Yes, Swiss trains are reilable - with infrastructure maintenance that actually stops it from deteriorating. However, what stands out most to me is 98.7% of connections made. Do you know what ours is in the UK? No nor to I, and that is part of our problem.

Researchers have estimated that an electric car will have a lifespan of 18.4 years, compared with 18.7 years for petrol cars and 16.8 years for diesels. I would expect EVs life to get better as battery technology maturates theguardian.com/environment/…

fly tipping is a blight on our communities and is a vicious cycle attracting more fly tipping 🚮
on my walks i report fly tipping and then check back later to see if it's been cleared - it's lovely when the neighbourhood is cleaner 🌲

River Wye at Builth Wells peaking at almost the same level as the record set in 2020.
Unsurprisingly there’s a lot of flooding.

Seems opportune time to share this thread I wrote just 3 weeks ago.
This weekend’s heavy rainfall is just a taste of what’s coming.
Atmospheric river events will become wetter and more frequent.
We know it yet we move from flood to flood hoping things will improve. They won’t.
Inevitably there’s considerable interest in what impacts a Valencia type of rainfall event would have on the UK.

Sadly, looks like more serious flooding at Tenbury.
Very rapid onset from Kyre Brook this morning.
These images at 09:30, 10:00, 11:00 & 11:30
And all just a month after the last flood.
