There’s a real variety of trams that they use on that line, some nice to ride than others. But if you can get down there outside the school holidays then absolutely get a chance. Pecorama is also just a short drive, bus, or very pretty walk over the cliffs in the next village, they have small steam trains that you can ride on too!
Yes, this photo is taken in the wetlands before it crosses the Colyford road. Source: I have ridden this tram route more times than I would like to admit
Absolutely love organic maps for cycling! It recommendeds sensible routes that are much safer. The only feature I miss (and I know organic maps strives for 100% feature completeness even offline so this would be unlikely to be added) is navigation using public transit in the UK. The national rail app is painfully slow and isn’t easy to just search a location and just go, but it does work. Every bus company has their own app too… I haven’t found a good replacement yet unfortunately :/
Press button to talk to train drive. Penalty fine for improper use.
Best present I got for my husband when he started T was a safety razor. For softer skin that hasn’t been shaved beforeor isn’t used to it yet, safety razors, straight razors, and shavettes are so gentle and can definitely help if you get razor burn :)
Oh… that’s the same person (in the image at least) who said “Yeah AI is going to take those creative jobs, but those jobs maybe shouldn’t have existed in the first place”.
Silk pillow cases are really useful to people with curly and coilled hair! Cotton pillow cases makes that kind of hair super frizzy, but a silk case can be softer on the hair meaning your curls are still intact in the morning :) Often people will use a silk wrap or hear wear instead of a silk pillow as they can ve cheaper and keep your hair more secure. It’s personal preference but can really help reduce frizz! Hope that helps
Edit: bloody spelling
When I was a kid there was a cartoon that featured one of these in an episode. I think it was from a transformers cartoon? I have spent ages trying to find it and have never been able to
Did you also make that matrix server that was posted on 196 a while ago?
First mistake, going to Exeter. /jk
Honestly the cost of rail travel in South Devon is eye watering. Went for a few days trip and had to rapidly rethink my budget after the first train
Thanks for the link :)
I had heard of battery busses but never battery trams… It feels so weird to do, if you’re already committing to a rail system, is a third rail or over head cabling that much more of an investment? That tram has a battery that’ll need replacing at some point and I am really curious when the cost of replacing batteries will over take cost of a third rail/pantograph system.
This is genuine curiousity, not me just ragging on battery tech
Is that… a battery tram?
If I had a nickle for every house of leaves memes I had seen on 196, I would have two nickles. Which isn’t a lot but it is weird that it happened twice…
Time to crack out the ol’ microfische reels again for the photos.
I seem to remember an article about long term storage using quartz crystals from a few years ago, but I could be misremembering that
Hey, do you know what platform are they on?
