how can you present something like this to me and expect me to take it seriously and not laugh

🚨 This guy is making AI videos of The Chipettes flirting with him. The Chipettes are child-like cartoon characters, and this man is sexualizing them for his own content. He’s creating videos of these animated little girls acting flirtatious toward him and posting it on Instagram. This is creepy, predatory behavior disguised as “harmless” AI content. These predators keep finding new ways to sexualize child-like characters and we’re supposed to just scroll past it. Disgusting. Sources: Instagram

Middlesex was never swallowed up geographically.
Most of it has been administered as part of Greater London since 1965, while places such as Sunbury and Ashford are administered separately. But those are council arrangements: all remain within the County of Middlesex.
Whether somewhere “should” be in London is a separate question about modern administration - not about which county it is in.

Calling somewhere by its historic county is not nostalgia.
It is geographical accuracy.

@tubemapper It happens at Whitechapel. Not sure if there's anywhere to grab a photo.

Under Over Over
Despite its name, the London Underground isn't always underground. This was taken at West Hampstead, where Underground trains pass above the London Overground.
I've made it a mission to find every spot in London where this topsy-turvy railway quirk happens.

@RPMarks But for those who are blind or partially sighted, it's a total nightmare, until they can get machine that can interface and speak to customers and to listen and process the tickets, at the moment bear skins and flint at the moment with these.

On this day in 2002. Marylebone Station Master Donald Wilson shows off "Bill" and "Ben", two experimental ticket vending machines that were installed for trials. "Bill" on the left is an Ascom B8070 and "Ben" on the right is a Shere Fast Ticket. The latter won favour.

@MichaelDnes1 It took me 1h 30m to get from Crystal Palace to Stamford Hill, both Zone 3, both east London. It's embarrassing.

This is an amazing tool for exploring how spectacularly focused London transport is on journeys to the centre, and how much the rest of the city is far further away from its neighbours.

What does London's public transport map look like where you are? How do well-connected boroughs compare with their red-headed step-neighbours? And why do people in outer London own so many cars? Explore my interactive London Journey Times map to answer all these questions. 👇

@JoeBrownLondon It's interesting how the LNWR (and later LMS) decided to choose the same electrification system as the SR. I wonder if there were any plans to do something like a Harrow to Croydon service. (well that does exist now but the trains do not use the DC lines)
English
#OnThisDay 104 years ago the London & North Western Railway commenced DC electric services from Euston to Watford Junction with the opening of a third pair of tracks between Queens Park and Euston. Services were provided by Oerlikon units like this preserved at the NRM in York.

@CrecyRail Did you remember to add Brent Cross West? (and remove the line to North Woolwich)

For a long while I thought it was just me colouring in the Baker Atlas. Delighted to hear others are at it. I’m using the 9th edition, 2001. I’ve just recently had to add the line to Barking Riverside to it and a few others will follow if I’m ever to complete it.

@JoeBrownLondon @CrecyRail Sadly, my 1977 atlas was all coloured in, including the freight-only and a few mothballed lines (a benefit of working for BR). After that, I never did colour in any replacement atlas unless it was a new or reopened line.

@ShimazuSystems British steam trains are quaint, American ones are from hell
English
They look better at night when they're running hot, literally hell machines, if demons had a method of transport it would 100.00% be something like this
People paint steam trains as some quaint thing, but they are genuinely terrifying in scale of power

This train enthusiast traveled all the way to the United States to see Big Boy 4014, the largest steam locomotive in the world. Bro is standing in front of one of the most powerful machines ever built, casually explaining it in the most soothing voice
