Well done. Glad you got more readers for a tree rather than Crossrail/Elizabeth Line.

Well done. Geoff Marshall linked a few of your Crossrail posts on Twitter which will may have boosted the numbers a bit.

I'm not sure what brought me here now, all those years ago.
It was probably due to excitement over returning to live in London and finding lots of random, quirky posts about it gathered in one place!

Honestly; "obscure London suburbs, badly designed infrastructure and trips to the seaside" is exactly why I'm still following this blog - I forget why I parachuted in originally but it wasn't the Rochdale entries, I'd been here a while already by then (although those did delight me).

For what it's worth, I've really enjoyed this month.

Well done, let me know where to send it and I'll send you a fiver now and again.

One good thing about no financial recompense is that they'll be no pressure to 'repeat your success', you can see it as a combination of an exceptional news month and random chance.
But it brings to mind a variation on what a famous golfer once said 'the bigger the archive, the luckier I get'.

Whilst it is nice to come across something done entirely as a labour of love, I think you do actually deserve to make something from your efforts. I read your blog regularly and pretty much all your content is interesting and obviously well researched (unlike a lot of the paid-for internet).
For example, my brother used to work in software development, he wrote a crossword solving app for mobiles about 6 years ago, and he hasn't worked since - the tiny amount of advertising pays his mortgage and outgoings, and all he has to do is occasionally tweak it when Apple update their software (I'm in no way jealous of this situation, he lied...)

Looking at that American site, some of the comments rather irreverential:
"Riding a train is not reaching by walk. You insensitive liar!"
I'm glad to be this side of the pond.

One Weird Trick from Liverpool Street to Farringdon but a daily dose of discerning delight. For which, thanks.

I'm glad that you don't do the reader surveys any more, as as the years go by I simply can't recall when I first came here (why was probably a transport related post).
However, you do have a 20 year history of posts therefore, from September 8th, I will go back and read a week's worth each weekend until déjà vu strikes.

...and today, Wednesday, I've tweeted my most successful tweet of all time.
Half a million impressions and still climbing.
I'm on a roll (or else I've learned how clickbait works).

A very well deserved readership, even if the Farringdon post was a rare swiz, and today's tweet headline somewhat clickbatish
