Also, if people need to scan a QR code for instructions on how to buy tickets to Underground stations, maybe your system is just shit

Interior of a C2C class 357 train. Floor is a speckled pattern, colourways are green, purple, and turquoise/cyan. The toilet door is wrapped in a photograph of a pier/wooden structure on a beach. The seats look faded and scuffed. There is dirt on grating by the floor, which is itself stained.

Everything about this train interior is so gross

Now, the right-wing press report with glee that Starmer is apparently ruining the special relationship over Iran.

Trump already ruined it.

Last month Trump said this about NATO troops, despite 457 UK soldiers dying in Afghanistan:

"We've never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them.

"They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan... and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."

Do not understand how Travelodge thinks commenting that the correct procedures were followed is at all resassuring to anyone else considering staying in one of their hotels.

That sounds hilarious. But, really, Tib Street would be so amazing pedestrianised along with the rest of the NQ to make a real sense of place. I hope cycling can be planned and prioritised accordingly, rather than shoved in like it is on Thomas Street.

I do hope they put proper cycle paths on Oldham Street rather than attempting to put cyclists on Tib Street though - would much rather see that fully pedestrianised instead.

Even if this lane was badly designed, it's sad to see Tory and Labour leaders so gleeful over cycle infrastructure removal - maybe improve it rather than just remove it? I guess that's too difficult for politicians who want a quick win.

Timed restrictions are already a thing in UK traffic restrictions so it's not like this is some groundbreaking proposal from me

I don't really get why, like many European cities, they can't just allow off-peak cycling here? Who cares if I ride my bike here at 10pm* or 5am* if there's barely anyone walking?

*Actual off peak times TBD
