  1. Great to see it confirmed that #ScotRail will replace the (sadly) “past best before date” IC125s with Class 222 #trains on #InterCity services, with 6 bike spaces, catering, charging sockets, etc, and that they hope these will start to enter service from late 2027.

    (Sadly still diseasels, while the #ScotGov ongoing electrification programme gradually extends northwards.)

  4. Very good to read that #WindEnergy is booming in BW. 🌬️♻️

    And possibly almost as good to see yet another #GovMastodon account from mainland #Europe (something that #ScotGov and #UKGov are still studiously woefully ignoring, crazily continuing to spend taxpayers’ money on ad space on (and implicitly supporting) certain #CesspitNetworks instead… 🙄😒) xn--baw-joa.social/@Umweltmini

  6. “A spacecraft that will hunt for signs of alien life on one of Jupiter’s icy moons, Europa, has blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida.”

    Wait, didn’t we get the memo? 😧#ThisWontEndWell #AttemptNoLandingThere

  9. Is the #BOINC #DistributedComputing project sadly gradually becoming obsolete or dying? #WCGrid nowadays seems to spend almost as much time down as up under its not-so-new caretakers, I very very rarely get any work from #ClimatePrediction, #RosettaAtHome also seems to have fairly frequent server errors, and most of the rest seem to be literal number-crunching that I don't want to expend electricity on. Have #GPU nodes mostly taken over for this sort of scientific research now?

  12. Free #citybike hire from #Voi bikes to help people travel to polling stations for Scottish, Welsh (and English council) elections on Thursday 7 May. Helpful if you only have limited time to pop out to vote! #ScotParl #ScotParl2026 #citybikes

    (Not well promoted as Voi only use cesspit social networks 😒🙄🤦‍♂️
    Via #SpokesLothian on Bluesky)

  15. " #VirginMedia #O2 lost nearly 400,000 customers thanks to price hikes"

    Gosh, who would ever have seen that coming? Give the finger to your customers, and you shouldn't be surprised if they give you the finger back! 🙄

    (If your UK #mobile network has dialled up prices over the past year, you should look around for a better deal. Lots of competition on prices, #TextToPort makes switching easy, and most #MVNO services offer much better deals than the "Big Networks")

  18. Please tell me I did •not• just overhear an advert on the radio in the cafeteria voiced by someone with a #Scottish accent (and therefore probably on an actual Scottish radio station) referring to “our trick-or-treat trail”?!!

    It’s #guising you total tumshie!! You certainly ought to ken better! 😒😡

    Whatever they were trying to sell, I sure as hell won’t be buying it…

  23. #ScotRail sadly failing yet again to provide a proper quality #InterCity service. What really should be a 4 or 5 coach #InterCity125 ends up compressed into a 3 coach regional #Turbostar instead. The sooner they replace the now clapped out and unreliable 40+ year old #HST with more reliable modern proper InterCity trains (and #ScotGov electrifies the routes), the better!
