https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/25559334.rail-bosses-say-dry-weather-blame-rail-delays/

Let's not mention that all those examples of more extreme weather are linked to climate change, eh, EDP? If we pretend it isn't happening, it might go away(!)

@EUCommission

The future of #cars is to NOT be individually owned, and to be a last resort means of transportation.

Reducing drastically the share cars take in our transportation, the space they take when parked in our #cities, the #hospital beds they fill with #roadCasualties, is vital to our #climate, our #wellbeing and our #health.

We should invest in #rail and #bike #infrastructure, and not replace 260 million cars by as many e-cars.

Bullet trains were suspended as heavy rain lashed parts of Tokyo and its surrounding areas on Thursday afternoon, with flood risk advisories issued for several rivers in the capital. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/11/japan/rain-tokyo-september/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #meteorologicalagency #tokyo #rail #shinkansen

@AccordionBruce @mekkaokereke @rst @jbqueru Honestly, there are aspects of *Australian* train networks that Americans can't believe.

And given how far behind Asia and Europe Australia generally is when it comes to trains, that's saying something.

For example, all of Australia's mainland capital cities are sprawled out metropolitan areas, yet have multiple electrified train lines to the edge of suburbia.

As in, the trains are generally electrified multiple units that run all day. As in, the worst lines run every 40 minutes on weekends.

That's considered *bad* by the rest of the world.

Yet there's a lot of Americans who can't even conceive of the idea that thry would catch a train to work from an outer suburb.

Seriously, most Americans have no idea how far behind the rest of their world their country is.

I had an argument on here a while ago who couldn't believe that Sydney had a metro line to its outer suburbs that was faster than driving.

And compared to Europe? Lithuania has a better train system than most of the US. And that's with a starting point of a run-down Soviet infrastructure under Russian occupation 35 years ago.
