So I have to go by public transport. And since bus and railway aren't having well aligned schedules I have to get up a 4.20am, take the bus to the train station at 5.13am, take the train to the location of my vocational school at 6.08am, be at the school at 7.20am and school starts at 8.15am.

If I would take a bus and train one hour later I would be 5 to 10 minutes late.

Luckily I have to do this odyssey just every 3 weeks.

Unfortunate, but much better than America, I'd say.

Don't got a car?

It's in kinda bad shape. Readiness is down across the board pretty much and the Challenger II isn't an exceptional MBT since the cannon can't throw very good APFSDS rounds and their last batch expired technically back in 2015.

Of course, they're also replacing tanks with IFVs so...

I don't think there will be. May tried to bypass Parliament by invoking Article 50 using the royal prerogative. If she doesn't respect Parliament, she sure as hell doesn't respect the average Joe voting in referendums.

I prefer to refrain from speculation. The political climate is changing too fast at the moment in the UK

Update (1/18/2017)

Construction is well underway on M.O.B Pegasus east of Kirk Ronan on Sodor. Should be finished and occupied by Mid-Feburary.

The Scandinavian Privateer threat has finally been dealt with. Red Army soldiers raised the crimson banner over the main headquarters earlier this morning.

Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend the wedding. Politics have hit a precarious point, and I am needed in-country to oversee some tense deals.

..... Not much else at this point. Been busy, so lack of activity on my part.

Chaos in Germany:

Windstorm 'Friederike' rages over Germany. All trains stopped. Most flights cancelled. Parts of the Autobahns and roads closed due to accidents or blockages. Wind with speeds of 130kph/ 80mph/ 70kn. Authorities recommend that those who don't need to leave their home should stay at home. Lorries, busses and vehicles with trailers are recommended to pull over and wait for the storm petering out.
