mastodon 4.5.7

From Dublin, Ireland
Living in Málaga, Spain

I joined the Fediverse originally because I was curious about the #openstreetmap instance, then found lots of interesting things about my other interests such as #photography, #hiking, and travelling by #train.

All these interests are also reflected in my photos on Flickr and Pixelfed.

I had a personal website/blog way back in the 00s, and will definitely certainly 100% get around to reviving it some day soon. Soonish.

Renfe's new tool for visualising the real-time position of long and medium distance trains is grimly fascinating.

It's 10.30 a.m. and in the area of this map covering Algeciras, Málaga, Granada, and Almería - an area with well over 3 million inhabitants - only 5 trains are in motion (and only 1 of those is on time).

The tool doesn't display substitute bus services - there are probably a few on the road north of Málaga, which is still cut off from the high speed network.

Renfe has seen the future, and it's buses. Lots of them. A whole new subsidiary dedicated to providing bus transport to people who really wanted to be on a train.

Photo taken a few minutes ago at Málaga María Zambrano station. Normally I would be pleased to get such a variety of trains into a single photo. But not today. Malaga remains cut off from the rest of the Spanish high-speed network by a landslide near Álora, with no immediate prospect of a restored service. So of all these trains, only the diesel railcar furthest from the camera can go anywhere. For the rest, the station is just a place to park. /ctd #trains #TrainTravel
