Back in June 2025, I was one of the sponsors of @jeremycorbyn’s Bill for an Inquiry into the UK’s role in Israel’s war on Gaza.
This petition, if it reaches 100,000 signatures, can lead to a debate in Parliament on the need for such an Inquiry.

Meanwhile HS2 from the suburbs of London to Birmingham will only open in 2036, and will only reach Central London in 2043… 🙃
There has to be some irony here in two former EMR power cars, which the 222s replaced, doing this move… 😅

Trabajadores reclaman a RENFE que rompa su contrato con una empresa de seguridad israelí lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/ga…
Funnily enough Renfe were the first ever Velaro customers and now they’re fittingly Europe’s first Velaro Novo customers. Looking forward to these entering service!
💜 Renfe da un nuevo paso en la renovación de su flota de Alta Velocidad.

….not in Spain! The power car of the AVE on fire on Monday has been cut up on site today! Line speed tomorrow?!
Makes sense, EMR can now better offer the CrossCountry experience on the entire MML 😂

Added the 701 and @yawwie’s stalker to my GBR photo list last night - still can’t help but think it would be a far better livery if they at least added a bit of variation to the intermediate cars… 🥴
Reminds me a lot of the short-lived “flowing silk” livery planned for both the East and West Coast routes, the black is rather fitting! Still no idea how they believe 12x 7 car trains will be enough for the planned services though 🤷♂️
