I’ve seen this scar on the landscape - it’s disgusting, along with the £100Bn price, for no tangible benefits. #HS2

If only there were a modern alternative to GSM-R. Our @networkrail train system is outdated in so many ways. Maybe #nationalisation will fix it 🤣 #rail #satcom

Border Guards sing a Ukrainian carol Shchedryk (known as Carol of the Bells in the English-speaking world) at Sophia square in Kyiv.
The singer, Oleksii, used to be a music teacher, now he defends Ukraine. His wife Mariia played the guitar.

Great news on #HS2 - throwback to this post from 3 years ago. But still no plans to develop improved signalling to increase rail capacity? 🚂 🇬🇧 🛑 – at Poplar, London
Will #HS2 be useful? Yes. Will it cost >£100B? Yes. Could we upgrade whole of GB rail infra for <10% of that by redesigning #signalling? Yes. So why not?

My first visit to @HarwellCampus in almost four years! Great to see so many companies in bigger offices. And nice landscaping! 🌳
The Chair @CommonsSITC also asked about measuring progress (previously “rowing back on targets” ie ditching the famous 10% sector target) and apparently new metrics are just weeks away #spaceUK 🇬🇧 🛰

That’s what I would say too #2023DZ2 – at Havant, England
A newly discovered #asteroid named 2023 DZ2 will safely pass by Earth on Saturday at 100K+ miles away. 🌎
While close approaches are a regular occurrence, one by an asteroid of this size (140-310 ft) happens only about once per decade, providing a unique opportunity for science.
