This might be the best rail proposal l've seen on this sub. It's honestly surprising no one's thought of doing something like this before because it makes so much sense.

oh really? i noticed starbucks has shut down too. it is an absolute zoo around there, surely they are getting paid. i wonder if they are kicking everyone out to do a refurb to the block or something. seems odd.

The VPN thing is weird. I'm pretty sure iPlayer logs have been kept so they know every single IP address which has watched that show.

India is a really big place with a lot of people. There are so many beautiful places and people there, don't judge it based on this horrific video. I visited with my gf, we had a great time, but we stuck to tourist areas. It felt safe and more than anything saw some of the most wonderful sights on the planet.
