a national celebration. The maps, created in 1899 for the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#London</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Brighton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brighton</a> & South Coast Railway, were originally part of a grand faience-lined entrance designed in the Renaissance revival style. One map shows the entire LB&SCR network, while the other depicts suburban lines, including many now lost stations. The maps were cleaned and restored by specialists, with damaged tiles and stonework meticulously matched. The restoration highlights the craftsmanship of the Edwardian era, showcasing the sophisticated use of architectural ceramics. The restored <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/maps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maps</a> offer a glimpse into the station's historic grandeur and railways' vital role in the UK's heritage. <a href="https://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/govia-thameslink-railway/pressreleases/victoria-stations-historic-ceramic-rail-maps-restored-for-generations-to-come-3385378" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/govia-thameslink-railway/pressreleases/victoria-stations-historic-ceramic-rail-maps-restored-for-generations-to-come-3385378</a>

CLondoner92 (New Account)Families gathered at Grove Park station over the weekend to enjoy readings from The <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Railway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Railway</a> Children by local author E. Nesbit, inspired by the area. Children dressed in Edwardian clothing explored the station’s historic <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#architecture</a> and listened to excerpts from the beloved 1905 tale. A guided walk led by Grove Park Community Centre highlighted local landmarks featured in the story, immersing visitors in Nesbit’s world. Train-themed toys from Hornby, Brio, and Plus-Plus encouraged imaginative play. Station Manager Lee O’Dwyer said it was a joy to celebrate the story’s ties to the station. The event was part of Railway 200, marking 200 years of UK rail history. <a href="https://newsroom.southeasternrailway.co.uk/news/the-railway-children-readings-at-grove-park" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://newsroom.southeasternrailway.co.uk/news/the-railway-children-readings-at-grove-park</a>

CLondoner92 (New Account)The <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/European" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#European</a> Commission has adopted new Guidelines to clarify how charges for using <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/railway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#railway</a> infrastructure—track access charges—should be set under Directive 2012/34/EU. Aimed at national authorities and infrastructure managers, the guidance addresses inconsistent practices and ensures charges support fair competition and efficient network use. It stresses that optional mark-ups must not hinder market entry and should align with goals of rail competitiveness. The guidelines are timely, following rail market liberalisation under the 4th Railway Package. Track access charges, a key cost for operators and revenue for managers, significantly affect rail service viability, market dynamics, and competition with other <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/transport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transport</a> modes. <a href="https://transport.ec.europa.eu/news-events/news/promoting-competitive-and-attractive-rail-services-commission-adopts-guidelines-setting-charges-use-2025-05-07_en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://transport.ec.europa.eu/news-events/news/promoting-competitive-and-attractive-rail-services-commission-adopts-guidelines-setting-charges-use-2025-05-07_en</a>
