Making the red lights turn green...
There was a follow-up report apparently - The Development of the Major Railway Trunk Routes. it didn't get progressed far.

And of course, lest we forget the Serpell report...

I went to NRW for a few days between Christmas and New Year. Every train I was on was late, other than the S11 from Düsseldorf Airport to Düsseldorf Hbf.

2. By all means offer someone the option to fly earlier, but it does help if you send them the email with that offer in good time for them to get to the airport… not two minutes after the earlier flight leaves.

We had one module (can’t remember which one) where I’d never done the module before and I just went straight for the test and passed.

Most of this stuff isn’t difficult and shouldn’t be difficult, but they make it out to be such a big deal.

Oh no. This was the level of question after you’d sat the four hour, in-person, course.

(And before you got to go out the back and actually play with fire extinguishers.)

In another industry we joked that one of the questions in the fire safety module was:
You discover a fire. Do you:
A. Operate the fire alarm
B. Fetch a fire extinguisher
C. Do nothing
D. Phone your mum.

I was never a fan of Chucklevision but I will happily admit that the brothers were masters of their craft.

Some random named Figel Narage wasn’t it?

I’ve just googled him. He has some very strange beliefs.

Unfortunately I don’t think any of them would be grounds for a referral to Prevent.

Maybe if that’s how 40-year-olds looked and dressed 50 years ago!

Reminds me a bit of the Roman soldiers casting lots for Jesus’ clothes while he was being crucified.

Controversial now as I hate most football but I preferred it when Råsunda was still open rather than Westfield and Friends Arena (or whatever they call it now).

Unusually smart for Solna.

I hope that PostNord’s parcel services will get better now that they are concentrating on them.

Nice photo of Vesterport station though.

I had to read this twice and was confused why ICE weren’t using Tesla… after all Mu*k apparently doesn’t like non-white people.

And then I realised you mean Internal Combustion Engine.
