Honestly, tonight's show is very much not to be missed! We've got it all: AI slop peddling, ministerial meddling, evil corporations, a Class 66 costing £100M, wannabe tech bros and a sacking nobody is talking about yet. And all of it giving a clear view of where GBR is going.

Tonight, we're looking at GBRX, its boss Toufic Machnouk (recently sacked as head of ECDP), their champion Lord Peter Hendy and the work they've done with the likes of Palantir, NVIDIA and the Tony Blair Institute to create the railway industry AI action plan. Watch here: youtu.be/j8YefjoR0Ps

"The most dynamic countries are surging ahead with high-speed rail. Others, like Britain, are stuck in the station" Are you disagreeing with the central thesis of your own article? What's going on?

Simon Kendler@simonzev.bsky.social · yesterday

This is just not the case. Freight needs are widespread and the customer base is dynamic therefore, the classic network is better for freight but needs capacity, high speed lines should do the intercity traffic which proves aforementioned capacity.

This video was a good opportunity to use what I've coined "the map". It's something myself and @geofftech.bsky.social (mostly Geoff) have been working on for a while. It's great for placing #HS2 structures. www.geofftech.co.uk/downloads/HS...

Stu is doing another incredible walk for charity, but could do with some help. Previous charity walks have generated thousands of £ for good causes, so please consider supporting him with this latest challenge.

WALKING THE HIGHLAND CHIEFTAIN! From 2nd September I will be walking from London Kings Cross to Inverness following the route of the famous Highland Chieftain service to raise money for Samaritans! Please donate what you can: www.justgiving.com/page/highlan... #ChieftainChallenge

Artistic photo of an Azuma train with hills behind. Text on photo reads “Walking The Highland Chieftain (London Kings Cross - Inverness) I'm walking the entire route of the famous LNER Highland Chieftain service. Calling at Every Last Station along the way! (Including the ones that the Chieftain doesn't call at!)”

The earthworks required to hide #HS2 are staggering! Equally impressive and frustrating. As it undoubtedly added to the cost, but the tunnels more often get the 'blame'. I can't imagine how much it costs to move 10s of millions of m3. My latest video explores just a small section

I'm going to share my post again, because it's vital that people understand #ADHD is real and treatment can transform people's lives. I'm furious beyond words at how the media is framing ADHD lately ⏩ bsky.app/profile/rail... ⏪ 1/2

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”
