@alex I'm just reading Jo Walton's Among Others, where the protagonist travels across that line repeatedly.

btw I think you won the internet for this week.

@alex @q That or they’re upset that the TfW Cardiff–Chester rail service is diesel and are trying to power the entire route via Overhead Lightning Equipment.

@alex on a slightly different note. I notice the nation is labelled twice, but the towns aren't, Abertawe, Caerdydd, and possibly Caerloyw, shouldn't be beyond the error of cartographers, surely?

@epistatacadam i'm not sure! the map's from lightningmaps.org, which says it uses OpenStreetMap

@alex perhaps I'll try to amend it!

@epistatacadam @alex that's the open streetmap standard layer. It's not that OSM doesn't have the data:
name Cardiff
name:ar كارديف
name:ceb Cardiff
name:cy Caerdydd
name:el Κάρντιφ
name:en Cardiff
name:fa کاردیف
name:pl Cardiff
name:sv Cardiff
name:uk Кардіфф
name:ur کارڈف
name:zh 卡迪夫

It's how the data is used to render the map.

@alex moving Wales to halfway to Eire would make for some interesting new politics & logistics.
Narrower gaps could lead to Chunnel-style connections from eg Liverpool to North Wales, North Wales to Dublin?

@Gurre @alex There are a lot of Walshes in Eire. Closer relations would be interesting.

@fluffgar @alex in a move few saw coming in 2016, Cymru becomes a self-governing region of Eire. Which leads to more ppl in both NI & Scotland seeing joining Eire as a real and present and good option.
2025: The United Republics of the Celtic Isles is formed.
Which is then forced to reconsider its defense politics considerably given the new situation. NATO membership?
