Every time West Yorkshire wants public transport improvements, the government screws them over. Who remembers the Leeds Supertram? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_S...

I really need to do one of these on 2026. Thankfully forward thinking me ordered my 2025 DSB FIP coupons so I can get towards this part of Denmark for free and then pay for the routes I don’t get free travel on.
Voilà! 🥰
A photo of a "Lynette" in the sun (well, at least in faint sunlight) was definitely not on my list, when I left home on Monday.

I’m going the wrong way on the Elizabeth Line, as I think that’ll be the only way to get a seat. Wasn’t happening at Canary Wharf… Think something has happened as the frequency westbound is a mess 😬

The state of the modern internet is just gross... just to read a simple article on the mirror's website without even consenting to cookies... this is how many external domains (mostly third party trackers) the site tries to load.
Ugh.

Netflix pandering to MAGA and pushing content promoting hateful ideologies all while cancelling progressive and inclusive shows despite their massive popularity has pushed me over the edge.

Back in London again. Staying two nights makes more sense than 12hrs worth of commuting up and down the West Coast Mainline. And cheaper…
Anyway, first stop: the office.
Then Hither Green, back into Central London and out to Heathrow Airport.

This is Willi and Rigatoni. They were saying not-so-nice things behind your back, but then you turned around. Super awkward. 13/10 for both (IG: wildwildwilli)

Slovakia just rewrote its Constitution to restrict LGBTI+ rights and weaken its international obligations. Tell the EU to act now and defend equality.

Phone back to normal. Got a new SIM card as well which is not a bad thing. Took a few minutes to activate so I switched off the phone.
Phone on. First message: dad’s former next door neighbour lost his battle with Motor Neurone Disease. Burst into tears.

11 days until my first trip on a nightjet in a Mini Cabin. Haven't done an overnight train journey for quite a while - think it was Feb 22 when I went to Inverness. And frankly these trains cannot be any worse than the CAF carriages to the Highlands 😬
Habemus Mini Cabin! 🥳
Finally, the new Nightjet Stock has been deployed to the Zurich-Hamburg route. This calls for a little pre-Christmas trip!
