🏗️🛤️ Contracts have been signed to restore passenger rail services to #Portishead and Pill for the first time since 1964, marking a major milestone for the long-awaited scheme. Two new stations and around three miles of track will be built, with construction now under way and services expected to begin in winter 2028/29. The project, involving Morgan Sindall, Colas Rail and AmcoGiffen, will reconnect more than 50,000 people to the rail network. Backers say it will improve access to jobs, education and services while supporting economic growth across the West of #England. The line is also expected to cut travel times to #Bristol and ease road congestion. Funded by the Department for Transport and local authorities, the scheme is seen as a key step in strengthening regional transport links and encouraging sustainable development. https://news.gwr.com/news/sixty-years-in-the-making-contracts-signed-to-bring-the-railway-back-to-portishead-and-pill

Gee Gee Rider: 140m up Gaping Gill main shaft. Free climbed once, in 1988. Never since. Steve McClure and Molly Thompson-Smith are giving it a go this year. Jack Homan is filming it. We've donated the rope. Crowdfunder's open 👇 https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/insidethemountain #outdoors #yorkshiredales #gapinggill #documentary #uk #britain #england #crowdfFunding

Most trail shoe guides are written for dry American trails. Ain't much use on wet Yorkshire limestone.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿📔🚍🚆🚈🚇 The #UK #Government has launched a new national #transport strategy aimed at making journeys across #England simpler, cheaper and better connected. It will give local leaders powers and funding to expand contactless “tap-and-go” travel across #buses, #trains and #trams, building on systems in cities such as #London and #Nottingham. The plan includes over 40 commitments, alongside measures to keep travel affordable, such as fare caps and fuel duty freezes. A new partnership with Google will provide real-time bus tracking via Google Maps, particularly benefiting rural areas. Other initiatives include a £6 million Peak District pilot to better link buses and trains, and expansion of a national parking platform to simplify payments. The strategy also provides £40 million for local transport technology trials and new guidance to help councils deliver joined-up networks. https://dft-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/better-connected-tap-and-go-travel-across-trains-trams-and-buses-announced-in-governments-new-transport-strategy

Looking forward to the heady scent of Ransoms accompanying springtime woodland walks at locations like this in East Durham, NE England. Better known as 'Wild Garlic', I was surprised to discover the plant goes by quite a few other names. One such name is cow's leek as seemingly cows love to eat them. I was reading that down in Devon, dairy farmers have occasionally had the milk of their herds rejected because of the garlic flavour imparted to it by the cows having grazed upon the plant. I'm sure, with appropriate promotion, there is a marketing opportunity somewhere for garlic-flavoured milk! #england #durham #spring #march2026 #ramsons #countryside #woodland #photography

More than £100 million has been confirmed for active #travel programmes across #England over three years, aimed at helping people walk, wheel and cycle. The funding includes £78 million for cycle training scheme Bikeability, £16.1 million for Living Streets’ walk to school outreach, and £8 million for Cycling UK’s Big Bike Revival supporting adults back into cycling. Modeshift will receive £3.1 million for school travel initiatives, alongside smaller allocations for National Parks and transport hubs. The government says the investment will improve public health, cut emissions and make streets safer, while giving people cheaper travel options. Ministers say it supports wider plans to boost local economies, expand walking and cycling routes, and encourage more active daily journeys. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/cycle-training-and-walk-to-school-programmes-among-108-million-active-travel-funding-boost

Not on any obvious 'through route' the historic 'Kepier Hospital' lies tucked away on the banks of the River Wear downstream from the city of Durham in NE England. It has its roots at nearby Gilesgate where an almshouse (now St Giles Church) was founded by Bishop Flambard in 1112 AD and dedicated to God and St Giles, the patron saint of beggars and the crippled. This building, which took over the almshouse at Gilesgate was re-founded around 1180 AD, by Bishop Hugh le Puiset. At the Reformation, Kepier and its lands were granted to Henry VIII's Secretary of State, Sir William Paget, although later to a succession of lay owners. Of the original building, the gatehouse remains intact, the mansion survives as ruins, and the farmhouse is in private use. The 'Kepier Hospital' is a Scheduled Monument with Grade I and Grade II* listed building status. #england #durham #historicengland #photography

They did it again! The Lionesses won the Euros! God knows it often felt like the Lionesses were getting through this tournament by the skin of their teeth, but what an achievement! And what a nail-biting finale! Even watching the penalties on iPlayer now it's all over I get nervous. #Lionesses #euros2025 #euros2025finals #England #womensfootball #ChloeKelly #NiamhCharles #AlexGreenwood #LucyBronze #AlessiaRusso #KeiraWalsh #BethMead ... and ALL the rest of the team!

One thing is certain, the Sunderland East End skyline is going to change dramatically when the Lambton, Londonderry and Lumley Towers are finally demolished. It was last year that the announcement was made by Gentoo that the three blocks of flats would be bulldozed with repair costs of more than £15m needed for each block. Hi-rise living is perhaps not everybody's preferred choice, but I bet those living on the higher floors enjoy some cracking views looking out across the riverside and watching the big vessels coming and going into the Port of Sunderland. #england #sunderland #hirise #landscape #photography

Corriere.it - Homepage: Il primo articolo di Montale per il «Corriere», il racconto (non firmato) della morte di Gandhi: «L'apostolo della non violenza muore per effetto di un atto di violenza» Il Mahatma è stato ucciso nell’ora in cui l’India e forse la stessa Inghilterra avevano più bisogno di lui. La storia si serve degli uomini, ma va al di là delle loro persone e non realizza mai i suoi fini secondo una logica prestabilita Montale’s first article for the “Corriere” – the unsigned account of Gandhi’s death: “The apostle of nonviolence died as a result of an act of violence.” The Mahatma was killed at the moment when India and perhaps even England most needed him. History uses men, but goes beyond their persons and never realizes its ends according to a predetermined logic. #Montale #first #Corriere #Gandhi #Mahatma #India #England https://www.corriere.it/sette/26_marzo_19/articolo-montale-corriere-c06498fb-a783-4d35-b8b1-5f5d1c6bbxlk.shtml
