Tashkent's metro stations are something else. The country as a whole was much easier for independent travel than we thought (and seemingly easier than it was a few years ago, according to the internet). Ubiquitous ATMs, card payment, taxi apps, English fairly widely spoken.

The headline cancer waiting time performance measures in England have been altered. The first data was released today. The charts below show how the change affects performance on the 31-day and 62-day measures. 62-day performance is slightly higher on the new definition.
Two line charts showing time series performance on the old and new measures. The 31-day measure sees little change after the adjustment to the definition. The 62-day measure sees an improvement of a few percentage points.
