I'm not going to be moving away from Twitter but I am now on Mastodon as well.

A few people from here are in the Fediverse as well - it would be good to see who else is.

Yesterday I finally had the #clockworkPi #uConsole delivered so this is the video of me building it.

It's got a #raspberryPi CM4 as it's core & 4G mobile connectivity.

Departure boards are now back.

It looked like something upstream had failed as I was receiving traffic from Network Rail but not from National Rail Enquiries/RDG.

However the NRE feeds started receiving traffic again around 0740 BST

There's an issue with my departureboards where nothing seems to be updating, looks like I'm not receiving anything from upstream.

I'm investigating the issue.

The author's even put the code up to GitHub

@Mick0las It is different but could have some meaning to the signaller - perhaps that section of track has had a report made so it's there so they can move trains over to another line until it's fixed?

My Autotrack software captures the moment that Starship lost control. Excitement was very much guaranteed. Great first attempt by the SpaceX team!

I wonder if insurance will cover this

e.g. for Maidstone East you can run:

@Dee_Cab1 Good for you for going round. Without knowing details there could be other things going on there.
