Interesting. I went on a speed awareness course once because I was driving at 78mph on the motorway. I accept I broke the limit, but really wanted to ask why this was considered dangerous when 130kph limits are considered safe in France. apple.news/AaI6sSfepSYW...

Why London is so congested – and what TfL can do about it — Harrow Online
London will continue to be Europe’s most congested city unless policymakers build substantial new rail links and discourage next-day delivery culture, experts have suggested.

Peckham Rye station is indeed in need of a upgrade. But perhaps Southwark Council could fund it if it stops wasting taxpayer money widening pavements that are already wide and permanently closing roads that are already LTNs.

The RMT ought to be careful. If they say that a salary that is around twice the UK average is not enough, I’m sure that TfL will eventually consider driverless trains as an alternative.

Interesting. I really hope that ANC is improved. My AirPods Pro 2 can’t seem to block out the noise of idiots watching TikTok videos without headphones on public transport.

The TfL Go app is a waste of time. Spent an hour waiting for a bus that should arrive every 10 mins, but the app kept on telling me one was on the way 🤬
I share the frustrations of everyone whose journey has been disrupted by the strikes today.
My message remains clear: I urge the RMT to get around the table with TfL so this dispute can be resolved.
Please continue to check the TfL Go App before you travel.

Somehow I don’t think that signs on the tube about using headphones are going to be that effective…

Saw a flock of swans in the Baltic Sea today! Never seen freshwater fowl in the sea before, does anyone know if this is unusual?

Really enjoyed the show this week, particularly the story about the absence of road deaths in Helsinki. As you say, it’s amazing what can be achieved if people work together and listen, regardless of whether they are pedestrian, cyclist or motorist. #TFL could learn something!

Not sure how many #gamers are on BlueSky. In not much of one myself, but was thinking about returning to World of Warcraft after about 18 years away!
1) Is it still good?
2) Does it work on Mac, or is PC better?
3) Should I bother trying to reactivate my old account?
Many thanks! #WoW #Warcraft

Is it me, or are the police just more interested in crimes when they actually happen instead of preventing them from happening? Surely greater police presence would act as a better deterrent?

Epstein revelations threaten to derail Trump’s trip to Scotland
Donald Trump has said Hamas “did not want to make a deal” on a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza.
Speaking to reporters at the White House earlier, the president’s comments echoed those of his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, who said yesterday the Trump team had pulled its negotiators for consultations following Hamas’s latest proposal. Continue reading...
