[Tyne and Wear Metro @My_Metro]

We bid farewell to our old fleet

The fleet’s last official week of service will be the week commencing Monday 22 June, with an old train operating on the Yellow and Green Metro lines from 9.30am to 5.30pm all week, up until the early evening of Friday 26 June.

[Looking for Growth @lfg_uk]

The UK can have this.

We don't have to be crammed on buses from 2008.

People say "we can't". Ignore them, we can.

We should, and will, have nice things.

🇫🇷 Le CDG Express reliera directement Paris Gare de l’Est à l’aéroport Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle en 20 minutes dès le 28 mars 2027, avec un train toutes les 15 minutes.

💰 Le billet plein tarif coûtera 25 € l’aller simple et 42 € l’aller-retour, tandis que les abonnés Navigo bénéficieront d’un tarif réduit à 16,50 €.

👨‍👩‍👧 Les enfants de moins de 16 ans voyageront gratuitement accompagnés d’un adulte, rendant l’offre attractive pour les familles.

⭐ Ce service premium, plus cher que le RER B, vise surtout les touristes internationaux et les voyageurs pressés grâce à son confort, sa fiabilité et ses espaces bagages optimisés.

🚄 Avec un coût de projet de 2,6 milliards d’euros, le CDG Express devrait désengorger le RER B et réduire le trafic routier vers l’aéroport.

Great video by CityEd explaining why he likes our magnificent city of Newcastle so much.
Who can blame him.

Can't stare at this any more. I do have some gripes with the definition of a city, and only found out when I saved that I must have misspelled Valletta thus missing out a single country, but overall pretty pleased.

WHY IS "GBR" AND "Great British Railways" WRITTEN ON IT AT ALL, LET ALONE TWICE AND IN DIFFERENT WAYS?!

Oh well, it begins.
