Turns out net zero is cheaper than a single fossil fuel crisis. 🀷

The sooner we build on clean, home-grown energy, the sooner we stop handing the keys to foreign gas markets. But we also need market reform now - so customers, not just corporations, actually reap the benefits of renewables.

I have heard your criticism that Arthur is American (and an aardvark???) so instead for the Β£50 I propose

My humble submission to the new Bank of England with concepts for the new bank notes to please both sides.

Im one of the rare ones that disagrees. I guess it's because I picked them up late. Absolution is probably top for me, possibly cos it was my first taste of Muse outside of the couple of singles released mainstream. It's tough, I think I'd actually put OoS 3rd myself. 😳

See, I have to be in the right mood to want a coffee. Had one yesterday morning, my first of 2026 πŸ˜‚

Tea is all very subjective I guess isn't it! Are you more of a coffee drinker or no hot drinks at all?

No, I didn't understand (how anyone would deem it acceptable) either. After I'd introduced the teabag to the milky water and encouraged it for a while, it looked a little better. Certainly resembled tea in the end, but still too weak, and I tend prefer my bought cups of tea to not require assembly πŸ˜‰

Hello? Is that the British Transport Police? I wish to report something that doesn't look right - hell, as a Brit, it's pretty much a hate crime. 🀒😩 #SeeItSayItSorted

Well then. I quite like our #Eurovision entry (Look Mum, No Computer) for 2026. Chap seems very quirky and interesting (and clever!) when you look into his YouTube channel too. #EinZweiDrei

Interesting to read the editorial on this programme and understand that the current regime's attitude toward fans is based on at least 63 years of similar passive aggressive comments... #Salop #Shrewsbury

Glasgow Central Fire Sparks Travel Chaos Across the UK A major fire beside Glasgow Central has shut Scotland’s busiest station, triggering nationwide disruption and raising urgent questions over UK rail resilience.

Awful news about Glasgow Central, I'm still hoping the station itself escaped serious damage.
But while we're here, can anyone spot the problem with the news photo below, from thetraveler.org/glasgow-cent...?
We've really got to STOP using AI to fake things.

09.03.2026 08:28 πŸ‘ 564 πŸ” 146 πŸ’¬ 52 πŸ“Œ 61

Wowsers! Literally someone made this photo up with AI. There's enough dramatic footage from last night going around that this was necessary (nor was necessary for any other reason to be honest). 🀬

We do route conduct quite regularly (just did a Yorkshire diversion with a TM this morning to avoid infrastructure failures) but I can't recall the last time we did one at the request of another TOC

They won't sign the traction, but they could feasibly route conduct, yeah.

EC as in east coast? Can't account for LNER, but XC Edinburgh Drivers only sign the route to GLC via Motherwell or via Shotts. No route knowledge to GLQ (or historic route clearance for 220/221 traction there to my knowledge).

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

Whilst interrailing is great, a summer spent on the PS2 is largely accepted to be more enjoyable than a summer spent in France, tbf...

Oh heck. I helped a friend with his Saturn V build when it first came out, lot of fun it was!

It's not gone. One of the surrounding buildings has been ravaged and sadly collapsed with businesses affected, which is awful, but thanks to the brave men and women of the Glasgow FRS the station stands, but obviously is closed currently. Damage assessments of the station will start at first light.

It doesn't look far off it now, since this was snapped, that dome has collapsed too 😩

Can confirm it's definitely not sorted.
