It's been reported that the automated system had failed, so trains were being routed and instructed manually.

That way when it was formatted, you could take it upstairs and the weaker magnetic field meant the disk's magnetic structure was stronger so it could be read.
This also caused the early-days meme of computer geeks being "basement dwellers".
Unless there are pollutants involved, the wreck is generally a net positive for biodiversity and provides an attractive area for marine life.
The yeast could be used to brew alcohol, and the viscosity and strong smell could be used to hide drugs and misdirect sniffer dogs.
There's a limit: you can fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, but large/industrial-kitchen pans will exhaust the boiling water and you'll need to wait for the next batch.
It's fine for general household use.
Critical National Infrastructure should go further, as Iran found out with Stuxnet.

In general, diesel vehicles are more likely to exceed the emission threshold.
One of the key challenges is electricity distribution, with a number of key transmission bottlenecks: a notable one is Scotland/England, where Scotland renewables generate more power than necessary, but not all of it can be exported to England as their isn't enough capacity across that transmission section.
Transmission capacity growth is now the key priority for the grid, with policies and plans optimised to address the bottlenecks in distribution.
Although you could pipe cool water through the radiators, it's an ineffective form of cooling compared to blown-air systems, and retro-fitting a blown-air system is much more costly than a heating-only heat pump.
Climate change and oil use have generated predominantly non-violent protests.
Palestinian rights have generated direct action protests but not riots.
Energy hasn't really been on the radar (except in the context of climate-change protests).
I only started using them last week and have already deployed them across half my home-lab (replacing full-fat VMs and docker containers).
The tooling's not at the same level as Docker, but the efficiency makes up for the initial hassle.
The "questionable" piece is ripping the DVD to a home media library to play via Jellyfin. Which might be fair use in some countries.
It's likely that most of those accommodations would be a requirement for the UK to rejoin the EU.
The chalk bedrock in Reading isn't generally susceptible to radon.

It'll start out at £300k (to market it attractively) and end up selling for £500k+.
If you're outside the water, the density difference between air and water acts to diffuse the shockwave.
Water is a really good absorbent of explosive energy (as long as you're not also in the same water).
If 15m of water can't contain the blast, adding concrete or similar is more likely to add solid projectiles to the explosion than diminish the force of the blast.
