A historic moment. Britain’s age of coal-fired electricity is ending after more than 140 years of continuous production.
Electricity generated by coal transformed Britain and has shaped all of our lives. It was founded on an infrastructure of mines, rail and power stations.
In a landmark moment, GB Railfreight has made the final planned coal delivery by rail in the UK.
We delivered the shipment to @uniper_energy Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station, as it prepares for closure on 30 September. (1/4)

SUVs are deadly tanks and they are everywhere. The nursery in Liverpool is today's example of why cars need regulation for size, weight and speed, and safety testing needs to account for people the vehicle hits not just driver/passengers.
💔It’s a dark day for the UK
To all the men, women and children who came here in search of safety and are now terrified of what the future holds, we are so, so sorry. Please know that we are on your side.
