Buxton's fan window, by Joseph Paxton. There were originally two of these, with an enclosed train shed in between.
The 'British Rail' sign & the old cars reveal that the photo is 30+ years old.

This video has everything: #ModernComposition #olivetti corporate staff, vintage #BritishRail trains, and of course what is now #retrocomputing, but back then would have been cutting edge technology.
What a crazy world the British rail ticketing system is. I've just bought 12 tickets (instead of 2) for a journey to Barnsley but it saved me £85.

Why did British Rail build a double decker train? - by that nice Mr Hazzard
British Rail Britannia Class 4-6-2 No 70015 'Apollo' - ETW Dennis Postcard
At the railway station. Just heard the announcement: “Platform [number]. Arteria service to…” Why is there never “Class 455 service to”? I would definitely like it!

wikipedia says the British Railways Board (*not* BRB residual ltd) still existed as of 2013... but I can't lazygoogle anything more of it after that... does it still exist?
I can't find any evidence of it being abolished (eg. a statutory instrument) or any evidence of it still existing (eg. any annual reports)
If you travel in the UK by train - regularly or not, you can save £££s by Split-ticketing. Today I saved £20 for exactly the same journey, just for buying five tickets.

While we're not fully renationalised yet (and won't be until the ROSCOs are removed from the equation), this is a great next step!

Labour Conference 2024 Thatcherism's roots in public transport being ‘ripped up,’ Haigh tells delegates | Morning Star.
However, Haigh, "one of the most progressive and effective members of the government", also needs to tackle the train leasing companies, not just the TOCs.
As for HS2, let's see, but I wager it will look like the Burnham proposal.
