Found an old Ladybird Book of British Railway Locomotives in a charity shop and nabbed it for a friend’s kid. Scanned in the illustration on the cover so I could also add it to the mailing label, so here, internet, have a pretty thing – as the original scan and a quickly cleaned-up 1-bit version.

Lovely collection of photos and writeups of a bunch of UK inter-war railway stations.
Feels like the book (with many, many more) would be of interest to #train #railways fediverse (and maybe also interwar #architecture folk)

Over 600 Cabinet Office files have been released under the 20-year rule, covering Tony Blair’s Labour government, 2004–2005. They include correspondence, policy papers, and detailed records on the privatisation of #British Rail, notably CAB164-2253, which covers legislative strategy for the #Railways Act 1993, franchise planning, pensions, and freight operations. Other files relate to Kim Philby’s archive, the 2012 Olympics bid, and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. More than 80 documents are digitised and available online via The National Archives, with the remainder accessible in person at The National Archives in Kew, south-west #London.

While on one level this story of a AI-generated picture of a bridge collapse (after the earthquake centred near Morecambe Bay on Wednesday night) leading to train cancelations seems relatively minor, its an example of the sort of disruption that the use of AI is already generating.... we may soon find that having no real trust in any images will cause all sorts of social problems (which is not to say that disruption is not already evident).
