Some good news (for the North):
Keir Starmer has committed £415m of 'new money' to the ongoing electricfcation & improvement of inter-city rail services around the North...
But, as if he admits, this is a £10bn project & so today's announcement is more of a small continuity payment than a massive shift in speed of completion of a project already running a decade late... but at least Rachel Reeves has not actually cut it back (yet).

A pair of VR Class Sr1's in front of the "Santa Claus Express" at Helsinki Central, Finland
I usually drive newer electric classes (Sr2 and Sr3) and I prefer those over these. But variety is good I guess.
The second engine is no. 3111 which is in fact built in Finland from a spare chassis and spate parts. The class itself is from Soviet Union, with some western components.
