European Sleeper's new overnight route connecting Brussels with Milan begins service tonight. The route travels over Cologne, departing at Köln Hbf at 10:07pm and arriving in Milan at 11:40am the next day. This will be a boon to UK travelers, who will now have an overnight sleeper option to Italy.

Hi. I didn't know there was a single release of the DS9 theme. Further, I didn't know it's brilliant, and that while you listen to it you should picture the opening titles from a 1980s version of DS9 where each actor gets a brief action shot and a freeze-frame. www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1Ux...

Genuinely gutted to hear of Dolly Parton’s death. Through her music, her charitable work, her support for kids reading, her allyship to the LGBT community, and so much more, she made the world a better place. youtu.be/lKsQR72HY0s

Seems crazy that the safety critical control room for CrossCountry trains is in an office building with no provision for power failure. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

CrossCountry cancels 'almost all' UK services after power cut

Customers say the disruption to virtually all UK CrossCountry services is the "worst case scenario".

Nice day for an eclipse. (Shout out to the lovely man who offered us his spare eclipse glasses so we didn’t have to struggle with a pinhole viewer made out of a cereal box) 🕶️

Saw The Odyssey tonight. A genuinely action-packed and compelling film. The near three hours runtime flew by. Also finding it hilarious that this film, full of sword fighting, bloody violence and pillaging armies is being dismissed by online cranks as “too woke” 🙄
