This is why I do, what I do, when I do it! The time is 00.40 and out of the darkness at Melton emerges @ColasRailUK 37175. A chat with the driver, who checks the chap I was with last time isn't waiting at the crossing, then thunders away. You can't beat that! 612 on back.

Hmm. I'm not sure that this is a @Se_Railway train eh @SteveWhiteRail? Guess because it's an article on the railway, any train will do, but a Shinkansen?

He's not begging, he's not harassing anyone, he's not playing the bagpipes! He's achieving the impossible and and getting London tube passengers to interact with each other. Good for him! 👏👏👏
BREAKING NEWS! Serious Disorder breaks out on the London Underground Northern Line this afternoon👇🤷‍♂️😂

He was damn right!
From 1913 to 1942, Arthur Gehrke of Watertown, Wisconsin went to bed in November and didn't get up until the next April. He claimed that ‘if more folks went to bed all winter, there wouldn't be so much trouble and confusion in the world’.

The Tories back up to 24%. Jesus. The British public is like a dog that's been kicked by the same bloke for fourteen years, yet still runs to the door when it hears his car. And Labour, sort yourselves out.
Our latest Westminster voting intention poll (1-2 November 2026) shows a close race between the largest parties Labour: 26% (-1 from 25-26 Oct) Conservative: 24% (+2) Reform UK: 21% (+1) Lib Dem: 11% (=) Green: 10% (=) Restore Britain: 3% (-1) SNP: 3% (+1) Plaid Cymru: 2% (+1)

There really are some low IQs on here. How many staff were with him, how many 1st class rail tickets, not to mention cost of security staff, security sweeps of the train, and police escorts at both ends. Plus, the flightpath from Stansted to St John's goes close to Manchester!
Andy just blew another £20,000 on the private jet to fly from London to Manchester today to collect him. Andy does the big things but only for Andy and Andy's mates. Andy's view on his VIP jet is also "8od the climate". #Labour #bbcpm

I have my winter flu jab booked in 27 days. I have a feeling that will be about 35 days late. Currently shaking and rattling and overheating like a poorly maintained 16yo E200🥶🧑‍🍳🥵

Patrick was one of those icons who we somehow all took for granted would always be with us. I grew up as a fan, and was later gifted the privilege of becoming a colleague and friend, working with him for many years on “American Dad!”, “Family Guy”, and “Ted”. He was that rare actor who could take any bit of dialogue and elevate it, making a good writer sound great, and a great writer sound masterful. He was also as humble as they come. I remember exchanging emails with him a number of years ago when he was beginning day 1 of a new film. He commented to me that he always walked onto a new set feeling like the biggest novice there. My stunned reaction was the same as anyone’s would be. I said, “Patrick, if you feel that way, the rest of us are screwed.” We have lost a legendary actor today, and for many of us, a good friend. He will be deeply missed by the entire planet.

Que no me vengan con que ha sido un error humano. En el siglo XXI un tren no choca con nada. No puede. Para eso existen el ERTMS, el ASFA, los enclavamientos y los circuitos de vía: para que, cuando el humano se equivoque, la máquina frene sola. Esa es su única función. Si un AVE con 397 pasajeros ha podido alcanzar a un tren parado, es porque esa capa de protección no estaba. Averiada, desconectada o en modo degradado, da igual. No estaba. Y un sistema de seguridad que depende de que un operario no se equivoque no es un sistema de seguridad. Es una lotería con horario. El error humano no es la causa. Es el síntoma. La causa es que alguien decidió que se podía circular a 300 km/h con el sistema principal caído y una persona como único respaldo. En mi sector, cuando falla el principal, entra el secundario. Cuando falla el secundario, entra el terciario. Cuando no hay terciario, no se sale. Se llama redundancia y no es un lujo. Es lo que separa un incidente de un funeral. Echarle la culpa al maquinista es lo más barato. Y lo más cobarde. El que diseñó un sistema donde un humano puede matar a 500 personas, ese es el responsable.

I'm sure the folk choosing between eating and heating this winter will be comforted to know their MP has his finger on the pulse of the real issues. Dear God.......
