Monday 19 January - buy a hot drink on board an @lner.co.uk train and the proceeds go to the @samaritans.bsky.social
It’s for #BrewMonday - a cuppa, a catch-up, a “how are you, really?”, it might feel small, but it can make a world of difference.
Travelling with us? We’ll get the kettle on

Afterwards we laid flowers at the memorial and at 12.23pm, the time of the crash, held a minute’s silence. We remember the four men who died in the crash, the people who were injured and everyone who was touched by the tragedy.
