Here’s my offer to retailers:

I’ll pay for the bike racks in front of your store. In return, I’ll receive €1/$1 from you for every customer with a bike as a return on my investment in your store.

Shenanigans at York...

My train 180105 deposited me off at York and I saw a Northern Class 150269, another Transformer in disguise 180101 and Northern Class 195103 with a service to Blackpool North.

Part three of the Alps Run! 🇨🇭

Leaving Disentis behind, we rolled east toward Chur. Towering peaks, snowy valleys, and those winding alpine tracks made this stretch unforgettable. 🌨️

It might be wet and miserable, but time to spend a couple of days saying farewell to HSTs on the Western Region, now reportedly just two weeks away from retirement! After these workings cease, Scotland will be the last remaining stomping ground for the near-50 year old trains.

Here's @garethdennis.uk making a case which I've made for years (even when I lived in Inverness and travelled south regularly): dualling the A9 Perth to Inverness is the wrong solution (estimated cost- £3.8bn). Better to dual & electrify the Highland Main Line £4.5bn)

Leg two of the Alps Run! 🇨🇭

After exploring Andermatt, we headed up to Disentis. Snow-covered hills and a stop at Oberalppass made for an incredible winter scene. 🌨️

My #CrossBorderRail trip from Brugge 🇧🇪 to Nuits-sous-Ravières 🇫🇷has gone very badly, and will leave me €59.94 out of pocket

So Alberto Mazzola of CER is getting an open letter and an invoice for €59.94 from me

Here's the letter 👇 […]

And this TGV is a TERGV as far as Arras. So there are loads of people standing in the bar (that’s closed anyway)

And we’re doing 300km/h

Precisely what SNCF lobbyists in Brussels say cannot be done

Just this isn’t *officially* allowed between Arras and Paris
