For those who are interested in such things, based on open passenger consist data it appears that the longest trains on the British Network are Avanti Pendolino at 571 metric tonnes, and are the longest at 264.83m but the Greater Anglia 12 unit FLIRT while the most seats are on the Greater Anglia Stanstead Airport service with 702 seats on the 11 unit service.

@rogerlipscombe if you like a book there is this https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/interactive-data-visualization/9781449340223/
My limited experience of #D3 wrangling then consists of stealing ideas from https://d3-graph-gallery.com or off the man himself, #MikeBostock here
https://bost.ocks.org/mike/There is then the #D3js related hosting environment but I will leave that as an exercise to the reader for further investigation

@joeldn this is a bit sketchy but there are a couple of examples here:

(There are bunch more of these at different scale which I should publish in a more structured way.
Also, if you are interested in such things here are some other things in my #Shed for the #30DayMapChallenge

@stefanlindbohm @lewd there is "an implementation period" which is meant to give time to implement these, albeit in my opinion, minimum standards.
One of the big complaints by some is "how little time there is to make these changes". Despite the fact that this has been proposed for at least three years.
The European Agency for Railways (ERA) published an introduction to the TSIs, including TAF and TAP, and would expect them to do the same for the TEL TSI. Just not yet.

For those interested in such things the new Telematics (TEL) Telematic Specification for Interoperability (TSI) was recently published on EU lex.
This replaces the Telematic Applications for Freight (TAF) and Telematic Applications for Passenger services (TAP).
I think it is an improvement but am aware others don't necessarily agree with me.

@Richard_Littler @cstross post alien my next childhood encounter with Giger's work was the use of "Landscape #XX" for the Dead Kennedy's album "Frankenchrist". I think its use as cover art was banned, at least I never saw a copy in the wild, but was included as a poster insert. (It also almost lead to having Jello Biafra locked up for distributing harmful material to minors and bankrupting the Alternative Tentacles record label.)

For the twenty ninth #30MapsInAMonth are two visualisations based on the @WorldPopProject 2030 projected population as 100m² raster data. The first shows the population of the Islands of Northern Europe and the second population change.

For the nineteenth #30MapsInAMonth are a set of map using different coordinate system projections of Natural Earth railway data https://www.naturalearthdata.com/
The four maps represent points on the oblate-spheroid that is the Earth on a surface. The first uses latitude and longitude in °, the rest are in meters. The second is commonly used on the web, the third a projection for Europe and the final is the UK Ordnance Survey map projection.

For the eleventh #30MapsInAMonth is an animated map of the British rail network showing track occupancy count for passenger train services in hour slices for the week of 18 August 2025.
This is based on the Network Rail centre-line track- or network-model and Common Interface File (CIF) format timetable file published on the Rail Data Marketplace combined with ORR and @openstreetmap location data for timetable points.

For those interested in such things, here is a map of the Islands of Northern Europe showing predicted population in 2015 on the left side and 2030 prediction on the right side. This uses @qgis to visualize @WorldPopProject 1km² grid data. This uses an shades of orange Viridis based population scale.

Here is a repost showing the shortest walking route on the British mainland as an orange line from census locations to the nearest heavy rail station. This uses #OpenStreetMap road and street data, #ONS and #LibraryOfScotland census population areas (Output Areas OA/Data Zone DZ) and was developed in #Python. The stations are show on the left-hand side as an orange diamond with a black boundary.

It looks like loading all the road and paths in Great Britain from #OpenStreetMap into as single #GeoPandas dataframe wasn't the smartest idea I had this weekend.
Although kudos to #osmnx for allowing me to even be able to get anywhere near doing something so daft.

It looks like the best connected station in Britain is Clapham Junction, followed by Manchester Piccadilly. For a given value of "best connected".

I have been working on a set of hierarchical hexagonal European population projections based on @WorldPopProject using @qgis @geopandas and #rasterio

This is then a population density render using @qgis @geopandas and #rasterio 1km² #population data at an #European scale including a reasonable chunk of #EasternEurope
