With the heaviest of hearts, I guess Gianni Infantino will now have to withdraw the FIFA Peace Prize.

A reminder that you don't have to be an EU member to join the EU's free mobile roaming area through an association agreement. Why isn't the UK in it? Because of political cowardice. 🇬🇧PMs have, since 2020, been afraid to do anything that looks like rejoining 🇪🇺.
Today, Ukraine and Moldova officially join the EU Roaming area. What does this mean? People from 🇺🇦 & 🇲🇩 can now call, text and use their mobile data from their local phone numbers for communication to the 27 EU countries at no extra cost and vice versa.

4 of the top 6 goal scorers in the championship are Coventry players. 3 of them weren't even playing today!

One of the great Institutions of the Industrial Revolution is the Institute of Mechanical Engineers or IMechE of which I’m a member. It would seem that the so called Trustees are trying to sell off its HQ in Birdcage Walk, London and undermine the Institutes proud heritage.

In today's water is wet, and pope is Catholic news, E* orders trains from Alstom and bases them at TM to block any new entrant's ability to compete. Politics aside, should be good for passengers! (Assuming level boarding and St P capacity upgrades!)
BREAKING NEWS - NO PAYWALL: Eurostar orders 30 double-deck Eurostar Celestia trains from Alstom with options for 20 more and service entry from 2031.

A drug-addled South African rocket maker plotting regime change in Britain is very Brosnan-era Bond, isn’t it?

Yep, I feel very, very old now.
2006 - Luka Modric's first appearance at the Emirates - on 23 August 2006 for Dinamo Zagreb against Arsenal in a UEFA Champions League qualifier - was 34 days before Myles Lewis-Skelly was born, who he will be facing tonight. Longevity.

Can we sift the "seeking," "planning," and "could" out of these cross-channel stories, please? Let us know when there's an "is" and we might pay attention.
New British company Gemini Trains is seeking to enter the cross-Channel high-speed market to compete with Eurostar.

Several TOCs across the UK getting good PR by providing free onwards travel to those caught up in the Heathrow debacle. Eurostar - how should we miss the open goal this time... "You can book via..."
In response to the disruption at Heathrow Airport today, we're adding extra trains to support affected travellers. Details below 👇 Please allow additional time for your departures due to increased passengers travelling. You can book via our website or app https://t.co/OwagAwiSk0

Seems substations in Hayes have the same architectural merit of Salisbury Cathderal... Would also be interesting to see if shutting the whole airport is the first line in the contingency plan.
