simply terminate them at Dundee and avoid all the salty sea spray up the east coast

possibly even fewer seats than current HST set-up because you have the driving gubbins in at least one end but not sure

they are only getting the 5 car units apparently

I should say most of my day-to-day miles are by bike or bus (or running!) 😊

genuinely approaching Ship of Theseus/Trigger's Broom levels of absurdity now

UPDATE: reunited and saved from the scrapyard, thanks to a friendly welder 💙🥹

Finally found an excuse to ride the X40 (the bus that goes on the bypass). 45mph in a double decker!

Did you see the Aurora displays this week? If so we'd love to see your photos! Thanks to Karl Thurlow for sharing these images with us, taken in Aviemore on Tuesday.

Did you know BGS monitor geomagnetic activity and have an alert service? please visit:

I learnt a lot

gave in and booted windows to watch a documentary about hockey 😶‍🌫️

Now TV will only play in a browser if you are using Windows or Mac?! This is Linux erasure!!

Aurora borealis over Aviemore

🚨 Aurora alert! 🚨

A geomagnetic storm is expected over the next 48 hours due to the expected arrival of a coronal mass ejection that left the Sun on 18th January.

The fast (~1400 km/s) CME that launched yesterday is forecast to arrive sometime Tues. Probably during the day in the UK, so not great for aurora. But there's a fast solar wind stream near Earth, and the precise location/timing of that could really change the CME propagation.
