Railway closures are often like buses - you get none and then you get a year or so where they come along every month or so. It's not entirely surprising given that if they're replacing sleepers/rails, there's a limit to how much they can do in an overnight period and presumably the entire line needs checked to avoid emergencies. But with capacity as it is during the week with us demanding earlier/later trains, the overnight window has got shorter and shorter. The RR buses did seem to be running pretty frequently though so although it's a bit longer, at least people could get places.


Anyone who keeps a car just for the one weekend in x that the trains are running would be nuts though. By the time you covered insurance/maintenance for the weekends the trains were running, you'd be cheaper getting a cab wherever you wanted on that weekend.

      Your post is confusing. You say I’ve used ‘public shame and ostracism’ that just doesn’t make sense to me.  Maybe southwark should have a similar poster thanks for referring to it.

      Council "weed" removal

      The shots are mainly of Melford Road and the rubric suggests that the street cleaner bags on 'Thursdays'. The general rubbish collection is on Tuesdays. If the bags haven't been collected on Friday, but have been left for general disruption over the weekend then the bin men will see simply a rubbish strewn road with this rubbish not in any bin. They don't have time to street clean themselves so will not collect it. I reiterate that the crews I see for general rubbish collection, the 'bin men' are careful and considerate in their collections from bins, some of which are indeed very full, to overflowing. They don't collect bagged rubbish left on the street away from bins, nor have they the time or are tasked to clean the streets of scattered rubbish.

      Very decent of you. I accept and apologise to Penguin so as to keep "community relations" friendly.

      Coordinated posts intended to mould opinions and silence debate

      I have been thinking about using an AI to cross-reference comments; between public commenting platforms along with the news of the day, for past events (that needed to be "dealt with" for narrative management), future events which need to be "shaped" or "nudged" to move the public in a particular direction (narrative control) and what it is that forms the "community". I think it is happening on a large number of comment forums. I can already see a pattern with a number of single-issue commenters (that have the nerve to accuse others of being "obsessed" or of being a member of certain political parties) that make feeble attempts to comment on other subjects but really have only one obsession. They are obvious. But I also want to see the patterns of enforcers and Igor / Renfield types.
