Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.YOUR report on the growing idiocies of incomplete rail timetable information (''Trains vanish from the timetables'', 13 November) told a depressing but increasingly familiar tale.
A crowning absurdity is the situation at London Paddington, where there are no suburban timetable posters on the main concourse. This is because it is controlled by InterCity and the suburban trains are run by Thames Line, so only InterCity service posters are on display. Meanwhile, if Graham Bashford of North London Railways is so keen to promote his own services, why are his trains still running round displaying chronically out-of-date maps, which include several lines and stations long since closed and which omit his company's new Willesden-Clapham Junction route altogether?
