@beecycling Someone I know, who will remain nameless unless they choose to reveal themselves, had programmed their Postscript printer to print the yellow dot pattern specific to Euro banknotes on all their correspondence with the authorities.

I think AI has corrupted Apple Maps! Can’t find a Caribbean grocery - keeps showing me the Caribbean Sea! Try to search for somewhere that has Scotch Bonnet Chilis and I get every pub in the region called “The Robin Hood”!

@Uilebheist I have packed the travel espresso maker and am tempted to get it out.

@cstross @quixoticgeek They abolished the paper counterpart. That’s online and has been for ages.

Beer challenge 2025: pubs, especially craft beer bars - please declare allergens on your menu.

Yours, someone with stomach cramps from undeclared lactose in a beer (but determined to carry on and try and dilute it)

There is a huge gap in the trains in the other direction. Which will be my direction soon enough.

Hammerstein is not an industrial band, but a mostly residential area with houses from Fachwerk to not-yet-finished.

Sonnborner Straße station building is pretty much identical to Hammerstein. The houses are older, and there’s diverse retail at ground level.

Zoo/Stadion is where you get off if you want to see the mighty S.V. Wuppertal. It’s also where the line curves to go over the river instead of the street, and where the railway crosses over.

The other exciting thing here is trolley buses. I haven’t got a decent photo though. So let’s go to the next station.Vohwinkel - tick!

We start in the section over the road. Bruch has some lovely Art Nouveau houses and a couple of supermarkets.

Köln Hauptbahnhof is quite pretty at too-damn-early o’clock.

Quietly thinking about the amazing mobility trains have given us.

“Nächste Station Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof” :-)

It’s a lovely day for riding monorails, but I’m hungry, so I will pause briefly in Backwerk.

Right, monorail time.

There is a delay!

The Schwebebahn runs every 3 minutes, so no need to go back and forth repeatedly if I want to visit all 20 stations. So first, let’s go to one end of the line, Vohwinkel.

Vohwinkel has a couple of things of interest. A park close to the station has some bits and bobs of Schwebebahn on display.

Where’s Feòrag?

Wuppertal! I’ll fill this in with more pictures later.
