@AdamFerron seems very patchy - the ones round me (Chiltern) seem pretty good. My worst train experiences for a while have all been with Deutsche Bahn who should tear up their timetable. Flights just as bad - as well as climate killing. I take the bus/coach during train strikes

Spectacular flooding in the Jordanian desert with @KitesinContext

Sadly, lots of rain also meant flooding in camp and a quick move to higher ground!
