⚠️ Tuesday, 27 Oct @ 07:45.
As we mentioned yesterday, with more heavy rain and strong winds forecast today, we've put in place speed restrictions on sections of some routes, slowing trains down to help keep everyone safe during the worst of the weather.
🚶 Do you use our station escalators?
Here are three tips for using them safely, particularly when travelling with kids.
🟢 Hold tight
🟢 Stay away from the sides
🟢 Big step off
👀 Always supervise children on the escalators.

ALT Illustration of two children riding an escalator with safety tips. The steps are: 1. Hold tight—hold the handrail. 2. Stand away from the sides—keep feet from the sides to avoid getting caught. 3. Big step off—be ready to take a big step off the escalator. "Always supervise children on the escalator" is written at the bottom. Network Rail logo is at the top.
