Congrats to my old mate Sherryl for this coming out — I wrote a chapter for it about Bucky Fuller geodesic domes and how the hippy counterculture took them up in the architecture of Drop City onwards.

Two wonderful shortlists have landed in the campus bookshop for 2024 - we’ve got the jitters for the @jhalakprize !

@LNER @MeedusAli @DavidHorne @networkrail We saw a bus at Grantham in over an hour. Back onto the train now. Fingers are crossed.

@MeedusAli @DavidHorne @networkrail We have rail replacement operating over the affected area between Grantham and Peterborough. If you must travel, you will still be able to complete your journey.

Here’s why the East Coast main line is closed today between Peterborough and Grantham and our advice to @LNER customers is do not travel. The @networkrail overhead line teams are working on all four lines repairing the damage caused by last night’s incident. We expect this to take several more hours due to the extent of the damage. Service disruption is expected to continue until the end of today. If you have a ticket for travel today, you can use it to travel on 11 or 12 December. No need to cancel or rebook. Or you can get a refund from where you bought your ticket. More advice: lner.co.uk/travel-informa…. Sorry once again for the disruption this is causing. Thanks to 📷 @RiggerMortiss for the photos.
