Today’s live text updates

Here’s today’s summary https://peertube.netzbegruenung.de/w/pvzEJsH16niN8dMhRiNRLj Lots learned today, so a detailed and long summary.

This is wildly exaggerating

Sure, clearing up the Temple Mills issue is useful

But the biggest hurdle of all remains: FINANCE

Who’s going to buy these new trains?

Oh and the piece mentions Lyon and Marseille. Both next to impossible

Ashford. The nicest terminal for trains I’ve seen. Just… no trains.

Ashford is amazing as a terminal. So much nicer than a bunch of other terminals!

Now on South East Javelin number three towards Ashford. No idea about the data as I’ve changed these plans too many times!

Ebbsfleet International. Not international.

Now at Stratford International

It’s not going to be super easy to use this station

This was this morning’s intro, posted rather late! https://peertube.netzbegruenung.de/w/shwLRAndJ7gvrujHjSuZTG
