I've nudged the AI to re-review those pages, and the rest of the scanned records, so hopefully they should be better now! 1790936329 I’ve now added loading gauge, cleared TOPS classes, and RA ratings to (hopefully) all pages. The way the info is transcribed doesn’t nearly line up with the...

Admittedly I have only been around London and Glasgow this month, but I have seen very few 76 plate EVs. Plenty of PHEV Jaecoos, VAG stuff (including an Audi Q2 which I would have guessed would have been off sale had I not seen it), and a Range Rover Sport. A few Teslas I've seen, but not much...

based on a Renault 5, and slightly cheaper!

I've added a sidebar in each LOR, which has links to each diagram there without having to scroll the entire page, and I've collapsed a lot of the text info by default. Let me know if that's what you were thinking of. I've improved search (it was treating spaces in station names as separate...

Hello folks, If you've ever found yourself wanting to be a nerd and look up line speeds, but are put off by the 1000+ page PDFs that Network Rail produces, I've set an LLM the task of scanning the PDFs and making a searchable archive of them. You can find the archive here sectionalappendix.com...

The TrainSplit apps fully support E-Tickets for all ScotRail journeys :)

RE: the discussion about wayfinding. The first time I had to make a connection at New Street (actually going to Moor Street), I got so hopelessly lost a security guard came to find me to ask if I was alright, and led me out a fire escape to exit New Street. My mistake was, treating the ↗ arrow...

To be fair, you’d have to be out of your tree to drive 100 to 0% on a motorway in a short(er) range EV. You’d want atleast 10 or 20 miles buffer so there’s no risk of power output dropping, so that takes you to 160 miles of range. Then say it’s cold in the winter and you can shave another 10-20...

There is a system today called FuelAssist where disabled drivers can request help with refuelling their car ahead of time (and I think even pay via an app). I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have places where assistance is offered for EV chargers, especially with some of the higher power, oil...

There seem to have been a lot of graffiti recently as well, or there has been no time to have units properly cleaned to remove it. Several units in and around Glasgow have the spots of the livery completely missing due to the power washing

A few years ago I had to hire an auto for my partner. and she was so used to driving EVs she didn't want a manual anymore. I had requested an auto medium-sized hatch, and what was presented to me was a VW T-Roc R (the 300hp SUV). So I can well believe that for smaller cars where manuals are more...

Which is also the TVM which Scotrail trialled at Glasgow Central for a year(?) (now removed though)

I am biased as I am a developer for TrainSplit, but I would like to chip and and say: a) thank you for reporting bugs to us, we are a small team and they do get read and prioritised by the development team b) I would say our main priority trying to make the best customer experience we can for...

First time in my life so far I’ve seen the “new” buses become the ones being withdrawn! I always liked how gruff the engines sounded at idle on that batch of Geminis
