The rail industry works with the Samaritans to reduce the number of suicides on the #rail network. Today is #BrewMonday when the Samaritans raise awareness of their work. You can have a cuppa and a catch up any time, any place, with friends, family or someone new.

Oh heck! The #weatherforecast for the next few days is all about #rain. But we are celebrating the crisp, sunny, dry #winter days along the #TyneValleyRailway and #ScenicRailWinter with @scenicrailbritain.bsky.social

Our Water Tower Café at #Haltwhistle overlooks the tracks and the station buildings on platform 2 so ideally placed for you to watch the trains; eat in or takeaway some of our freshly made food.
There are many railway stations, from Yatton to Carnforth to Gobowen, that boast wonderful independent cafés - and when is a steaming pot of tea and slice of cake not the best rainy-day plan?☕️

Check out our suggestions ➡️ #ScenicRailWinter scenicrailbritain.com/blog/rainy-d...
