#CrossChannelRail : Day 2, #Lille - #London - #York - #Harrogate

Thanks to #eurostar delay, no waiting in #KingsCross. Could check platform from #nationalRail live board, had QR code ready, the only thing was to jump above Mr FirstOut who had built a wall of suitcases at carriage door - then remember, twice to the right in #StPancras.

#LNER #London #Edinburgh :
💺 have reservation at front of train, I stopped midway.
🔌 that's alternating current 😵‍💫
🛜 🆗ish
🧽 👏
🧳🆗

#CrossChannelRail : Day 2, #Lille - #London - #York - #Harrogate

Waiting in #LilleEurope :

💺 🆗 today
🔌 🆗
🛜 🆗

#Eurostar :
🛜 Good in France, none in tunnel, poor in the UK
🧽🧳🔌 🆗
⏲️ 20 min delay "due to operational issues" in #Rotterdam

I have a 30-min connection between #StPancras and #KingsCross, could still work… Staff announced delay and went thru carriage, I could get a Railteam delay certificate (not sure it's valid for my #LNER train, but worked last time)

NatWest cash machine at King’s Cross station concourse has a skimmer on it, the machine has a phone number to ‘report suspicious activity’. So I call it.

Automated service which fails to work out what I’m on about, then won’t let me past without my NatWest bank account number, which I don’t have because I’m not a NatWest customer.

Station security disinterested.

Anyway, it’s on the rightmost one at 4pm on Sun 16 Jul if anyone gives a flying fuck.

Another outstanding episode from the brilliant storyteller @TimHarford

CW though for mentions of #Fire, some truly horrifying moments forensically examined from #KingsCross, for those of us old enough to remember it.

Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford: The Final Illusion of the Great Lafayette

omny.fmThe Final Illusion of the Great Lafayette - Cautionary Tales with Tim HarfordGolden sparks are raining down on the Great Lafayette’s famous vaudeville show, “The Lion’s Bride”. They look like they’re part of the performance. They aren’t — and soon the theater is ablaze. The manager has to figure out how to save the 3000 audience members, now trapped in a burning building. Thirty-five years earlier, the Brooklyn Theatre had gone up in flames too. The terrified spectators became a frantic, trampling mass, and hundreds perished in the flames and smoke. Panic in an emergency can kill. But keeping calm can also be lethal.
