GET ORGANISED FOR GRADUATION. TAKE A STAND NOW. 🎓
All of us at Edinburgh have a duty to Palestine - we are not saviours, but perpetrators of war crimes and genocide. It is our tuition fees that fund the israeli war machine, and as students, we have the responsibility to say NO.

To be clear: the only option @ScotRail have now is to remove the 'Iona' voice from their trains.
Pay a human voice actor to provide a thorough library of announcements, instead.

Our treasurer was bored and decided to imagine a fictional rail operator. What if after privatisation, the Scottish network had been broken up into different TOCs? Introducing "Highland Railways", who operated rural routes from 1997 until 2004 with a fleet of Class 156s and 158s.

The font here is Seaford, which was commissioned for Word in 2021 and therefore about 22 years too 'young'.
