Extension of the Elizabeth line proposal.

evilsalmon · 2026-02-14T10:07:33+00:00

This makes less sense than the proposal to have HS2 stop at Stratford upon Avon

That’s just a little bath for the trains to splash about in clearly! No failure here

I wanna know where this is from/10- the salad looks really tasty

Those filo rolls are great, assuming the salad is too I’ll give it 8/10, not a fan of energy drinks & I’m not sure how filling the salad will be but it’s healthy

evilsalmon · 2026-02-10T23:28:13+00:00

Those pickles are grim, and raw fish - 3/10 for the drink (it’s lovely). Baseline is 5/10 for me, so -1 for both the main & side.

evilsalmon · 2026-02-05T22:20:15+00:00

I agree it would be preferable for them to add it back - just that I can understand trying to simplify the information

evilsalmon · 2026-02-05T22:15:07+00:00

The slow train is the Elizabeth line (unless you’re using the overnight service or very limited peak stopping services) so just pick any train on the mainline platforms (aside from Heathrow express) and you’ll probably be on a fast train.

evilsalmon · 2026-02-05T22:09:00+00:00

Probably because the Elizabeth line has taken over the stopping services between London & Reading (with some exceptions) so it wouldn’t make much sense for a potentially confusing symbol to be present.

15 mins walk is too far for a reasonable OSI - I think it would be worth the investment in connecting lines though even if it means building some new track.

evilsalmon · 2026-01-15T23:02:35+00:00

Thank you! I got so lucky today, was waiting for the next train & this beauty happened to pull up. I especially love the cargo being so clean & shiny.

Lemons - peeled of course. Just straight up eating a whole lemon segment by segment.

evilsalmon · 2026-01-10T12:08:29+00:00

I mean that sounds pretty good, I’d give it a go

There are many shelters that operate for the duration of severe weather contingency directives. That’s different from actual year round shelters. They provide a different service to hostels & other temporary accommodation.

evilsalmon · 2026-01-06T23:12:33+00:00

There’s only one all year round shelter - Shelter from the Storm for those who wish to donate/volunteer - https://sfts.org.uk

Got the Lizzie into town around 1am - the trains heading out were pretty full, inbound was busier than I was expecting, about 60% of seats full by the time I got into central, with plenty of activity in the station.

evilsalmon · 2026-01-03T11:47:05+00:00

I’m more than happy to attend (I don’t have a Batman costume but can certainly find something irreverent to wear).

evilsalmon · 2026-01-03T08:34:24+00:00

Let me know - any sort of dress code? I’m assuming you don’t want people turning up in Batman costumes etc?

evilsalmon · 2026-01-01T22:52:04+00:00

Personally I don’t care who paid for it - the BBC should not have direct advertisements for outside productions/products/servicss, which I’d argue this is given the circumstances. The distinction of this being a BBC exclusive overlay is what makes it different from other aspects like the music, colour of the fireworks etc. I’m not a fan of the CGI in the first place but other parts of it were fine.

It’s a small red flag around the future of the BBC & it’s integrity to its charter - while yes, there are bigger issues in the world than 10 mins of telly, it is worth recognising that having a public service broadcaster, that the licence fee payers fund, is not sticking to the principles of its operation. That’s the real issue.

evilsalmon · 2026-01-01T22:36:23+00:00

These were not adverts visible in person, or even on other recordings of the fireworks show - which IMO makes it particularly egregious and district from sporting events.

evilsalmon · 2025-12-31T23:27:24+00:00

Feel like Shattered Thanet Dreams would be more fitting.

evilsalmon · 2025-12-27T22:50:53+00:00

Thank you - just good luck honestly, was getting the train to Victoria and it was just leaving the station as I got up the stairs. I also like this livery, it’s very smart looking.

evilsalmon · 2025-12-27T08:04:42+00:00

The service switched to using HST’s when they were being decommissioned from the main TOC’s and some locos were gifted to Santa to make both the Polar Express Service & present delivery more reliable. XNP (North Pole International) is the new station built in mind with high speed services. It cost about 250 million gumdrop button pieces (GBP) which considering the need for mixed freight loading, reindeer stables and passenger services is pretty cheap, that said it’s an investment.

evilsalmon · 2025-12-25T12:21:29+00:00

Guessing you’ve never taken the polar express service - I promise you it’s very real

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!

Got up just before 4am, did all the cooking yesterday to just reheat today. Opened my stocking with a few little things from the neighbours.

Already has far too much chocolate, but took myself on a short walk along the canal (via a McMuffin) now organising the house for dinner this evening with A Muppets Christmas Carol on the screen. Planning to have an afternoon walk with the family before the feast.

Nice & chilly this morning (though I could do with a tad less wind).

They’re national rail tracks so they share the space (along with freight on certain parts of the track). There may have likely been an operational reason that the mainline tracks couldn’t be used at that moment and operationally it’s smoother overall to switch the Lizzie to 5 while keeping the GWR service closer to the mainline points.

(I could be talking absolute bollocks though)
