  • I can’t tell where the plot is headed, but it’s a very nice-looking pilot. The characters remind me of me and my friends when we were in school, a bit weird, edgy, but also trying (and failing) to somehow fit in. It also looks like they met their kickstarter goal for episode 2, so now I’ve got something to look forward to :3








  • That’s a tram with a unique history! It’s works car 02 of Seaton Tramway in England. I found this video on YouTube that has a ton of photos and a few videos of this tram, and snippets of its history. It was ordered by the Air Ministry in 1952, but they didn’t want it after all, so it became a regular service tram. In 1968, it got its first major overhaul to make it compatible with a different track gauge. It also got a platform for workers to work on overhead lines, I assume. After getting blown over by strong winds in 1980, it was turned into an unpowered wagon and got a new paint job (it was red and yellow before, then it got a blue-ish grey colour). 02 was rebuilt into a powered car again in 1993. The result of this rebuild is the photo in the OP: they added a yellow line (very stylish, but I don’t know what its purpose is), a new platform, and a guardrail (hard to believe they didn’t have one before!). From what I can tell, it’s still operational and in regular use.

    The years might be off a bit, though. According to tram.co.uk, the rebuild was in 1992, not 1993. I also found a lot more photos of 02 on britishtramsonline.co.uk (CTRL+F “02”). It’s a very cute tram!
