    On Friday (19 July), there was a trespasser of an unusual nature on the tracks at Ascot as an escaped tortoise called Solomon was moving โ€˜at paceโ€™ (according to the incident report) towards Bagshot.

    Network Rail teams arranged for the next train heading into Ascot from Aldershot to stop shortly to allow the tortoise to be rescued, getting the shellebrity onto the train to bring it into the station.

    โš ๏ธ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Video from #Addlestone - this is whatโ€™s causing the disruption to @SW_Help customers on the route via Chertsey. Itโ€™s liquified mud thatโ€™s flowed onto the live rail and turning to steam. Once the mud has stopped flowing we will work on getting it cleared.

    We also ask that our lineside neighbours ensure that their fencing is secure to prevent human, or animal incursions onto the track.

    Thanks to everyone for your patience as we start the progress of recovery after the #Salisbury accident. The first of the @SW_Help carriages is now on its way to be loaded onto a lorry and taken off. This picture also shows why London Road is closed.

    ๐Ÿ“ขGood morning. We have some better news for @SW_Help customers following the Hook landslip. At the weekend, our engineers successfully changed the track layout so that we can have a line running in each direction.

    Sometimes nice things happen on the railway pt 1: This wee girl was spotted by train drivers curled up and terrified in between the rails of our electrified railway, with trains passing over her head. An @SW_Help driver stopped his train and picked the smol furry up... /1

    Our apologies to @SW_Help customers delayed by a broken rail at #Woking this morning. We are going to plate this rail now, so we can at least run trains s l o w l y over it today, until we have time to replace it completely. Thank you for your patience!

    At the weekend a phone was left off the hook at a foot crossing near #Tisbury ๐Ÿ“ž We despatched a Moo-bile Operations Manager who soon found out who was responsible and put the phone back ๐Ÿ‘ท Remember, level crossing safety is really important - even for cows ๐Ÿš‰ ๐Ÿ„
