With so many MPs in one party, how do they sit in parliament? The commons isn't big enough for all the MPs to sit anyway, but certainly can't fit 400+ on one side...

@quixoticgeek they sit on the non-speaker end of the opposing benches too. There aren't 650 seats anyway. Even fewer of the Lords would fit in their chamber. It's a nonsense building, needs changes.

They have a handy map of where I’m going tomorrow 🙂

@t_aus_m @jon square tubing would scratch bikes easily, so people would soon learn to avoid them. You'd still need to check the sound isn't cut anyway. People ignore noisy thieves if they wear hi vis and gauntlets.

Absolute jaw drop

Go to SNCF Grandes Lignes ticket office and ask why SNCF Connect cannot sell me tickets to Berlin any more

“C’est la faute de Deutsche Bahn!” the employee tells me

This is a flat lie

Deutsche Bahn provides this data still. The fault is with SNCF’s IT. And employees here are blaming Deutsche Bahn

@jon @onterof defined date? Or an undefined one? It's not great if there's a known gap, but I'd expect SNCF to be leaving an indefinite gap in service

Definitely in the middle of nowhere. Phone signal sucks... And buses are once an hour...

@quixoticgeek but are there evening buses?

So, I built Siren's documentation portal, and the entire site is built using WordPress and the full-site editor. It's my first complete build using FSE, so I wrote up a reflection on it.

TL;DR It's REALLY gettin' good, y'all.

@alexstandiford I think the site theme needs a bit of work to be useful on low power devices. Screenshot attached

I’m lost

I’ve just crossed a capital city by train, 3 stops so far*.

Not once been told to mind the gap between the platform and the train.

Not once been warned to not leave behind my luggage.

Not once been warned to not open the doors before the train is at the platform.

Not once been told to label my luggage.

Not once been told to mind the closing doors.

And no one died (as far as I’m aware).

    • I’m now in Belgium having arrived from France earlier

@jon @quixoticgeek does an app really save you a few euro? What price access to your phone, its data, network and battery? Transport tickets really ought to use standard ticket wallet apps. Bet their blasted app is only on Google and Apple app stores, not independent ones, entrenching the tech overlord monopolies further. 😤

@samueljohnson @jon Saturday's electrostar had some intermittent contact problem on the speakers. At least once it went "this is the service to London (crackles, long long pause) Sorted!" Which was nice.

Brompton in touring mode. Heading to the start of Race Around The Netherlands to check bikes and interview riders for Dotwatcher.cc

@quixoticgeek is that space long enough for a regular bike? I don't remember how long a Brompton is.

Dominique Riquet is late in Valenciennes for

Is he stuck in traffic? 🤔

This is how he’d have to have arrived from Strasbourg by train. Not the best connections…

@jon all via Paris. SNCF is awful at region to region.

mjr,
@mjr@masto.bike avatar

@jon CdG is still pretty much Paris. I wonder why the northeastern border corridor has so little service. Another obvious looking route is via Luxembourg but argh

If we want people to refill reusable bottles, it needs to be easier than buying a bottle of drink. That means a) not needing a bloody app to find where you can get water 2) water taps/fountains in the well walked passages of the station so you can fill as you go past and don't have to detour. iii) not have to ask someone to fill your bottle for you.

@quixoticgeek I have added a few taps and dispensers to

@KFvMalssen @jon sadly my insurance requires me to lock to a fixed object, so I often park at one end of a space, to reach a fence with my lock

@fkamiah17 remind Sunak and friends that that "foreign" court (the #echr ) was created by the 1949 Treaty of London! UK withdrawal would be a disgrace, making our government a laughing stock, joining the 1970 Greek dictatorship.

2nd day at talking “urban nodes” (aka cities) and their connections to the EU Trans European Networks. It’s a jargon soup at the start.

@pettter @jon anyone who thinks there aren't complaints about buses isn't monitoring social media. People don't complain to bus operating companies or authorities any more because nothing changes.
