Stuttgart - Paris in 3hr 15min? Oh go on then…

@ivodelingpole It’s to get most people in the habit of boarding at least 2mins from departure. If everyone turned up on the platform & tried to board with a minute to go, there would be no chance of departing on time.

If you’re running late, chances are you can still board up to 30secs before.

@soccerreform He also thinks the World Cup should be held every 2 years so FIFA gets even more $.

Coach B on @Scotrail’s #InterCity7 (HST) trains has an old toilet that’s used as storage compartment and is clearly off-limits to the public. Here are some of the amusing reasons the railway gives for why you shouldn’t attempt to enter…

@dimenpsyonal As well as its proximity to Tottenham Court Road, the Elizabeth Line has other connections to the Central Line. As for the Piccadilly Line, most of the big destinations it serves (eg. Kings Cross, Finsbury Park) are available via the Victoria Line.

@_Anna_Macdonald Now try making the same journey on a Friday afternoon, Sunday or just before/after a big holiday weekend…

Starlink solves your WiFi problem. Ensuring everyone gets a seat who wants to travel is a bit harder!

You can’t beat a #Yorkshire welcome. Thanks @Hilton!

A brilliant weekend celebrating 50 years of tea, bacon sandwiches, conversations and other everyday activities all being done at 125mph in Britain thanks to the @125Group & their preserved #InterCity125 High Speed Train (HST).

@the_transit_guy I once had a very pleasant Sunday morning walk from Poitiers Airport in France to the railway station…

New @RideRTD slogan: “Take the train to avoid the melt down on the roads.”

(Driver was uninjured, car less so.)

A selection of @RideRTD’s improved digital signage at #DenverUnionStation which features a larger font & colored symbols for the lines. General information messages such as “zero fare for youth” are on static panels. Still some tweaks, but generally a step in the right direction.

@humantransit Please, please teach RTD this. None of their policies or procedures currently consider how a bus or rail line interacts with the rest of the network. Everything is assessed in a silo.

Non-car transportation, Miami style…

@ColonySco Aren’t devolved powers great? 😆

[Richard Bamber @RBamber]

I see the staff cuts, mandated as RTD seeks to cover a $200M+ budget shortfall, have already started to affect the graphic design department…

@hiamsoares @fentanylbrownie This is Mainz 05’s stadium in Germany. Parking lot is for VIPs, media & disabled only. Everyone else walks down a wide path to catch buses which run every 2 mins on gameday. Providing parking is a choice, not a necessity.
