@davidgerard @cstross For a little more context, here's the pound against the dollar since 1800, showing periods of stability, the point where the £ peaked in the 1860s (£1=$8, when the UK's half-crown got its nickname of 'dollar'), and its steady decline since WWII. Move along, nothing to see here.

take it from the guy running Ukraine’s railways in the war: electrification is the best way to reduce emissions and increase train frequencies/speed, particularly for commuter rail and high priority intercity Amtrak corridors

Try electrification, @Amtrak. It will reduce exhausts behind your train. We in @Ukrzaliznytsia done 122km of new electrification for the last year. It works. https://t.co/VBUGuDcst8

For reference, Caltrain's electrification project is 82 kilometers and is going to end up taking 7 years (if it's not delayed again)
