Local government where I live has a policy of blocking "unreasonably persistent people", which they have used to ignore legitimate concerns from voters in the past.

I visited a French village this summer and the train line had similar daytime engineering works but a rail replacement bus. I thought that was normal for SNCF even if no overnight works seems crazy to me. Why doesn't that line get a bus? npub1u5emwvnh20mu93vyjd9g09g00pxmjutl50ek0p2f9nmgery6dm8q6df0ep MJ Ray It's not just where you are that is suffering identikit estates from the big builders: only 10% of new homes were delivered by small/medium enterprises recently.

It'd be better to show us the name and thumbnail and tell us the date so we can find it with the remote. npub1u5emwvnh20mu93vyjd9g09g00pxmjutl50ek0p2f9nmgery6dm8q6df0ep MJ Ray @nprofile…4mfy it's worse than that. 'Choose and book' doesn't even work for outpatient care now. When our local hospital (the worst in this ranking) was far too overloaded to see me that year, I tried to get referred to others. All rejected the referral in some way. Even one London hospital 100 miles away that I was willing to travel to, to try to stop the pain, and had telephoned to confirm they had capacity, rejected the booking with a message saying that I should be treated nearer home. npub1u5emwvnh20mu93vyjd9g09g00pxmjutl50ek0p2f9nmgery6dm8q6df0ep MJ Ray As #Google Faces Review in UK Over Market Power, Independent #News Demands Fair Deal https://dispatch.the-citizens.com/as-google-faces-review-in-uk-over-market-power-independent-news-demands-fair-deal/ #monopoly #citizensunited npub1u5emwvnh20mu93vyjd9g09g00pxmjutl50ek0p2f9nmgery6dm8q6df0ep MJ Ray @nprofile…c5n8 I hope you had a nice bike ride instead of a long sit! npub1u5emwvnh20mu93vyjd9g09g00pxmjutl50ek0p2f9nmgery6dm8q6df0ep MJ Ray @nprofile…c5n8 also in internet services npub1u5emwvnh20mu93vyjd9g09g00pxmjutl50ek0p2f9nmgery6dm8q6df0ep MJ Ray @nprofile…c5n8 #Gemini have been in the UK press this week promoting a Stratford-Ebbsfleet-Europe competitor to #Eurostar again. Difficult to see how they can finish/reverse/start at #Stratford without major track works, running empty into #StPancras and back out, or resignalling the Camden Road ramp to enable HS1-only stock on it.

Now we see that NHS staff fatigue combines with a lack of public transport to kill them, and others, on the roads. Not running useful transport at all hospital shift changes is very cruel. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/apr/24/nhs-staff-fatigue-poses-significant-threat-to-patient-safety-watchdog-warns #publictransport #publictransit #transport #roadsafety #RoadDanger npub1u5emwvnh20mu93vyjd9g09g00pxmjutl50ek0p2f9nmgery6dm8q6df0ep MJ Ray Well that came sooner than I expected.

If I follow "Tussen Eijsden en Aachen Hbf. check je in bij Arriva..." then "Losse kaartjes" "Treinkaartje kopen" "Hoe betaal ik een treinreis?" and it tells me to tap in/out with my payment card and paper tickets cost €1 more! npub1u5emwvnh20mu93vyjd9g09g00pxmjutl50ek0p2f9nmgery6dm8q6df0ep MJ Ray @npub12fj…jwl7 does it still run?
