    Ahead of World Mental Health Day (10 October 2023), LNER and Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) have marked five years of their partnership by unveiling a newly named train 'You Belong' which will travel the length of the country, raising awareness of the vital support CALM provides. For one day only, a ‘News Against Living Miserably’ news stand was opened in Newcastle Central Station to lift the nation with positive news, sharing inspiring stories and compliments in a bid to bring smiles to people's faces.
