@AndyBurnhamGM You do like to use populist techniques to get your message across, perhaps, sadly, that's needed to fight a shameless populist like Farage.

@thomasforth In response Brunet's blue banana, my old profs Kunzmann and Wegener proposed in the early 1990s the European Grape as an alternative regional development paradigm: https://t.co/1QMHKKhf2A

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

@xvrmdf @thomasforth But that was its original purpose. Roger Brunet illustrated in the late 1980s the passive insularity of French cities including Paris, to argue for European regional economic integration.

Happy belated 100th birthday to David Attenborough - worth watching this documentary again where he met the Icelandic musician Björk. https://t.co/jikhq2Kds0

@Unusual_Times @WilliamShatner Just get a Two together rail card, it's often worth it just for two longer trips.

@J_hanwell @SimonCalder @SLRRHODES @HamiltonNashHR In Cologne there are often long waits for non-EU arrivals, but that's more due to only one or two border check boots for non-EU nationals being staffed. But that's nothing to do with the new system, not yet introduced in Cologne.

@sbmcnamara @the_transit_guy Those Stellplatzsatzungen in Germany often make it difficult/impossible to develop car-free settlements.

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

@sbmcnamara @the_transit_guy The legal requirements to provide parking space, including some onstreet are regulated in Heppenheim's Satzung über Stellplätze und Garagen. But for the historic core there are exceptions https://t.co/c7GkZ97lOn

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

Maybe @shockproofbeats should've read @seatsixtyone Interrail 3 day France is €165, kids under 12 free, then adults + kids 4-11 need €35 Eurostar seat resevations, plus reservations for French trains. And unlike on budget flights, this includes bags!

@GarethDennis At least in Istanbul they are not calling their freight and extra large bendy buses a tram - and they also have actual trams :-)

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

@SCP_Hughes The exception to that are perhaps informal developments in South America, e.g. Brazil's favelas. They are perhaps more similar in density to China's urban villages, which are "kind of" informal.

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

@SCP_Hughes Informal urbanisation through self-built housing is easier with 1-2 storeys. And that form is more common in aub-saharan Africa. High rise requires more expertise and engineering knowledge, and formal housing. Informal housing in e.g. India is again more low rise.

NEW RESEARCH: new car bonnets are trending higher every year and drivers of high fronted cars unable to see children as old as nine 😱🚙🚸❗

#Carspreading is out of control.

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

@kitchentowel @another07047584 @SimonCalder Yes, I guess so. But the age of the ultra cheap tickets on budget airlines is mostly gone, unless you are very flexible & travel only with a very small bag. Particularly when travelling with children/luggage to the near continent, train is often similar in price to flying.

@40PercentGerman That map confirms to me that German food is predominantly brown/beige/yellow with a sprinkle of green :-)

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

@kitchentowel @another07047584 @SimonCalder It's worth remembering there once were plans for a regional Eurostar. But as it became increasingly unlikely UK would ever join Schengen, and then later brexited, those plans were quietly abandoned over the years. Plus part-cancelling of HS2 did not help. https://t.co/92vBVZhXFi

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

@SimonCalder Manchester to Brussels/Paris would be great, even as a night train beyond that - the original idea of the Regional Eurostar. But without full HS2 and not being in EU/Schengen, that won't happen anytime soon.

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

@the_transit_guy Is this what Frank Lloyd Wright wanted to achieve with his broadacre city dreams?

[Andreas SchulzeBäing @baeing]

@trudgeon666 @40PercentGerman Perhaps - but surely many Germans won't understand "Da war ich dann doch ziemlich gobsmacked!"?
