The tube stations /funny names is basicaly a repeat of endless similar articles and is from February so hardly news.
Of more interest to UK readers on the Stockholm link is the report about Luton Airport getting permission to run driverless trains to/from Luton Parkway.
And the 13 most delayed trains link offers no reporting on why the trains were delayed which surely is an important factor as is the length of the delay which is not specified. . And the article is basically a link to link to an online casino – NOT the sort of thing I expect from LR! Do you not check these things out??
Please improve your quality control over what you publish.
BrightonReader ( “BR”? Perhaps not? )
The most-delayed services are unsurprising & as you say, very irritating in that specific causes are not discussed.
As for Brazilian Airships, shouldn’t they apply to Cardington/Airlander for that?
{ Which is certainly inside the old Network SE area, so qualifies (!)
Minor point, but can you have these links directed to a new browser tab…?
