It's probably that nobody noticed before, but ironically Brand has made people notice that the site exists and advertisers that were happy to slip under the radar are now worried people will see them funding it. Brand is so virulently toxic he's opening up new

Is his audience that much bigger than the other people who've fled to it? I guess maybe individually? I thought crowder and walsh and them had pretty big audiences.

The others who fled are more internet famous, and so brands aren't worried about the average consumer's outrage.

On the plus side, apparently every bad take haver in the world is rushing to his defence so he will have a new and exciting audience of oiks on the platform and the rest of them get to be associated with horrific sex crimer russel brand. Particularly exciting to see the leading lights of the terf brigade come out in favour of woman and child protector russel brand.

So I lived five minutes walk from here for years and from the outside it didn't actually look that bad, however I always assumed it was temporary while they "regenerated" that estate. I didn't realise they were meant to be a long term thing. It's no surprise to me at all that the difficulties the community on that estate were facing has just been concentrated into a smaller more deprived area now the bulk of it is posh flats. What they've built is actually quite nice and would have been a great thing for the community if more of the existing residents had been given the new places. Some have but not enough.

I was once on my way back from edinburgh after attending a family do with some relatives and got stuck at berwick because the line had collapsed south of berwick. So they punted everyone off the train and berwick suddenly had hundreds of people from several trains all trying to find accomodation. So I booked it ahead of everyone and managed to tie down a B&B until the rest of my gang caught up. I presume berwick saw a steady tide of irritable traingoers washing over it from the station that night. love the british rail system

Failed Imagineer posted:A fun thread fable of getting a British train, extremely functional system you got there. Closest tale i have to this was getting the train back from Glasgow after seeing The Melvins (supported by Flipper & Big Business, what a loving show). I was due back in Inverness with enough time to get home, change, shower and then get to a 13 hour night shift, except there was flooding north of Perth so the conductor suggested I stay on the train to Aberdeen rather than change, then get the Aberdeen Inverness train. Which wasn't ideal but I'd at least get to work even if it meant foregoing the shower. Or dinner. Except it turned out there was also flooding on the line to Aberdeen and the train had to go slow, meaning connection missed. After some dawdling ScotRail finally agreed to put on 5 or 6 taxis. Think we were 4 hours late in the end. Somehow that seems reasonable next to this silliness. There was another tweet thread of a school trip who were on the train, 5 adults to 50 kids. And they were basically told "lol you're hosed then" because they couldn't have the appropriate 10/1 ratio of kids to adults in a taxi. Never found out what happened there but even that it was contemplated leaving kids overnight stranded in Preston seems a damning indictment of our railways

There is something that speaks to my soul about "the train you are on has been cancelled" Like that just makes perfect sense to me, of course that happens, that is exactly how things work here. Faceless robot tells you that the thing you're doing that's working fine has to stop, nobody knows why, but it happens anyway, the robot can't be wrong.

Oh, I forgot about when I was in Sheffield I got a Cross Country to Edinburgh. Safe in the knowledge that I was headed to the terminal station I went to sleep as the train was nearing Leeds. Woke up noticing that we were leaving Leeds the way we arrived and was really confused, I'd slept over an hour. Well, apparently everyone got off the train at a station, maybe York, and then was turned around headed for Southampton. I still don't really understand what the gently caress happened there.

Of course this sort of thing would never actually happen, but it's entirely plausible that a dodgy taxi firm in Preston is in cahoots with the train-cancelling robot.

OwlFancier posted:There is something that speaks to my soul about "the train you are on has been cancelled" I just don't get trains now unless it's a very short journey. Even inner-city driving and parking is less hassle. Last time I went to Manchester I drove and my car got broken into; still less bother than dealing with trains.

Failed Imagineer posted:A fun thread fable of getting a British train, extremely functional system you got there. Did this happen last night? The hotel next to Ayr station went on fire which inexplicably caused basically every service to be cancelled (including services that do not go through Ayr). My partner called me in a panic as she was stuck in central with no information, a board full of cancelled trains, no indication of replacement busses. Take a bus home instead you say? Would probably have worked if Stagecoach didn't decide to totally gut their rural services earlier in the year removing all of the stops from the single X that stops in our town. She lucked out and managed to get a last chopper out of Saigon situaton, hopping on the last Glasgow to Carlisle train which had a stop with a connection to a local bus service (the local bus took 1hr 15 mins). The only other options after that would be a taxi or hotel (the hotel would probably have cost less). keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Sep 26, 2023 |

The other option would be that the train goes through a switch out of reality itself and ends up on the express line to the bureaucracy dimension (the express line is delayed indefinitely)
