Today was one of the rare occasions when I bought gas (petrol) for my plugin hybrid car. I went to the local Shell station to use its car wash as a great deal of salt is being put on the road recently and I wanted to protect the car, if I could.
When I got home I checked out the Shell webpage and found this item
First, they need to decouple the route from the existing network, or risk it daily becoming a *glacially slow* high-speed train. Then, set rolling stock design parameters that don’t, say, require paring back multiple existing station platforms. And then, somehow manage not to fuck up the rolling stock tender process.
We’ve been dancing this dance for decades. I can guess what’s on that shovel.

I'm at Union station in DC and I just watched some rando bike right through the open door into the station on a bike share bike and just keep biking through the station.

Then 20mins later I watched two cops (uscp, capitol police) on bikes bike through the door into the station and do the same thing. So I guess it's just a thing that people do here?
