I still think they missed a trick not calling it Battersea Power Station Station...

 

[teuchter]

I would go for Battersea Battersea Power Station Station or maybe Battersea Power Station Station Battersea, to be consistent with the other Battersea stations.

Clapham Junction is more Battersea than Clapham

 

[Puddy_Tat]

or Battersea Power Station ^2 ?

At 3pm I knocked back the last of my lager in The Doric, it is now 1820 and am opening a bottle of red in Godalming. Flying’s brilliant!

Indeed. Exact same excuse as Boris.

Indeed, although the pressing issue for me was to ensure my kids could be back in time for bed as they had school/college the next day, whilst Bozo doesn't seem to even know which people are his kids.

You'd be confused to learn tuch that the two flights we took generated less CO2 per passenger than going by train.

The driver thinks she runs the show, but If I'm not there the train don't go.

I've sat in that seat many a time.

I've sat in that seat many a time.

Me too, but it is this was only the second time since lockdown restrictions were lifted and last time I felt obliged to give up my place to excited small children and their parents.

Having read an announcement somewhere, a couple of weeks ago, that these restrictions had been lifted, it was disappointing to board a DLR train to find the no access banner for those seats still up. We ignored it and sat there anyway.

Looks up Whimple....Exeter
Looks like the platforms are expecting ice or snow

Just got off the Train at Hackney Central (just out of view)

Yeah we had our first proper frost yesterday.

I've never actually been to Whimple but the name never fails to amuse me when I pass through it.

This is actually from this morning.

I haven't seen this dove for some weeks so was very happy to see it this morning. He/she can often be found pecking outside Foxtons in Greenwich, which is in my walk from Cutty Dark Station to work, but today we met a few metres farther along the road. Next time we meet, I shall buy a pastry from Gregg's for us to share.

"According to the Campaign for Better Transport, an organisation that strives for all communities to have access to high quality, sustainable transportation, one person’s carbon footprint for a flight between Glasgow and London amounts to approximately 137kg of CO2. But when travelling by train, per capita emissions are nearly seven times lower at around 20kg of CO2."

Good job I wasn't flying from Glasgow then.

I assume he's on about this

Airline launches first flight using 'sustainable aviation fuel'

BRITISH Airways has operated its first flight using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

It's nonsense that it has a lower carbon footprint than going by electric train though. And even if the fuel is created using renewable energy, it uses up massive amounts of energy that could be used for something else. Like electric cars it doesn't solve any fundamental problems, just makes something slightly less bad.

Waiting for a GWR to Swansea at Bristol Parkway. Started from Leeds, via Chesterfield, Derby, Birmingham New Street and Cheltenham Spa. Trainsplit ticket to save me what doesn’t feel like a lot right now and a total nightmare of a journey so far. All trains late and overcrowded. First serious train journey since the beginning of the End Times and it’s fucking shite. Can’t even eat or drink on any of the trains cos it’s so crowded it feels wrong to do so, yet still they’re pushing a catering service that only a few people can get to. UK trains are so shite and their seat booking system a completely dishonest scam. What’s the point of booking a seat if you can’t sit down?

If you've got a booked seat why can't you sit down?
