FINAL DAY OF
@TilburyFerry
!!
After 720 years of service to the local community, the Tories have robbed local councils of their funding, killing the ferry.
RIP Tilbury Ferry (until new operator, if ever)
1304 - 2024
I just realised....
Essex Road without the ticket office is gonna be even more scary than before...
Like, imagine losing the one person who watches CCTV and being down here...

Anything before around August 2023 should be 100% safe as that's when they started trialling it
HOW TO USE THE TILBURY FERRY
This is a guide on how to use the Tilbury - Gravesend ferry. I feel like this is useful to post now, since plenty of enthusiasts will be flocking down to use it who have never touched it before.
@AssignedMale
The second image hits hard. Suddenly gave me a flood of memories about it happening to me when I was 4...
...I will never be the same again. One day I will heal from the trauma, but the sun will never truly rise here

What are you even doing? Ticket offices are VITAL for all sorts of passengers, from the elderly to the impaired. They're also sometimes faster than using a ticket machine!!
I suggest you cancel this plan and resign asap.
Train drivers are paid significantly more than bus drivers, but 70% of Britons think that being a bus driver is the harder job to do - only 12% think being a train driver is harder
fyi since its the last day of the tilbury ferry tomorrow
There's a dump of SORN buses in a public car park near the Tilbury port of the Tilbury Ferry

Happy 2nd birthday to the Elizabeth line!
Whilst it's changed a fair bit with new CIS, new announcements and some small tweaks since 2022, it's still my favourite railway to this day...
... I say this after there's reports of a fire at the country end of AML
@geofftech
So let's see what the Victoria line has....
4G? ❌
Platform doors ❌
Star Wars? ❌
Semi decent architecture? ❌
A nice sounding train? ❌
Interesting abandoned stations? ❌
Special liveries? ❌
So let's vote Jubilee instead which has all of these!
And there it is.
1900 years of history, from the Romans to the Anglo Saxons, to the Vikings documenting it in 1304, and the Tudors and the Victorians up to today, all over because of a few Tories.
Rest in Peace, Tilbury Ferry. Fly high.
Ok, ok, ok.
Like this tweet if you think the blue 707s are better
Comment below anything you want if you think the red 707s are better
If you do both you love the blue 707s more than the red btw
I feel like bus maintenance can make a huge difference between an old, rattly bus and a really nice bus
Take a look at these 2 buses; one from Arriva Kent Thameside and one from Ensignbus.
One's extremely rattly and has pretty bad ride quality and the other is smooth af
Have a nice Transgender Day of Visibility 2024 everyone.
Let's all stand up for the rights of our trans brothers, sisters, and everything in between.

Do you remember the old days when
The lizzy line quiet and more frequent
Every 5 minutes from Abbey Wood - Paddington, always perfectly tranquil as nobody knew about it yet
Doing work on the thumbnail for the next pod.
For some reason one news article had a photo of Hillary Cass holding a tablet. So now, I have a good photoshop opportunity for everyone:

Smartphones are experimental and should be stopped
The Elizabeth line is experimental and should be closed down
WiFi is experimental and should be banned
The internet is experimental and should be banned
What else?
Someone's hurt my trust really badly over the past few days, which is why my profile pictures are going black and white on all social media sites
Until I can safely trust someone again without my old family trauma being brought up, no colour will be present in any pfp
Sorry
Today's 18th March, a very special day for me
On this day in 2020, Boris Johnson annoucned that schools would close with the last day of school being 20th March 2020.
This saved me an immense amount of trauma from Parents Evening on May 7th 2020 (cancelled)
Common occurrence in Greenhithe tbh
Fastrack bus stop with glass smashed. Not the first time I've seen it, but this one sticks out to me as this is the first time I've seen one with some of the glass still standing
Good lord. Tonight was NOT good for the GWML.
Thoughts to everyone who was stranded for up to 4 hours in those trains 😬 not fun especially without a toilet

- Brilliant track record for new trains
- Class 755s have won 3x consecutive Golden Spanner Awards for reliability
- Class 745s winning silver spanner awards in 2022
- Enable level boarding to not discriminate against wheelchair users
Wait. Lemme get this right.
How can an 18 year old run for councillor and win? The Cass Review says she needs to wait 7 years before making such big decisions!
🚨 NEW: 18-year-old Daisy Creedon-Blakemore - elected for Labour - believes she is now the youngest councillor in the country
She sits her A Levels next week

Shortly after taking this, the driver changing ends asked why this was my favourite unit
He got a lovely story today
Thanks for helping me find this
@03_179
btw
I love Class 376s 💓
I love EMR Miles 😍😍
I adore Wright Streetlites 💓💓💓
Ew... Is that a Class 745 I hear at Stratford? Go away! I'm trying to spot Streetlites at Stratford bus station! Awful units, just like the rubbish 345s.
And why are there so many awful Streetdecks here?

LAST DAY OF
@TilburyFerry
The last boats on 2024-03-28 have already departed.
There are NO BOATS tomorrow as it's a bank holiday!
FINAL DAY OF THE BOATS: 2024-03-30 (Sat)
9. Have fun
It's a very fun experience. Very sad to see it go...
I guess you could say that Rishi Sunak stopped the boats, just not the ones he was looking for
One of my best friends' posts has perfectly summarised the need for

- Just look at the comments!
It's 2024 CE, not 5000BCE
You are using a computer, not a stone tablet
You light your shelter with electricity, not campfires
Wake up
I cannot thank
@03_179
enough for assisting me in finding 345070 today; I even got to see the cab.
Without him, I'd have been on a rattly overcrowded streetlite!
