Oh, the sad irony! Mile for mile, the Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) is likely to be more expensive than HS2. The latest LTC current cost estimate is at least £11 billion for 14.3 miles of ‘smart’ motorway and tunnel. #rail #roads

Lower Thames Crossing repeats HS2 mistakes and costs more per mile
Transport Action Network (TAN) has warned that the government is set to repeat the mistakes of HS2 with the Lower Thames Crossing ‘smart’ motorway (LTC). This comes as Sir Stephen Lovegrove’s report on HS2 is published today and highlights the dangers of starting work prematurely on such projects wi

It's important to lower the lid before flushing the toilet.
It's also important to wait till the lid actually falls down.
Alternatively, it's important to have spare trousers on you.
Don't ask.

An interesting #bridge in #Leszno.

If the world wasn't so full of greedy, idiotic, assholes we could have ultra high speed zero-emission electric trains connecting North America and Asia and we wouldn't need to pollute the skies or the seas.

We probably burn more fuel in a day with all the air traffic in the world than it would take to build the entire railway from Prince George or Edmonton through Fairbanks, across the Bering Sea/Land Bridge and on to Yakutsk, Moscow, and Beijing.
It's such a shame, you know?

There are people criticizing the plans to bring passenger trains to #Poznań's cargo bypass line.
Well, I for one definitely want to ride a train through this bridge. According to the internets: 2 km long, 10–15 metres above the ground.
Also, I definitely don't want to walk the walkway there. Never.

I have another fun project idea that I'm not going to realize.
What I'd love to have is a heat map of "how soon can I get there". One where I select my train station, and get a map of all train stations I can reach within N hours, each marked with the earliest arrival time and colored by how late I'll get there. Including all the reasonable transfers.
Say, the first train from here goes to Konin, so I get its arrival times marked on all stations towards Konin. Then, I can transfer to a few trains in Poznań, so I get their arrival times on their respective stations. And then all the transfers there, and so on.
So what I'd get is a pretty colorful map, with arrival time getting later with distance, except for major stations where IC trains get earlier than suburban trains, and then backwards from major stations where I can get via IC and then change into suburban going back. It would be such a cool experiment!
And honestly, I could start playing with it even with a partially automated tool: one that lets me select a given train and updated the map if it arrived somewhere earlier than I had before.

Hmm, I wonder how you're supposed to keep that distance when the roofing columns are less than 3 metres apart.
It's on the railway station in #Leszno.

I realize local road travel, especially taxi, is always more expensive (time and money) than long distance rail travel, but this #atrocity in and around #Bengaluru #India: 😒
Train, long distance: 386kms, 4.5 hrs, ₹1980 for two.
Taxi, home to station: 30kms, 1.5 hrs, ₹1100 for two.
