The Railway 200 exhibition train ‘Inspiration’ is going west this spring, because some of the latest dates announced for visits include stations in Devon and Cornwall for the first time since Inspiration’s nationwide tour began last summer at the Severn Valley Railway. Since then it has visited stations and heritage railways in most parts of Britain, and welcomed 60,000 visitors to see a celebration of the railway industry’s 200-year heritage while also finding out what the railway offers today and tomorrow, with an emphasis on the many careers which the industry offers.

Train services through south London are disrupted this morning after yesterday’s derailment of a Southern train outside Selhurst depot. The incident was made worse by a failure affecting track circuits between Norwood Junction and London Bridge.
