I should have written ‘Engine Shed’ Brewery, a relatively new venture with beers named after famous steam engines, e.g. ‘Black Five’.

All looking good.
Nigel Farage MP V @Nigel_Farage X.com I had the misfortune of watching and listening to Nadine Dorries this morning. If she is the PM's defence then he really is a goner.

Also anyone leading with the idea of London - Berlin direct trains can’t be taken seriously. If there are to be UK-Germany trains it’ll be to Köln and Frankfurt, as journey times to those are ok and - within reason - there’s terminal space.

Berlin is too far, too remote, also has station headaches.

The call for next year's @businesshistoryc.bsky.social annual meeting is up (the deadline is Oct 17th). The theme is Co-creation. Is there anyone who might be interesting in developing a panel on the Co-creation of business histories with collaborators from outside both academia & the corporation.

Good grief - looks like Network Rail* has been deliberately deceiving people into submitting comments on a planning portal in support of its Liverpool St plans. Totally unacceptable for a public body. www.victoriansociety.org.uk/national-new...
