Using the national rail journey planner you can query a webpage to see what trains are going through the station soon (in any direction).
My shortcut gets this web page, finds the relevant bit of text and uses distance and time to calculate if there’s time to go and see the train. If not, it’ll tell you the time of the next train.
You’ll have to edit your local station, and possibly walking directions as we’re just a ten minute walk from ours.
Hope fellow parents with train obsessed children find some use out of this!
Let me know if you found it useful or if you could suggest improvements.
Personally, I’d love to know how to find the nearest train station, and incorporate that into this shortcut.
EDIT: updated link. V3. Added some fallbacks in case of delays.
Thanks for all your comments and feedback so far :-)
After a combined pandemic/health issues/imminent book draft deadline, a new episode of Revolutions has dropped. It’s a recap of the previous 39 episodes of the Russian Revolution, and sets the stage for the 1917 Revolutions.
I am looking to find some podcasts that make me think. Think about life, social constructs, how people communicate and why we do what we do. Topics like: reasons we stay in relationships we aren’t happy in, to why we yawn when someone else does, to the theories behind how we communicate.
Any suggestions are appreciated ✌️
I’m looking to discover really really good podcasts!
​
**WOW my first post that blew up!!**
Think the watermark on the card stock in The Office, but in reality.
Surely there are podcasts that have discussed Kramer’s outburst in the early 2000’s, the CEO of LifeLock displaying his social security number on the sides of trucks, etc.
Can somebody share something like that?
im sure many of you have heard of the callmecarson scandal that has shaken the internet today
the lunch club podcast has officially stopped and it was my saviour - i listened to it when longboarding, gaming and before going to bed
it life more tolerable and sometimes even pushed me to be happy for brief periods of time
does anyone have any recommendations for similar poscasts or podcasts that are funny to genz humour?
i am 15 and i also radiolab
Pretty much the title. I have an operation coming up and I want to check out of reality :)
Edit: phew this blew up, people! Thanks so much for all your wonderful recommendations and well wishes! I am working my way through the replies.
I basically want to accomplish these two goals.
I want to better understand my own brain and how I work.
I want my significant other to get a better understanding of what ADHD is so we can have better communication, understanding, and accountability.
I’ve always been very anxious and scared of dying or my family dying to the point where it keeps me up every night. Id really like a story or a philosophical book that sees death as a continuation of life or as something positive. It can also just be about the afterlife in general. I really need some comfort lol
Edit: I just want to say thank you for all the kind words and book suggestions that I have received. Its nice to see that I’m not alone in feeling this and its very uplifting to find a community that is so considerate and helpful :)
I like it when the main character/s just spend time talking or are occupied by basic things in their life and just don’t try to solve the big mystery for one second.
E.g. like in Harry Potter where you can also see lots of normal students or Harry doing HW and just going to classes.
They feel like little breathers and can make the story really rich.
I hope I am making some sense.
Hi all!! I’m looking for a book that has a main character that pretty much has no interest in the events taking place around them?
Perhaps they have a personal goal in mind and the actual plot points of the book are just obstacles in the main character’s perspective?
I really hope this exists, i feel like it could be really funny or even really dark and emotional depending on the story. Thanks all and i hope you’re having a good new year so far :)
I really want to read some historical fiction about feuds between rival Native American tribes before Columbus discovered America
