Passenger Action

I'm generally posting first over here these days, though I'll admit the whole Twitter Trajectory has rather taken the shine off the socials of any flavour. bsky.app/profile/passen…

What you got around the back ?? 1980 vintage ( non driving) Motor 49006 from APT- Prototype , Of the six built - two remaining. Normally found in pairs ⚡️ In centre of train formation ( with 6 passengers cars either side , under restoration @CreweHC 🦅

@Alph4betSoup @UK_Daniel_Card @sherlock_comms I think way back there was a similar vehicle that did the rounds with BBC Bs and an SJ Research server, networking before the internet. It's definitely worth a try.

@UK_Daniel_Card @sherlock_comms I tinker with the concept of a refurbed old coach kitted out with computers that goes and parks up in different locations on week nights as a mobile sort of hang out/education point for curious youths. Could be good for future talent pipeline development to appeal to CSR funds

In fairness to the man, when you ask the children what the issue is, they say there's nothing to do and youth clubs would help. It's also been the dominant narrative for a very long time. All the way back to when hoodies were a thing. I think it should actually be tested by an independent body tho. What does a modern youth club even look like to be engaging vs the internet?

@neuschi @rpimagazine Which DMX library are you using?

@rpimagazine Used it for controlling LED Strips in a DMX-powered kids theater setting.

Happy Tuesday folks! Hope you enjoyed the long weekend Working on any Raspberry Pi or Pico projects? We'd love to see a photo - it may end up in the mag! #MakerMonday

@markbarber0618 @ukrailadventure And a week or so ago I spotted it when I was passing through at Eastleigh

@ukrailadventure As seen at Woodbridge last Monday morning! Highlight of the day.

OH LOOK! He exclaimed as we were boarding. We have a lovely 12 coach intercity train to ride home, but I just know that given the choice, Austin would rather ride this 1 coach class 153 instead 😆 these days, this unit is employed to monitor the track rather than carry passengers

@Gordon_3417 @LynnTheTrim That's a pleasing amount of hammers

Today’s Minioning has most involved Buckie & Potter upgrading the shed lighting, JD cataloguing the hand tools and @LynnTheTrim hard at work on three projects at once! Busy Minions!

@UK_Daniel_Card Currently use the IKEA and INNR, both Zigbee. They both have a few quirks (pun intended) but are solid in both operation and as Zigbee relays. IKEA are moving over to Matter though, which makes them less useful to me having invested in Zigbee.

tweeps, who make the best Smart Plugs?

@KGemfeldt @ukrailadventure @waso_maru Only restriction is it has a lower top speed if operating No2 (blunt) end first as it has no streamlining.

@KGemfeldt @ukrailadventure @waso_maru It's not just for shunting. The original design requirements for the Class 91 was that it could function as a full locomotive and do things like haul freight and parcels traffic too overnight. So it's a full driving cab, just "blunt" to fit against the coaching stock.

My friends who run the pristine & extensive 2ft gauge Richmond Light Railway in Kent are having two public open days this year, as charity fundraisers. There are now fewer than 100 tickets left so do book this weekend for August or September. Link in comments below. Cheers!

@UK_Daniel_Card And that's not terrible but not great. What would you say instead?

@passengeraction On device and in cloud 🌧️ is what most people would take from 2 places 🤣 Most people don’t do what you have said.

I wonder how many security guides tell people to ensure they have their data backed up to a cloud service like google drive...

@UK_Daniel_Card My simpler advice is 2 places. Or "1 place bad" Depending on audience.

@passengeraction tell a person to also have a DR and BCRS plan and test it yearly with a formal report with improvement plan as well whilst you at it! LOL

@Alph4betSoup @ProtonVPN We've used iPhones in our household since close to launch and never needed to. Storage has always been local as we need more than cloud can economically provide and the apps we use aren't paid for via the apps store, usually free to enable access to a paid web service.

@ProtonVPN How did 35 million people not have to never pay for any extra cloud storage or apps, or in app purchases before now? I need to know.

35 million UK iPhone users now have to provide a credit card or ID just to use their phone normally. The recent update mentioned new emojis & updates to Apple Music, only for users to be confronted with an Age Verification screen. Apple said UK law requires this. It doesn't.

The last two have left The Park. But one remains, and it needs your help. gofundme.com/f/preserving-4…

How train wheels pass a turnout frog 🛤️ That gap is intentional: it lets the wheel flange pass, while the wheel tread transfers across the crossing and the check rail keeps the wheelset aligned. Small detail, critical function. ⚙️ Video: @localtrainbd #railway #turnout #switch #crossover #trackwork

@rincew1nd I mean they're not even trying at this point. I guess it's not SWT at Waterloo, that perennial BBC favourite

The class 158, well known for it's reliance on overhead electrification.

Let's make x fun again. Let's call it twitter and showcase #smallbiz and no ai !! Who wants to join in !! #mhhsbd

@Gordon_3417 There are three roads in that shed, so what's next on Potter and Co's wish list... 🤔

But the SETG have secured 5871 for preservation, so the Class 455 isn’t quite finished yet! If you’ve been following our unit, your support is going to be vital to making sure that 5871 makes a return to service. gofundme.com/f/preserving-4…

That's us all set up for ally pally! Ive been telling everyone we're stand 76 but they've moved us to right by the entrance on stand 26!! Come say hi this weekend! We're raising money to help restore @The_GVT !! 😁

@AntCoulls Now that's a timepiece 👍
