Here's BART: https://www.traintrackr.co.uk/product/bart3

Could you provide a reference about the train disruption? I tried but couldn't find anything in English.

Here is an article in English:

https://nltimes.nl/2025/10/29/ns-hit-microsoft-cloud-outage-...

It should be noted that the article isn't complete: while the travel planner and ticket machines were the first to fail, trains were cancelled soon after; it took a few hours before everything restarted.

Based on what the conductors said, I would speculate that the train drivers digital schedule was not operative, so they didn't know where to go next.

Thanks! Perhaps one of the sites that track train delays can give a statistic?

This list doesn't have anything that looks relevant: https://www.rijdendetreinen.nl/en/disruptions/archive?date_b...

The day does not appear as an outlier in the monthly statistics: https://www.rijdendetreinen.nl/en/statistics/2025/10

I don't find a detailed statistic on the overall delays, but the per-station statistics for Amsterdam Centraal say 5% of trains were cancelled and 17% were delayed by 5 minutes or more (mostly by 10 minutes): https://www.rijdendetreinen.nl/en/train-archive/2025-10-29/a...

Considering that it's an open source tool, I don't know if it's that bad to be shilling for the commons, basically.

> Since when? What have they been replaced with?

The Helsingborg-Helsingør train ferry was replaced (car ferries remain) by railway on the Öresund Bridge (from the 2011 TV series The Bridge) between the big cities Malmö, Sweden and Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98resund_Bridge

The Puttgarden-Rødby train ferry was replaced by a new longer but faster railway route via the Great Belt Bridge and Flensburg until the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link is ready. https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/hamburg-to-copenhag...

I think some consider the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link to consist of multiple parts, as the main tunnel (Fehmarn Belt Tunnel proper) is between a German island and a Danish island so stops a bit short. On the Danish side, they rebuild the Storstrøm Bridge, and on the German side they decided to build another tunnel alongside the existing Fehmarn Sound Bridge. So in total, one existing bridge, one rebuilt bridge, one short new tunnel and one long new tunnel will connect Germany proper to Denmark proper.

E-bikes etc. are very popular. The long shifts are probably quite tiring otherwise.

Small delivery robots are in several (walkable) cities since a few years now. Starship was the first brand (they say in 270 cities, campuses etc.): https://www.starship.xyz/

(City center properties don't have drone drop/landing areas.)

(The couriers here use e-bikes and similar light vehicles as they can navigate quicker in the traffic.)

I think e.g. Mastodon with IndieWeb is a way to fight against the enshittification and to bring back the good from the early years. "The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”. We are a community of independent and personal websites based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content." https://indieweb.org/

The first anomaly was detected by the Finnish defence forces in Kajaani already the previous day, Sunday evening at 8:40pm local time, but they didn't understand the small deviation was very important and probably suspected it was a minor error in the measurements. Only on Monday at 10am the Nuclear Safety Authority started to investigate properly and published information at 4pm - not early enough to let Forsmark know they wouldn't have needed to evacuate the plant as a precaution.

Nobody claims they all speak Finnish well, but the Swedish spoken in Finland is influenced by Finnish and typically includes some loans from Finnish.

The person I was answering to literally claims people are bilingual (Swedish + Finnish).

Being bilingual is a fuzzy concept: to many, it includes people who speak a language less well, but perhaps enough to get by.

For example, in a bilingual environment, it can be enough to understand two languages and to speak one.

I have never heard someone say "I am bilingual" when what they meant is "I studied another language in school and can somehow understand a few sentences". To me, and I believe, to most people, being bilingual means speaking two languages fluently.

Personally, I'd only call native-level speakers bilingual, but this has caused misunderstandings.
