General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
I'm so happy with the Northumberland line (although I wish it extended further north). So yes, absolutely.
We need proper infrastructure. Rail, bike lanes, road improvements, energy grid improvements, more reservoirs. Everything that has been left to crumble.
It's ruinously expensive, and they government will (and is!) taking flak for spending, but it's even more expensive to do nothing.
Nothing will get any better as long as railroads and trains are in private hands. Re-nationalisation is the only way.
The railways are nationalised, have been for 20 years. The trains will remain privately owned.
Regardless of content - Boo to that title.
Please don't derail the thread.
Boo to your comment!
I think we're all getting a bit carriage away here
Agreed—I can’t see the points of this.
Will the trains be free?
Depends: will the trains run on time?
no, it'll be diesel or electricity
Will I have to sell my kidneys to afford the travel?
No, just one will do
