If you work on the DLR, you need Rocky-level toughness
because the company gives you ZERO sick pay.
Share if you agree: No worker should have to fight for sick pay.

Heading into the Channel Tunnel today on train 9044 and celebrating a historic moment: on 1 December 1990, 35 years ago, French and British teams broke through and met under the sea for the first time. Thanks to their achievement, our Eurostar trains now cross the Channel in 20 minutes.

To mark 35 years since the Channel Tunnel breakthrough, here's a timelapse taken from the back cab of a eurostar train. 50 kilometres in about 50 seconds.

Some jointed track roughness despite the class 170 doing its best to soften it….

It was so cool to finally get to see inside this amazing warehouse of all things transport in London.
