@myles_premium_ Say it with me. H 👏 S 👏 2👏 is 👏 about 👏 releasing 👏 capacity 👏 not 👏 journey 👏 times.👏

Believing otherwise at this point demonstrates wilful ignorance.

@BlondiieMama @evri @JohnLewisRetail Last year my friend went to return a vacuum. After 6 days it still hadn’t been collected and on day 7 it was collected and somewhere between the front door and the van became “Lost in transit”

Why shorter HS2 trains might actually carry more passengers

It sounds counterintuitive, but proposals to move away from 400m trains could unlock greater flexibility - and potentially increase overall capacity a…

@Stillwel9 @Ogilvie_CJ @JacobFL1 There is the link line that goes to Camden Road station which they could use to reverse the trains (maybe)

[Ed @Oddward]

@J_A_M_E_S_BEDF @JacobFL1 @Ogilvie_CJ Maybe. The current platforms are about 300m long. But then you’d need to rejuvenate the building’s interior for the border and international passenger facilities. There may be some level of this planned already since Gemini plan to run terminating services to here.

[Ed @Oddward]

@Ogilvie_CJ @JacobFL1 There are no crossovers serving the international platforms so the train will have to continue on to somewhere or wait for an approx 15km gap to head back the “wrong way” to the Wennington Crossover

[Ed @Oddward]

@Ogilvie_CJ @JacobFL1 Looking at the maps I would imagine they will run empty trains towards St. Pancras but not into St. Pancras. Reversing the train outside the tunnels then back into Stratford for the service to the continent.

@SouthEastRailGp This wouldn't surprise me at all, I saw a TL train on Sunday that was incredibly grubby. The lower potion of the vehicle was clearly unwashed for some time. And the gradual fade upwards made it even more obvious.

Whatever the results are later I think we can all agree Ed Davey had the best time.

A perfect excuse to rewatch the train chase from The Wrong Trousers.

Legitimately one of the best film chases ever.

@sigirides @Pedestrian100 There is more to it than this though. 240 character can only go so far.

[Ed @Oddward]

@sigirides @Pedestrian100 IMO I think a lot of this comes down to poor infrastructure design. Either minimal boundary between pedestrian areas and cycle spaces, so it is easy to move from one to the other without much awareness. Or, at junctions, long wait time for pedestrians, so they walk on red.

Possibly the fantastic graffiti on the tube.
