Here to post my public transport and cycling adventures. Some of it might not even be on trains. Trying to leave twitter by setting up this account. Used to be @maidstoneonbike over there, but I haven't lived there for ages so 🤷‍♂️

I'm sorry I'm a killjoy on this. Unfamiliar with rail travel? Tough. Have what little information we give you garbled.

Currently waiting for the once per week* train at Bordesley, the first stop southbound out of Birmingham Moor Street.

Stopping at all stations sometimes means trips out just to get the awkward ones

About half of Londoners don't have a car, myself included. Intrigued as to how this can provide me with faster and more reliable journeys
TfL has confirmed the opening date of the Silvertown Tunnel.

From 7 April 2025, the tunnel that connects Silvertown to the Greenwich Peninsula will provide Londoners with faster and more reliable journeys and enhanced public transport links.

If I had £1 for every time I had to take an alternative route to work in 2025 because the metropolitan line was suspended, I'd have £2.

Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it has happened twice.

While you were listening to Taylor Swift and Charli XCX, We were vibing to the Electric Hum of the InterCity 225.

Truly an underrated song. 🎧

It's hard to describe how wonderful it is to get this letter.
I hope all my friends in England will get the equivalent for the nation soon.

Preston is leading the way in urban regeneration, setting itself apart from other post-industrial towns in the north of England.

One last ride on the old Merseyrail trains (completely accidental but I'm not disappointed!)
