@JamesBSumner Not to mention that, even though Ashburys isn't really a place, it has a direct rail connection to Kinder Scout (Edale station)

The nearby presence of Ashburys Railway Station may also have something to do with it. It used to be said that the USSR was the only nation on earth with no geographical referent in its name (such that it could have been the whole world); Ashburys is the UK rail equivalent.

TODAY'S DELIBERATE EXCURSION INTO TOTAL IRRELEVANCE: In "The Manchester Rambler" (youtube.com/watch?v=YENYMw…), the title character gives his origins vaguely as "Manchester way". Where's he actually from? My answer: somewhere in this general area, probably Bradford. Reasoning:

i agree with this

We do have an alternative option of 05:52 which goes directly into Milan Centrale, which arrives 08:12. Which means we don't have to hustle when we get to Milan, and should give us around 2hrs to the Tirano train?

I was thinking of just booking Venice Mestre to Milan Porta Garibaldi, arriving 08:47. I think approx 30 mins walk to Milan Central (allowing for mobility difficulties). Likely to allow enough time for transfer to the Tirano train, when they become available to book?

@seatsixtyone do you happen to know how wildly the Bernina Express timetable changes each year? Booking won't open for our journey until mid-December, but we want to sort out our other trains (Venice-Tirano) to make sure we don't miss out on those.

@EurostarUK Done

@katie_astrophe Morning.  At this point, can you direct message us please that we might reply at length.  Thank you.  twitter.com/messages/compo…

@EurostarUK hi, when will it be possible to book tickets for beyond Feb 8th? Your website says trains are usually bookable 6-8 months in advance, which is April 2nd 2025, but there's currently no tickets for beyond Feb 8th…

@EurostarUK We are booked on the European Sleeper from Brussels on 14/02 already, so we really need to travel on that day. From the same day that you opened ticket sales/reservations on that day, 1st class has been unavailable. I don't believe you sold out of 1st seats that quickly?!

@EurostarUK I'm aware that I could use RailEurope and pay to change/upgrade later, but that would cost me an unnecessary €30, it would be better if you could just tell me if/when you will release SP passholder seats.

@EurostarUK @Interrail Are you able to give me an answer to this please? I find it difficult to believe that the first class pass holder seats sold within hours of you making seats available to purchase? We chose @Interrail first class passes in order to sit in premier on your train…!

@EurostarUK I see that they are now available, but standard class only? We have first class @Interrail passes, do you no longer accept these?

I’ve brewed a beer with Courier Brewing Co. It’s a regular bitter called ‘Thrash Unreal’, and will be launching on Monday Sept 23rd @cityarmsmcr. 50p from every pint sold will go to @MedicalAidPal 🇵🇸 Come down and have a booze.

@seanayling @totalcurtis @Torrside @katiematherkm Glad it ain't just me that's not made it yet!

@totalcurtis @Torrside @katiematherkm One day I'll get there. To a smokefest, obviously.

@Matt_Pinner 56+30 = 86-1 = 85

How do you calculate 56+29 in your head without a calculator? Indulge me please, I am trying to check something

@BeeNetwork According to your website, Sunday frequency is 15 minutes, but stations with multiple lines get a more frequent service. I had to wait at Crumpsall (with more than one line) for 14 minutes. Unless there were two trams 1 minute apart just before I got there, something went wrong…

@katie_astrophe Hi, a Bury tram will arrive at Piccadilly in approx 7 minutes and a Piccadilly service will arrive at Bury in approx 11 minutes.

Taking the tram today? Due to essential works, no trams will run on the Altrincham Line between Piccadilly and Altrincham. Replacement buses will operate every 15 minutes in both directions. For first and last bus times: beenetwork.com/tram-improveme…

@petersgate_tap @Owler_Nook Really? I used to go out of my way to come and visit you. Probably more importantly to you, my dad did too. He'd be avoiding you if he knew you had this take, and I probably will now, too.

@Owler_Nook We shouldn’t be giving cyclists one inch of space. Because they never use it - come at me!!

In February, this journalist went to fetch food for his desperately hungry pregnant wife and 3-year-old son. When he returned, they'd been killed by Israeli bombing. Now his other son has been killed, his body run over by tanks. Motasem keeps on reporting. Don't look away.
