Back when we thought we were a singlet, someone once commented on our chatfic saying the dialogue and flow felt so natural and real, and we were flattered because we were (and still are) friendless and had never really been active in a group chat, and the few times we were in a group chat at all we didn't stay long

Anyways thats really funny now as a system, on the rare occasion where we remember we have multiple methods for texting each other

That flow looks familiar

So how exactly are Britain's railways run?

Ever since British Rail was privatized (considered by many to be amongst the worst decisions ever by the British government) the railways in Britain have become a confusing mess of different companies and organizations with different, often overlapping responsibilities. We now present a simplified explanation of the structure of Britain's railroads since privatization, with some information on how things may change now the railroads are set to be renationalized.

Looking at the above picture, what do you think seems like a reasonable way to delegate the various parts of running a railroad?

Well, according to the European Union, it is into an infrastructure organization responsible for tracks, signals, and so forth; and train operator(s), responsible for running train services. You may have different ideas on how best to do this, but this method seems fairly reasonable and not too complicated, right? Now, British Rail was privatized when we were still in the EU, and it was several years after Brexit when it was decided to renationalize the railroads under Great British Railways. Bearing this in mind, here is how the british railroads worked from privatization, and how they're probably going to work after renationalization.

TRAIN SERVICES: Train services are provided by the train operating companies (TOC's). There are several types of train operating companies, all run differently. Also, we're only talking about normal passenger operations, not heritage routes or freight because those work differently.

Franchised operators: different companies (often other countries' state-owned railroads) bid to run groups of services (franchises), with the franchise given to whichever one says they'll make the most money or need the least subsidies. The companies then have to do that, and if they don't make as much money as they agreed they would, they get replaced. Except this system broke during the pandemic, since it was pretty obvious no train operator was going to make enough money, and every operator's contract was just extended indefinitely. In the above picture, the operator is Govia Thameslink Railway, although they use different branding for their routes, and so this operator is Southern.

Operators of last resort: a private TOC broke its contract or otherwise messed up badly enough that the government stepped in and renationalized that service (as a last resort, of course). These services are run by either the Department for Transport or by the Scottish or Welsh government. There's quite a lot of them, since it turns out the companies bidding for franchises often had extremely unrealistic ideas of how much money they'd make, and were also quite bad at running services. Southern, despite being among the worst-ranked TOC's for passenger satisfaction, has been operated by the same company since 2001.

Open-access operators: a private company thinks it can make some money running trains, so they lease some trains, pay for track access, and then do that.

Under Great British Railways, once all of the private companies' contracts expire, they'll be run by the government as a part of GBR. The operators of last resort will continue to be owned by the government, and the open-access operators will be left alone.

TRAINS: The trains themselves are not owned by the TOC's, they are owned by the Rolling Stock Operating Companies (or ROSCO's), which then lease them out to the TOC's. In the above photo is a Class 377 leased by Southern and owned by Porterbrook. One issue here is that the open-access operators are competing with the other TOC's for use of the trains, which causes problems with the availability of rolling stock. The ROSCOs don't really add anything to the railways, and as far as we know there are no plans to renationalize them.

INFRASTRUCTURE: The right-of-way, tracks, signals, bridges, tunnels, and so on, are owned, upgraded, and maintained by Network Rail (although sometimes these are contracted out). We're a government body (exactly what sort we aren't sure) and aren't expected to make money. This wasn't always the case, since initially a private company (Railtrack) did everything we do, but they did such a terrible job that they caused several fatal derailments, and were renationalized to be replaced by us. Once GBR is established, we're going to be merged into it (the EU can't stop us anymore, we can have the trains and tracks run by the same organization! that's what brexit was for, right?)

STATIONS: All stations in the country are owned by Network Rail. However, we don't actually manage most of them, and instead one of the TOC's does (usually one that services that station, but not always). We do manage the biggest stations, such as the various London terminals and Birmingham New Street. As mentioned before, that'll become GBR's job once it exists.

There, now you should understand how Britain's railways work (until renationalization anyway). Except for freight services. And TfL's network. And the various other metro, light rail, and tram services around the country. But that's good enough. Now use your knowledge to know who to blame when your train is delayed (hint: it's never Network Rail. Unrelated, whoever's responsible for delays has to pay the passengers compensation.)

