Trevithick’s locos (& many other inventions eg world’s 1st steam road car) didn’t catch on, but his ideas did. He died penniless. So as we approach 2025 & celebrate George Stephenson as the father of railways, maybe remember Richard Trevithick: as the father of steam locomotives.

#OnThisDay 6th October 1829: the Rainhill Trials began! Organised by the Liverpool & Manc Rly (who’d planned to run cable-hauled trains) to test locomotives, 10 machines were entered, 5 competed: 4 were a bit shit, so Rocket won. Here’s me & @AntCoulls doing an selfie with Rocket

#OTD 2nd August 1870 - London’s Tower Subway, a tiny one-carriage cable-hauled railway beneath the Thames - opens to the public. It was effectively the first “tube” railway. The tunnel now carries cables, but last yr I went hunting & found southern entrance site, off Tooley St.

My pics of London's extraordinary vaulted Crystal Palace Subway (built 1854 by LB&SCR to join two now-demolished buildings: its station & vast Victorian tourist attraction). Today I learn from @ianvisits that @cpsubway restoration plans have been approved! https://t.co/MAzrQCDsZz

Those interested in the history of London's tube network may enjoy "The Truth Stops Here" @thetruthmusical a new musical play about a woman's fight for the truth about the covered-up 1943 Bethnal Green disaster. Esher, Surrey, 6-8th January. Tickets: https://t.co/SOIFOY0hB2

The winter sun setting over Margate’s Tidal Bathing Pool (exactly 1yr ago tonight) after filming the episode of #TheArchitectureTheRailwaysBuilt history documentary that’s on tonight! Join us at 8pm on @YesterdayTweets to see the story of Margate, Ramsgate & their railways

There are a lot of fans of @gailbrodholt's linocuts on twitter so I thought you'd like to know about these new mono versions of some of her remarkable commuter-life works. These & more on display at @EamesFineArt on Bermondsey St SE1 for the next week https://t.co/Od2nn9QL9M

If you visit #BatterseaPowerStationStation, may I urge a short stroll to see LBSCR’s Battersea Park Station gem of 1867 too? Pevsner calls it “Lush Italianate”. Its lofty ticket hall by C.H.Driver is an *incredible* survivor. Note too, original ironwork and the wooden Platform 1.

@muswell_boy @katieteresachan @ruthiehelen3 eurrrghhh do not try to do this

VERY impressed with the attention to detail of @TalyllynRailway #AwdryExtravaganza already this morning - we’ve even got a cow on the line, just like in the 1954 book! (Tho this time the engines are Sir Handel & Peter Sam, not Henry)
