Log into YouTube and you’ll find any number of videos depicting graphic scenes of cruise ships colliding with each other, or crunching into the unforgiving walls of concrete docks. Some collisions occasionally hit the headlines too, such as when MSC Opera crashed into a much smaller riverboat in Venice in 2019 – fuelling passionate calls for the city to clamp down on such unwieldy visitors.
It is unlikely that many people placed an order for the Vauxhall Belmont in the expectation it would bestow significant amounts of charisma on them. It was definitely not a car for cutting a dash at the office party, or for posing in general. Its purpose was to transport drivers and their sample cases from one travel tavern to another. And today, David Walker’s 1990 1.6GL is one of only 27 left on the road.
Among the hundreds of trains criss-crossing Ukraine’s elaborate railway network every day, the Kyiv-Kramatorsk train stands apart, shrouded in solemn silence as passengers anticipate their destination. Every day, around seven in the morning, passengers of this route leave the relative safety of the capital and head east to frontline areas where battles between Ukrainian forces and Russian troops rage and Russian strikes are frequent with imprecise missiles that slam into residential areas. The passengers are a mix of men and women that offer up a slice of Ukrainian society these days.
The special tickets offering unlimited journeys on Tubes and buses are being withdrawn after 40 years by Mayor Sadiq Khan from January in a bid to raise Transport for London an extra £40 million annually. Passengers heading into London typically add a day Travelcard onto their rail ticket – with the total cost normally cheaper than if they were to pay separately for all journeys. The Campaign for Better Transport warns axing one-day Travelcards will make it about 16 per cent more expensive for family rail trips to London and even launched a protest called ‘Don’t Cut The Card’.
Police were called to Warbreck Hill Road at 6.17pm yesterday (September 21) to reports a Kia Niro had mounted the pavement and collided with a telegraph pole. No other vehicles were thought to be involved.
Florida's new high-speed train service, Brightline Rail, has officially launched. The privately owned passenger train represents a $6 billion private investment—a first of its kind in the last century. The route covers the 235-mile journey from Miami to Orlando, reaching speeds of up to 125 mph. Amtrak currently operates the only other high-speed line in the U.S., located in the D.C. area.
