@AngellinaBrady @StagecoachCNL Surely if you go by bus to Windermere Station, you can then go by train to anywhere else in Great Britain with a train station?

All societal groups (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) are victims less often due to the global crime drop. But the drop wasn't equal across groups, so people who are not White, are disabled or who are in poverty are now more likely to be victims, **relative to the rest of society**. doi.org/10.1177/147737…

@O_TTravels @mark395625 Although in-effect they’re running two separate stations: Connect services every 30 minutes from Platform 1 (where boarding seems to very often be open reasonably early) and 4tph intercity from Platforms 2–4. It’s the intercity services where the problem seems to lie.

@mark395625 @LessCrime LNER are good at this, they have really long turnaround times usually so their services are almost always boarding 20 mins before. Bit tricky at London St Pancras though for EMR with 6tph and only 4 platforms

Spot the odd one out 🤔👀

@mark395625 @O_TTravels Sadly, EMR routinely do this at St Pancras. EMR have some great staff across their network, but the dateline staff at St Pancras seem to have this deep-seated need to keep passengers off the platforms for as long as possible.

@O_TTravels More concerning is the fact that the 1802.isnt showing a platform so close to departure

@DonWeatherburn @robertgraham I think she might have missed the joke there.

@robertgraham Let me get this straight. You wage war on Iran and Iran responds by trying to block the Strait of Hormuz, but it’s every other country’s job to clean up the mess you made.

We did our part, destroying 200% of Iran's military. It's now other country's job to make the Strait of Hormuz safe for shipping. They are the ones to blame for the closing of the straight, not us, after all, we destroyed 300% of Iran's military.

@RogerthePolice @BladeoftheS Section 1(2) of the 1997 act prohibits “any firearm which either has a barrel less than 30 centimetres in length or is less than 60 centimetres in length overall” with certain exceptions. So it was, and was intended to be, a de-facto ban on handguns.

@BladeoftheS The ban was not on handguns. It extended an existing ban on any weapon that can be fired repeatedly without the need to reload. Many handguns are still legal to purchase and own.

Nigel Farage said the ban on handguns brought in after Dunblane was “ludicrous” and should be lifted, arguing handguns ought to be legalised and licensed again. The man is deranged, he won't be happy until school shootings are happening in the UK again.

@Zachariahskylab @RyzardL @markyzaguirre @IterIntellectus You could also look just at the number of shootings in NYC, which went down from about 5,200 in 1993 to about 700 in 2035. And that’s despite the population having increased by about a million people over the same period.

an insane blackpill is watching old movies you don’t even have to go back in time that long. watch any movie of the early 2000 a completely different universe. places and cities you’d want to live in, not the shitholes they’ve become

@mmmmnmmnmn @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc Nice try, but that law only applies when a person trespasses on a railway (which there’s no suggestion the person was doing) *and* refuses to leave when required to by a member of staff (which there’s also no suggestion they did).

@LessCrime @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/3-4…

Nice one fellas, £80 uber to Luton airport because your man here fell asleep leaving 50 of us stranded outside the station in West Hampstead, I’ll take some solid compensation thanks @TLRailUK

@mmmmnmmnmn @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc What law do you think regards it as private?

@LessCrime @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc Ah fair. In law its still regarded as private but youre right about the public ownership.

@mmmmnmmnmn @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc The station is publicly owned. That isn’t actually the defining feature of whether or not a person can take a photo in a station, but nevertheless the station is publicly owned.

@LessCrime @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc ? Thats literally my whole entire point. Public space does not mean its not privately owned. What you and others aren't realising is that just because a private owner allows a space to be used for public, doesnt mean that you have the same rights as a publicly owned space

@mmmmnmmnmn @pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc Somewhere doesn’t have to be publicly owned for it to be a public place in law (although the station is in-fact publicly owned!). Plenty of privately owned property nevertheless falls within definitions of a public place. The exact details depend on the law in question.

@pouparts_junc @TLRailUK @bealolufc I wish people would learn what a fucking public space is before they start with the "oh you can record here" Is the station publicly owned you dickhead?

@Guard_Amos It may not have been what you intended, but your post reads (at least to me) as blaming passengers for having unreasonable expectations. Wouldn’t it have been better to focus on blaming government for not providing sufficient rolling stock?

Why do passengers think TOC's can click their fingers and get extra stock?

Fellow criminologists -- is there anyone teaching gen AI courses in CJ programs? Let me know and will send them a copy of the book. If no one is, feel free to get in touch. Happy to discuss doing a seminar/short course.

@NoelDolphin @owenoo Is it, for example, that EMR and Network Rail judge the paperwork needed to adjust the safe system of work outweighs the benefits? Or is there another reason?

@NoelDolphin @owenoo I understand it was meant to be temporary, but it’s now indefinite. Which is why I don’t understand the rationale for not automating the lowering of the pantograph to help manage the human factors you mentioned in your other reply.

The wasted wires are about the cost of running wires to Leicester

@NoelDolphin @owenoo What is the rationale for building operations around the driver manually lowering the pantograph rather than the norm being that it’s lowered automatically? I don’t understand the justification for the additional cognitive load on the driver.

@owenoo I think the zero balise is meant as a mitigation, I dont think they are meant to be using as the primary lower.

@ian_t_adams @Theory_Society I note that this is not in a criminology journal. Was that because you felt it wouldn’t get a reasonable hearing?

Ghost criminology wants us to listen to the voices of the dead. Are places haunted by crime? Does violence persist in place, disturbing later visitors? Or do some criminologists just like ghost stories? Now open access at @Theory_Society, I falsify ghost criminology and challenge criminologists on allowing for a spacious discipline without becoming a specious one. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@NigelGJ @YouGov No. The numbers represent the percentage of those saying they would vote for each party who gave each answer to the question. That does not mean each party’s voters were given equal weight. The survey will have included many more Reform voters than Green voters, for example.

@LessCrime @YouGov Exactly my point, it still heavily weights minority parties so therefore unrepresentative of national polling and actual views
