The driver "managed to contact the control centre at Network Rail and get the train diverted onto the slow line", Calder says. "That was absolutely crucial because this train was scheduled to be travelling through Huntingdon station on the tracks with no platform at 125mph."

Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest possible way" thanks to the "incredible professionalism from the driver and the police". Train drivers are trained on how to take appropriate action, he adds,

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

A boost on this and lots of signatures appreciated folks

I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Welcoming, compassionate and empathetic.

This brilliant photo sort of sums up why I love sport. Just an astonishing human achievement. Also, stupid, pointless thing to do. Both can be true.

Pay attention to where you pay attention.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Protests and counter protests held outside asylum hotels in Scotland Demonstrations under the Abolish Asylum System slogan were met with a counter-protest organised by Perth Against Racism.

When it comes to refugees, I know which side most Scots are on. And it's not just racism that's not welcome here - it's the British Government's whole hostile environment, and the British parties promoting it.
