Hey all! A lot of the talk regarding this years December Timetable Change has been regarding the ECML and LNER, but Avanti's new service which calls at Liverpool South Parkway (for the first time), has been slightly overlooked! I made a video on it which you can watch now! youtu.be/1qnd8qflCmg

Our #Lexember word for today is "khi", which means "to cast a spell" and comes from Sarkezhe, our #conlang for cats. The cats are perhaps the most magical of the animals in Sovála, so it's a fitting word to come from their language!

300 million?! That's an absolute number 😳
In the last 7 days, 300 million people have flown from UK airports. Today let's imagine a future where we put all our human creativity and intelligence to use in service of life and the natural world 🌎

Krótki rozdźel miedźi miedźizapadosloviańskim a miedźisloviańskim:

MZS: V polščinie a češčinie majou smiešne slova miedźi sobou a milujemy svojich bratróv

MS: V polskom i češskom imajut směšne slova medžu soboju i ljubimo svojih bratov.

People overwhelmingly want to do the right thing. People want safe futures and clean air. It's politics and profit that always gets in the way.

We can't leave it up to someone else to fix the state our planet is in.

I really want the Mark 6 carriages be introduced in the UK including the vectron locomotives, would be better than the Hitachi sets. Locomotive-hauled sets (with driving trailer) provide more benefits!

After 30 years of failed privatisation, the government's new legislation is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get the railway this country deserves. But public ownership is just the starting point.

Another railway related incident, what’s going on? Also Shap is not that far from Grayrigg where a derailment took place back in 2007..

Thankfully there were no injuries or casualties.. and the train remained upright thanks to the design of the Class 390.

Sometimes when you're constructing a language you work out a couple pet peeves.

(Screenshot is from my PhD dissertation, which includes language learning lessons on the #conlang Tybewana after each chapter of the associated novel.)

Conlangs and railway are my two favourite things, I can say something related to both of them in the conlangs I know.
