Right folks, I’ve had enough of this curséd website and it’s megalomaniac pea brained owner. I’m migrating to hang over on the other app with the blue and white icon. Please do drop your @s below so I can find my fellow train nerds.

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? haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/30-205-bus-pro…

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.

Passengers between Oxford and London have a couple of minutes of their lives wasted while Oxford Tube coaches turn off the motorway to stop at a rural stop in the middle of nowhere to qualify for a fuel duty rebate. Tax distortion in action.

nobody: not a single soul: me: did u know that the oxford tube only stops at lewknor because they need to have a certain number of stops on their route to officially count as a bus instead of a coach in order to pay less tax

@DuncanStott but then it's 20 miles to IWM Duxford which is the next place it's easy to come off the M11 and that's not compliant with the local bus regulations? (Also, surely the other case for a Cambridge Tube is a reliable service in the face of strikes?)

@DuncanStott Surely the London terminus issue is less of a problem than the fact you can't really stay within the distances? Your London coach station is clearly Stratford City; your outer London tube station is Redbridge, then you'll want Hastingwood South Harlow and Stansted Airport (1/2)

But there's still the problem of how to be a useful coach service once in Cambridge. But there's still an opportunity - north Cambridge has the wrong-side-of-town-for-the-station problem as east Oxford.

@TheOrangeOne @Flutter_ish I believe before Legend of the Sea Devils and maybe Flux, the most recent episode with more than one East Asian actor in a speaking role was Aliens of London.

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?

If anyone wants a bleak look at Doctor Who casting have a look through the history of the modern show
