A brief update that you can now find me at theorangeone.insanity.tube on the same cloud place
okay so four things:
1) a reminder that if you are a person on the app where the sky is blue go follow me at theorangeone.bsky.social
2) on Saturday I will be attempting to do a UK transport thing I'd be surprised if any of you have done before so stay tuned
okay so you can come find me here as I have been for a year and a half-ish :)

I'm sorry TfL, did you try and *sneak this one past me*?
The 205 links Paddington with Euston, Kings Cross and Liverpool Street - very handy for connections between London terminals - and they want to withdraw it at the Paddington end?
What?

well it's been a while since I last tweeted but I do have a hot take
I genuinely really like Euston station. Honestly - not kidding - and not even in a contrarian way - I just actually enjoy using it.
This last season of Doctor Who:
E2: The End of the World
E3: The Unquiet Dead / (Boom Town?)
E4: Alien in London / World War III
E5: The Empty Child
E6: The Doctor Dances
E7: Bad Woolf
E8: The Parting of the Ways
broke: Doctor / Amy / Rory / River Song family reunion
woke: Maestro / Toymaker / Sutekh / Trickster / Sky Smith / Sarah Jane / Luke Smith / Mrs Wormwood family reunion
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the count of East Asian characters in the RTD2 era of Doctor Who remains at zero
Skipping Flux and Legend of the Sea Devils, is the last time we had one the Monk Trilogy?
hmm.
ALT Trade Offer meme I receive: interstellar travel You receive: Concorde person is Freddie Mercury
oh lmao this is being dug up
(I am lowkey a fan of using "Overground" to refer to the NLL/Mildmay because that's what people who use it already call it, but also I like Mildmay too)
Controversial London Overground line naming opinions:
Windrush is nice. I like it, it's a good call, and I think after a while it'll stick quite nicely. Think it might be my favourite.
I also quite like Liberty and Mildmay.
okay I know a lot of the non transport people aren't reading my content but this needs to be shared
this is an initial pilot to remove off peak/super off peak flexible ticketing; if it succeeds then if you need to buy a flexible ticket you will be forced to pay full peak fare
This quoted post is unavailable.
LNER will say that people generally travel using Advance fares, but not everyone wants to travel at fixed times booked well in advance; additionally Advance fares have a quota and if that runs out you can be blocked from travelling entirely unless you pay the full peak fare
everyone is so angry with this but y'all need to accept that Manchester Piccadilly is in Wales, London Euston is in the Midlands, Finsbury Park is in the North, Penzance is in Scotland, Greenford is in the West and Birkenhead North is in the East now
Anyone looking for a new definition of the north and the south? Then I have one for you...
Find your nearest railway station, as the crow flies. Look at the companies that serve it. Then follow the following steps in order to work out where you live:
Step 5: if you're still uncategorised, is your station served by ScotRail? Or is it served by a company with Cross in the name? If so, you are in Scotland (given the cross nature of many Scots).
