It's a year since The Greatest Gathering! From 1-3 August 2025 we welcomed thousands of visitors to 507001 at Alstom's works in Derby, as part of this once in a generation railway event. The pit tours and simulator were big hits! Thanks to Team 507 for all their hard work at the show.

They all look tired but happy.

Just a heads up, use this link to voice your concerns/opposition to this potential move. Ideally I don't want this at all, but at the very least any AI training features should be optional and opt-out BY DEFAULT. 'Creators MAY be able to opt out of SOME data' is pathetic & nowhere near enough.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

No joke - the Ford Mondeo is why I'm a BTCC fan. My granddad owned one in the late 1990s, & the first time I watched BTCC as a kid was at my grandparents' house. I remember seeing a Mondeo on the track, & excitedly yelling 'GRANDDAD YOUR CAR'S RACING ON THE TELLY!' The rest is history. 💙

I do enjoy the Commonwealth Games, but they've been seriously struggling in recent times, and are running a massively scaled back Games this year. Still, I was looking forward to it. Until I found out it's all on TNT. Where far less people will be able to watch it. Because that makes sense 🙃

Today's the day. My stomach is fizzing with a combination of approximately 30% nerves, & 70% unbridled excitement for you all to finally see this. Tonight. YouTube. 6pm UK time. It's been a long time coming...not quite 200 years, but it sure feels like it 😁💖

After the most wonderful day out yesterday at the London Transport Museum Depot in Acton, I've been enjoying a much-needed peaceful morning today. As for what books to read over a cuppa tea? Well after yesterday, I've got quite a few new ones to choose from...

Five books are laid out on my bed. Top left is Railways of Britain: Norfolk & Suffolk, top right is Coming Up With The Goods. Middle left is British Rail Around The North-West, middle right is Stanier Locomotives: A Pictorial History. Bottom is The Southern Around London: A Colour Portfolio. Next to the last book is my hand holding a cup of tea in my Crash Bandicoot mug.

When the 2005 pack first came out for AMS2, I loved it, and I specifically said that the *only* thing that could've made it even more perfect...was the Saleen S7R. Reiza really said, 'oh, you JUST wanted the Saleen? Buddy we can do WAY better than that.' I am SO ready. <3

🔥 Saleen, Lister, TVR, Spyker, Panoz... More mid-2000s endurance cars are coming AMS2's way, as Reiza confirmed a bunch of new cars for the next update - which we're "on the verge of", according to the studio 👀 📰 Read more: www.overtake.gg/news/ams2-se...

So far in the Rd of 32, almost every underdog team* has been eliminated in the most depressing, heartbreaking & often controversial ways possible. Clearly, this is all building up to an epic Cape Verde upset this evening. Or maybe it's just the level of disappointment this tournament deserves.

God every bloody Ai disclosure on steam is always like "UwU we just used a little plagiarism machine, we're a small team, AND ITS OUR BIRTHDAY, that means its ok" And like actually stfu, solo devs and small teams have been making banger games for DECADES. Literal skill issue.

It's Le Mans weekend. Legit one of my favourite weekends of the entire year. I'm comfy on the sofa. Drinks and snacks are in the fridge. Pizza for dinner. And as has been tradition for the last 16 years, I've got @radiolemans.bsky.social guiding me through. Bliss. I love this race. 💖

I realised recently that I've been an @oswreview.bsky.social fan for over TEN YEARS. So much in my life has changed in that time. Almost everything. & yet, all this time, they've been the constant. As if to prove the point, they drop this last night, & ofc it's an all-timer episode. Legends 💖
