Onboard the Welsh Tri-Mode Class 756s

Transport of Wales Class 756 Welcome back, folks. Today, we're taking a look at Transport for Wales's new Class 756 trains. First introduced into service in late 2024, these trains have been offering a much more modern experience compared with their predecessors, the Class 150s, on the Valley Lines as part of the South Wales Metro scheme. In this post, we'll take a journey on one of these trains to find out whether they really are as good as advertised. 756007 takes us to Caerphilly You're now joining me at Cardiff Queen Street station on a cloudy Welsh morning, where we'll be taking a Class 756 up the Rhymney Line as far as Caerphilly, where our train terminates. There are 24 Class 756s in total: seven three-car units (756/0) and 17 four-car units (756/1). Our chariot today is the three-car /0 variant, 756007, which has travelled all the way from Penarth.

I Love You, I'm Sorry

I love you, even if you don't love me back. 我愛 妳 ， 即使 妳 不愛我。 I adore you, with mist covering your rough edges. 我仰慕妳 ， 薄霧遮蔽了你粗糙的稜角。 I ache for you, with the rain washing away the scars on your face. 我為妳心痛， 雨水沖刷着 妳 臉上的傷痕。 When the moon shines again, I'll be with you under the glowing signs, watching the stars go by. 當月光再次照亮大地， 我將與 妳 相伴， 在閃爍的霓虹燈下， 靜看繁星流轉。 No matter where I go, I'll always find my way back to you. 無論我身處何方， 我定會找到回到 妳 身邊的路。 I love you, I'm sorry. 我愛 妳 ， 對不起。

Thank You, Tucker

Tucker Budzyn (source: https://www.instagram.com/tuckerbudzyn) I woke up this morning to Courtney’s (Tucker’s owner) video on my feed announcing that Tucker passed away a few days ago due to further complications from cancer. While this brings me indescribable pain and sadness, I want to take a moment to share how much joy Tucker brought into my life, and I assume into yours too. His videos were always a reliable source of happiness and comfort, no matter what kind of day I was having. He was the internet’s most beloved dog for a reason. Especially for me, someone who doesn’t deliberately look for cute animal videos, would still find myself heading back to Tucker’s channel from time to time, watching him do taste tests with Journey or Todd, or just running around in the grass.  Tucker also inspired me in a quieter way. Watching how easily he could make people smile, just by being himself, made me want to try and bring a little more joy and happiness into the lives of the people aro...

Onboard the SL4: The Superloop Detached from the Loop

Go Ahead Blue Triangle BYD BD11 at Canary Wharf Welcome back ladies and gents. In this post, you're joining me at Canary Wharf, London’s gleaming financial district, where skyscrapers tower over the Thames and people smelling like bank notes. This bustling hub isn’t just the heart of global finance (or the symbol of capitalism), it’s also the starting point for the SL4, one of the newest routes in London's Superloop bus network. Superloop Map, 2026 (Source: https://tfl.gov.uk/cdn/static/cms/images/superloop-map-large-all-routes.png) Introduced by TfL (Transport for London) in 2023, the Superloop is a network of limited-stop express bus routes expected to make travelling around outer London faster and easier. Rather than having passengers travel through central London, the network links major town centres, transport hubs, hospitals and shopping areas with fewer stops than regular bus routes. While some services were created specifically for the Superloop, others were existing ex...
