The ‘Cloisters’ at Glasgow Universities: vaulted ceilings as far as you can see

So, any new(ish) independent beer places in or near Glasgow I should pay a visit? I’m already planning to go to old favourites Koelschip Yard, Inn Deep, and Grunting Growler, to Shilling Brewing Co. too, and for the very first time to The Pursuit of Hoppyness […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

@seatsixtyone.bsky.social Well, the middle bit obviously is to secure your mini bike to, so it doesn’t fall on your—or anyone else’s—head!

It’ll be in between the red brick house and the stacked sewer pipe segments… #CanalCrew #Molenbeek #Brussels #Depot

View on the Brussels canal, the canal wall, and the houses a block away. The building site in between is invisible, because it’s still just a deep pit…

So #FediTrainBrain, anywhere I can find the exact height of luggage racks in trains? Because this was a really tight fit… (Lower lever first class on an M6, IC3438) #TrainTravel #BicyclesOnTrains #CyclingOnRails #BikeOnTrain

@tml That depends on how big? Otherwise, at some other seats it will definitely fit! No, that’s a LED, I think, although I don’t see it lit anywhere…

Whoop whoop! USB—B though, not C—at every pair of seats on the EuroCity Direct! #TrainTravel

A power socket and a USB C port wedged between two blue train seats. One of the seats is partially covered by a kilt in the colourful Pride of LGBT tartan.

SJ gave me quite a fright today, with a mail and text message (no app notification though?) about my upcoming Hamburg-Stockholm train trip being rebooked and my breakfast cancelled! Turns out quite well in the end: my sleeper train—breakfast still […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

It must have ended up at the bottom of the pile in the sorting centre when the postal strikes started here in Belgium, but about 40 days after ordering, my copy of Glasgow Uncovered finally arrived! Luckily I still have plenty of time to read it and prepare […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

Scottish people, those in the Fort William area in particular: any recommendations for taxi/tour companies that could take me from Fort William to Glenfinnan (Monument & exhibition + a view on the Viaduct) and back on 10/10/2026? The only (well, that’s what he […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

@osm_be One for the Belgian OSM community: now I’m adding Belgian/Brussels venues to a list, it's striking how the street addresses are missing for all of them… Quite annoying! Since I've been told off for adding them before, I was wondering if there are rules […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

Some of the train people here will probably like this Caledonian Sleeper plush locomotive… 😀 Also interesting to see the filled washbag (sometimes) given to Club Room and Double Room passengers, is valued at £40! […] [Original post on mastodon.green]

🇮🇪Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! ☘️ An excellent occasion to share this cartoon by @twisteddoodles !

So what’s going on with @traewelling? They say to have a look at their Mastodon account for updates, but I can’t find a full explanation? Can we expect improvement, or was this it? #traevelling #trains
