Don't ever change BBC.

There is a new system centralising rail ticketing and scheduling being brought in in England. So how does the BBC illustrate this? With a picture of a bridge in Scotland. So my answer to the question in their headline, as a user of that bridge, is "Fuck off BBC".

So the England and Scotland rail systems are separate?

I thought that was a US sort of thing.

Like if you are in Manhattan, and you want to take a taxi to Newark Airport. If you are in downtown Manhattan (where the World Trade Centre used to be, and where that America-is-the-land-of-the-free-not-like-your-shithole-country or whatever it is called replacement tower is now), Newark is the closest major airport, quite easily. So taking a taxi there is no problem, except the airport is in New Jersey, so a New York taxi driver is not allowed to bring a passenger back. So you have to negotiate, and more or less pay double.

They don't have to change the gauge when they cross the Antonine Wall, do they?

And for what it's worth, ChannelNewsAsia ran something about how things are at the airport now.

The main photo was of people walking around in a terminal that's been closed for months.

Also, this England only scheme is apparently getting called “Great British Railways”.
