Just popping up here for the first time in 10 months as a reminder that I’m not here any more, and here is why:

My new, equivalent, home is listed at the bottom of the article.

@PickGS Well, in return, I will commit to doing a specific piece on the blog (I’m gonna avoid a deadline!) going into the detail of the ten points as laid out in the newspaper article

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

@PickGS To be fair, I’ve not covered family travel on the blog. But it’s quite a good idea so thank you!

By the way, I dropped back into Twitter as I wanted to clarify this point but I’m now mainly at BlueSky if anyone wants to join me: https://t.co/UvSWDyGcGw

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

@PickGS @stevepearce8 @Captain_Deltic No worries at all! I totally understand. I just wanted to explain that I wrote a piece to a specific brief. I don’t want to imply I was unhappy with the brief - I was very happy writing it, but it was intended for a general newspaper audience. My blog, by contrast, is for us!

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

@PickGS @stevepearce8 @Captain_Deltic Would love to keep chatting, if you would like to, on BlueSky https://t.co/UvSWDyGKw4

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

@PickGS @stevepearce8 @Captain_Deltic I do detailed long form analysis on my own blog. None of which is about families and none of which is a wish list. But this was a specific article on a specific topic for a national newspaper. You can see my blog here, if you wish: https://t.co/LJypGuDzZ1

A reminder I’m not here any more, only here: https://t.co/UvSWDyGcGw

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

I’ve picked up quite a few new followers today.

Which is nice of you!

But you’re following me in the wrong place.

I’m now here:

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

@vegasbaby2012 @SimonCalder Oh, alright then, I’ll firm it up: that is absolutely not what I said!

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

@SimonCalder Now look what you’ve done, you’ve lured be back to Twitter!

Here’s why I’m not generally here right now.

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

@SimonCalder If I remember rightly, I said it is very confusing that all three stations are run separately by three management teams and that it would be a good thing if the three management teams would get into a pub together and agree a single wayfinding scheme for the entire complex

My first Freewheeling Blog post since I paused for three years to join Transport for London.

During that time, I quit Twitter.

Last week, I pushed out the first new episode of my podcast for three years. Previously I'd have Tweeted something like this. But I haven't, because I've quit Twitter.

Here's why - and why I want you to as well.

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

@christianwolmar Done. I will shortly be on the same mission!

[Thomas Ableman @thomasableman]

@christianwolmar @elonmusk I agree. It’s incredibly difficult. The network effect makes it an almost impregnable monopoly. It’s of commercial value to all of us. But every tweet is donating content to a company now openly associated with a proto-fascist.