Description: An eye-opening and intimate memoir about life as an international humanitarian aid worker in the field in Rwanda, Sudan, Sierra Leone, and Haiti. Jessica Alexander arrived in Rwanda in the aftermath of the genocide as an idealist intern, excited to be a part of the international humanitarian aid community. But the world that she encountered in the field was dramatically different than anything she could have imagined. In this honest and irreverent memoir, she introduces readers to the reality of the life of an aid worker. We watch as she helps to resettle refugees in Rwanda, manages a 24,000-person camp in Darfur, and helps a former child soldier in Sierra Leone get rid of a tattoo that was carved into his skin by a rebel group. But we also see the alcoholic parties and fleeting romances, the burnouts and cyncism, the plans and priorities that constantly shift and change. Tracing her personal journey from idealistic and naïve newcomer to hardened cynic to hopeful but critical realist, Alexander transports readers to some of the most troubled locations and shows us not only the impossible challenges, but also the moments of hope and recovery. Review: It was a pretty decent book that gave the reader some insight into the situations in Darfur, Haiti, and Sierra Leone from the perspective of a humanitarian aid worker. You'll understand why the help offered is rarely helpful at all, and good intentions is really a double edged sword. There's some good, a lot of bad, a lot of stress, confusion, and a system rigged to fail for the most part. But there's also the human element, and the people that are affected at every level make this a story worth reading.

🙤 10 Things about me 🙧

Rules: Share 10 facts about yourself and tag 10 other blogs! I want to get to know my mutuals, and the people I follow a little bit :) The facts can be about anything!

Tagged by @greypetrel here and @demandthedoodles for the personal blog (I tried to think of 20 things and do ten each but gbr I blanked on more than what i wrote. so i'm splitting the difference and putting fifteen things on one blog haha). Thank you both for the tag!

Tagging: @gaysebastianvael @star--nymph @jtownnn @scribbledquillz @heniareth @cullenvhenan @ndostairlyrium @palipunk @zenstrike (and @ you, especially if I forgot anyone! No pressure, as always)

I used to know how to play the French Horn, but now I only know how to play the French Horn badly

Technically graduated college before high school (by about a week)

I was briefly stuck in a peat bog in Ireland

Grew up in the countryside and might, if pressed, still be able to rope an immobile target 

My love language is making people food (especially baked goods)

I cannot dance (Like at all. Rhythmic swaying is the best it gets) but I am a decent singer 

There were brief concerns that I might have some kind of heart condition (it was anxiety lol) so I have watched my heart beat in real time via echocardiogram

I still have the first seven lines of the Aeneid memorized (along with everything else I had to recite for Latin) 

I got married ~two days before my state shut down over Covid

I have a lot of texture and sound Things, but imo the texture and sound of unglazed pottery is the single individual Worst Thing in Existence

When I was a kid, my dad was really really into model trains. I had a special hat with “conductor” on it and I used to spend hours with him decorating the train table, cleaning the tracks, and listening to/singing train-themed music from the jazz age. 

I loooove bees and bee-themed things and honey. I have six different sorts of honey in my cabinet right now (but my favorite is walnut honey, which is very dark and molasses-like)

I once rappelled down the side of a castle

I watched The Last Unicorn and Clue like a million times each as a kid and they have irrevocably shaped who I am as a person

I’ve been obsessed with running games for other people since I was little. I used to write treasure hunts for my cousins whenever we saw each other and murder mystery dinner parties when I got older and I’ve been DMing a D&D group for…geez almost seven years now.

With the racing schedule condensed after yesterday’s postponements, it was another difficult day for the Race Committee at the Puig Women’s America’s Cup who had to remain patient as light airs thwarted their efforts to complete the Group A America’s Cup Teams Qualification Series.

After waiting all day, having initially sent the Group A teams out for a 1000 CET start, finally – just after 1630 CET – enough breeze was found to complete a single late afternoon do-or-die race – completing 5 of their 8 races – to decide the Group A Qualification Series.

This was followed quickly after by an evening series of four quick-fire races between the top three crews from Groups A and B (the Invited Teams) to decide the inaugural event’s Semi-Final stage, where Britain’s Athena Pathway and Italy’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Women’s Team finished on top, tied on 27 points.

These two crews move on to compete head-to-head in the Puig Women’s America’s Cup Match Race Final, which has been scheduled for tomorrow – Saturday October 12 – in between the opening two races of the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup Match.
