The first train I tried to catch in 2024 (the 0736 from Stoke to Macclesfield on 3 January if you just know) was cancelled. So I decided to track my trains for the rest of the year. Here's my findings of just how dogshit the operating companies have been for me this year.

Why did nobody tell me about this sooner?

@zuza_real they literally constantly bring up how it’s in Miami, half the cast is Cuban and the other half is Irish, and the main guy uses his boat to dispose of the bodies and they’re always bossa nova to lighten the mood after a dark scene.

This is one of the hardest but also one of the most important warnings from the history of Auschwitz coming for us today. Perpetrators were in fact people who accepted and followed an ideology that made them believe that they were better than others, an ideology that
