The excellent RTT (Real Time Trains) website now has an app! It shows how any British train performed up to 2 weeks ago, shows planned rolling stock for any given train, and shows the *planned* platform so you can be positioned ready, ahead of the scrum (includes Eurostar!)

The British Government is a complicated beast. Dozens of departments, hundreds of public bodies, more corporations than one can count...

Such is its complexity that there isn't an org chart for it.

Well, there wasn't...

Japan is famed for its flourishing urban life, with peerless infrastructure and vibrant urban density. The bewildering image below is Tokyo's rail map, the world's most extensive network, and one of the true wonders of the world.

But it was not always so. Japan entered the twentieth century with large but impoverished cities, whose infrastructure was exceptionally poor. Most of these were then destroyed by war.

Japan developed perhaps the best cities of the modern world in spite of some of the worst starting conditions. An important part of the explanation lies in a policy called ‘land readjustment’.

#OnThisDay 35 years ago City Thameslink opened. Fascinating image of the newly-opened station in its original 'St Paul's Thameslink' incarnation (its name changed after just 16 months on 30/09/1991), and before it was rafted over. Tom Burnham https://t.co/OyxAmxx58G
