Anyone else like abandoned stuff? Here's a disused rail line I visited last August (for the third time, I should add.)

Some snaps from a walk along a disused rail line, August 2025. It's a short branch line that had a station at the end and several small halts along the way, plus a few cool road bridges. #urbex #abandoned #rail

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

random thought....
remembering that time I was at a trade-conference and I walked by a CP Rail booth, looked at a couple of their brochures and then turned to a lady behind the table and said.
"my preference would be that the government run the railways”
and then walked away.
The look on her face. lol

So I'm reading the changelog for the Polish railways' Passenger's Portal app (i.e. checking what they broke), and it turns out that the developers discovered compression.
I mean, the app's been updating "dictionaries" practically every single day for years (surely available stations change frequently), and they weren't even compressed! What's next? Discovering Last-Modified and refetching only if something actually changes?!

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 wonder how many teenage lives could be saved (along with hundreds if not thousands of dollars in travel costs) if Alberta and Canada had a functioning bus/rail intercity public transport system.
But let's not do that... it might upset some car company lobbyist. Best to put 17 year-olds on icy Alberta highways at night after hockey practice.
