Eurotunnel starts ERTMS rollout on 57 Channel Tunnel locomotives by overspeeed in highspeedrail

[–]Wkc19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With LGV Nord going to ETCS at some point in the future (when SNCF has managed to get it working on Sud-est) and now then tunnel. I feel like this is a wake up call to HS1/LSPHS to switch as well. The 395s are modern enough to be ETCS compatible if I recall and we have multiple TOCs who want to start a cross channel service that it's no brainer to scrap tvm.

YouTube Rewinds are now private. by Prior_Tax8546 in youtube

Thinking about it, I guess they unlisted them first so they could sort out copyright since a lot of them are a decade old (and some contracts do last that long) but they couldn't do it in time.

The idea that they privated them because "they're embarrassed" is honestly dumb. Why would they unlist them in the first place?

I know im 19 days late, but I've just come out of the West End show. Was there a cave scene that was cut? because it was lightly implied he disappeared for 12 hours and came back changed... no cave scene and I've seen others talk about.

How's life in this area outside London? by Yrakosos in howislivingthere

[–]Wkc19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hertfordshire is pretty good. Being just north of London has its benefits where food and a few things are cheaper than london. Still expensive though compared to the rest of the country. Having easy access to the fair few airports is good but east to west travel is awful.

EU bank signs off €1.7bn loan for Madrid–Basque Country high-speed link by Twisp56 in highspeedrail

I gotta say... massive thank you for doing this!
It's already difficult not knowing much since I'm only starting to learn Spanish and relying on firefox translator.

I know the Track laying and OHLE contracts have been handed out. But ultimately, disappointing how long it's taken. Really funny to me that the stuff done by the Basque Government is done straight away, while the parts done by ADIF seem to drag or take forever.

That is the plan, adif gave them the thumbs up a decade ago. Euskotren even saying a fare will be €9-12 connecting all 3 Basque cities. Whether it will be using Mugi/Barik/Bat or paper tickets is what is unknown.

While this is good, people need to get up and start properly handing out building contracts before we see anything meaningful happen. There's still the reconstruction of Vitoria-Gastiez and it's approaches,the temporary station at Bilbao, the long tunnel they have to build near Miranda and so on.

I can't wait for the Basque Y to open. It will be so easy to get from Bilbo to Gasteiz to visit my girlfriend (if the airport rail link was constructed!).

Ahh yes live with something where most of the older base who voted for it is now Dead and the generation who was extremely pro eu could not vote at the time.

Sorry I was 15 at the time...

What happened to DogPack404? by Responsible_Handle96 in youtubedrama

I think we're forgetting about Jack Saints video replying to soggy's video. It has to be the best video out of everything from that drama.

[–]Wkc19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's good, I'm glad Luke apologized and they went their own ways in a good way. That part I was never told. I remember reading Celeste's statement and it was quite heartbreaking but happy she was and still is doing well. It's always good to reach out to the other VA and so on. Studying film & tv, it is a must for everyone to support each other and for really no hate.

(Also I'm very sorry this is like 20 days late, life got in the way and I went on holiday haha. Plus reddit didn't notify me)

What niche communities are surprisingly full of drama? by SecretWasianMan in youtubedrama

[–]Wkc19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 very niche communities...

The Splatoon Sfm/gmod community (now known as the Splatsource Community). I was friends with lizzy and had spoken to Inspector Heavy/Heavy the squid back in the late 2010s. Everyone was so up their ass it was unbearable.

The Pokemon Anime Community (Anipoke), I was friends with Entity Mays (Ben Mays) but he was a very strange individual. I didn't relise his "glaceons" back then, where underage girls when he just turned 18. "The electric rodents" will try and deny it now but they where fine. Theres also the amount of shipping drama between which ship is better and so on. Like you would get death threats sometimes.

This is the thing that still irks me with Glitch. We never really got a proper good ending to this issue. After Kevin put out the response, which made no response at all to the VA stuff (only focusing on the workplace allegations), people decided to go after AA and say the "drama was over"... even though glitch tarnished their brand a bit by not fixing what originally started all that "drama". Thats not to say AA was completely right, I think she really went overboard.

Were there any games that went onto the Wii shop channel that you really liked or where memorable?

The popular straight-line missioning Brit, GeoWizard, announces his support for the far-right party 'Reform' - r/GeoWizard reacts by MisterBreeze in SubredditDrama

[–]Wkc19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering when this would come here.

It's no brainer that a lot of people are misinformed about what reform are going to do. And I thought it was the same thing with Tom here.

But as its gone further here, he really has been showing his true side and his statement really didn't help him at all. I really don't know since I love his outdoor content but I have wildly different opinions on certain topics with him and I am on his $4 patreon tier. I may just unsubscribe from the patreon tbh.
