The only time I've bothered with Twitter (not railway related) I
haven't found anything sufficiently interesting to persevere with it.


Are you a potential user of Pikfu. It seems they tweeted last night
about the launch of the ?beta service.

Except that Network Rail runs Paddington


Passenger services are subcontracted to the majority TOC at Network
Rail stations, generally.

You're right, no problems in the UK will be solved by anything that
happens in the Netherlands, which is the most densely-populated
significant country in Europe.

Or if you really did mean the most densely-populated country in Europe,
then inviting people into Monaco *certainly* won't make any difference
to the UK.

It's also a country where the government is
starting a holocaust against the chronically ill and the poor


I think you'll find that holocausts are quite out of fashion in the
Netherlands (and Monaco).

England is more densely populated than the Netherlands. The UK is less so.

None of those routes is the quickest. In the small hours go M23/M25 Anticlockwise/A2/Blackwall Tunnel/A12/Redbridge roundabout/M11.

England is more densely populated than the Netherlands. The UK is less
so.


Irrelevant: you either need to compare at the levels of regions-that-
are-historical-countries *or* at the levels of nation-states. Comparing
England to the Netherlands is a category error. And of course, Holland
is more densely populated than England.
