https://news.sky.com/story/afghanistan-explosion-outside-kabul-airport-pentagon-says-12391238 Quite surprised to see it was actually ISIS behind the attack. It does make sense considering the spate of attacks they unleashed on London, and the fact there are lots of western forces in one place...

I believe the reason for it being in-person means that speeches can have more of an effect on the leaders, and that they can make more of an impact. Someone on Zoom could easily mute someone on their side if they don't want to hear what they say.

Very true. I just hope they don't waste time with this.

Totally agreed. I do think we will be seeing lots more commitment being taken at COP26, and most likely some action especially if ministers and leaders are beginning to recognise the crisis. I'd imagine a lot more will be done by leaders of Europe, particularly the likes of Germany and Belgium...

Is that Winter Hill in the left?

Had a person ask me while boarding a railtour at Kilwinning if it was the Glasgow train... in fairness to the guy, the charter train wasn't advertised on the screens.

I believe St. Pauls can’t have its line of sight blocked, but i’m not sure if that just includes ones from different parts of London.

I do think Glasgow needs the boost a lot more. We’ve had quite a few huge losses with Ryanair cutting their base, Thomas Cook going bust and Virgin Atlantic pulling out. Bearing in mid we also lost American Airlines to Edinburgh too.

Our cases have skyrocketed, which is bizarre as we have stricter measures. Hopefully that doesn’t mean Miss Sturgeon will shove us all into lockdown again.

Public reception on Twitter isn't great at all, with people just wanting them to leave the timetables alone.

Only one I've got. Unfortunately it's paywalled. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/jetblue-london-heathrow-new-york-new-routes-covid-gatwick-ktbxfkgzp If anyone is subscribed to The Times and can get past the paywall, I'll appreciate it.

https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/stunning-london-skyline-captured-camera-11180085 Stunning. Skyline of London, including Canary Wharf, London Eye, Gherkin and the Shard. The London Eye doesn't seem that huge when you are up close, but the fact you can see it 35 miles away really...

Anyone who wants the WHL and Far North cut should do their research. Even in Winter, it's not uncommon to be on a busy Oban or Fort William service. They also forget that the line isn't just for tourists, but also rural communities such as Rannoch who rely on the service to get their...

They do seem intent on running this network into the ground don't they? I think they don't want to address the staff shortages as it saves them a bit of extra money, when really they should be. It sounds like they don't want to hire more staff... Slowing down the Perth and Dundee service is a...

Agreed, I find Glasgow better equipped for bigger jets, whereas Edinburgh seems to only really suit the narrowbodies. I think Glasgow is an underrated airport as a whole. However, JetBlue have hinted at introducing flights to Glasgow from New York... heres hoping?

I can agree on the Maryhill line staying hourly, given the areas served by the route do have relatively good bus connection to the City Centre, I rarely see a packed Maryhill line train.

One thing I’m not a fan of is keeping Ayr 2tph, sure don’t reinstate the 4tph, but 2tph calling at basically all the stations isn’t great at all. Do they expect people in summer to pack in on a 3 carriage all stops train to Ayr? Having done it when lockdown eased, it was full and standing.

No No No No No. Gourock staying at 2tph off-peak permanently? Bad decision since the fast service takes 40 minutes, while the all stops takes about 50. Not great at all, especially given how populated Inverclyde is. 1tph on the Cumbernauld route... makes Robroyston a waste in a sense. Reading...

I hope these don't run overbudget and behind schedule again, since it's had an effect on a local business. https://twitter.com/LosCardos/status/1428422531632013316 Weren't some businesses on Princes Street also complaining during the initial tramworks because of the noise and reduced footfall?
