There is one announcement I hate hate hate more than any other on public transport: “Please refrain from playing loud music in the quiet carriages”
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
DON’T PLAY FUCKING LOUD MUSIC IN ANY CARRIAGE YOU SHITS
#PublicTransit #purpletrain
@oysta ms16 said the same. I hope you’re not enduring a slow #purpletrain ride home.
OH no! London Transport Museum is going to cost me a lot of money... I have been hoping they'd release these for ages and randomly on a whim I looked today and here they are.. HECK.... I have so much want for these XD
TOTALLY NOT BECAUSE PURPLE

On a #purpletrain with one locked carriage, and one carriage without air conditioning. Can we have the New Intercity trains now please?
I do enjoy catching up with coworkers in town, but gee it makes for a long day. Tired now. #purpletrain
Looks like we'll finally get our #purpletrain service back on 21 Jan. https://www.bluemountainsgazette.com.au/story/8038275/this-is-great-news-blue-mountains-rail-passenger-services-to-recommence-on-january-21/
ICYMI, a freight car derailed so its wheels acted as a plough, tearing up sleepers and cutting electrical connections to the rails and such. By the time it was spotted and the train stopped it had gone 10km.
2nd December:
Work:
Journey abandoned: Felt unwell & decided to go back home.
If feel better tomorrow, hopefully the walking trip will go ahead.
If I do go, there will be new track, stations & a certain #PurpleTrain.
Have to say, Geoff Marshall's YouTube videos are brilliant. Latest is a 10-minute long conversation in the cab of a #purpletrain with the operator all about how the signalling, automatic control, etc. works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYval9wSlbc
ps. Geoff - get on Mastodon!

#TransportForLondon #TfL reports via #FOI answer that the new #ElizabethLine 's emissions are 25g #CO2 per passenger KM.
(FOI https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-1845-2223 )
Back in August'22, TfL gave similar stats for London's other transport modes (FOI https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-1147-2223).
Appears that the new Lizzie Line is best public transport mode, beaten only by walking and cycling

Genuinely a bit weepy to get my first direct #PurpleTrain from Paddington to Stratford today. As someone who lives in Bristol with family and friends in East London this brings us closer together. #PublicTransport
I have the full set! 🥳
