   • 2024 September 4, Vitali Vitaliev, “A salute to Ukraine's 'Second Army'”, in RAIL, number 1017, page 47:

     Kramatorsk is a smoky industrial city in Donbass, and a major railway junction. According to Google Travel, I can now reach Kramatorsk by rail from Hertfordshire (where I live) in just... 56 hours and 35 minutes. That highly hypothetical trip would entail 11 train changes. The important thing, however, is that the long-suffering city is again reachable by rail.

   • 2025 June 26, David G. Allan, “Once ‘the world’s egg basket,’ this Gold Rush-era boomtown still delivers culinary riches”, in CNN‎^[1], archived from the original on 24 July 2025:

     Petaluma is also well-positioned as a base for the current riches of the region. Think of this town as the hub of a pioneer’s wagon wheel, spokes stretching out in all directions to day trip points of interest. West to Point Reyes National Seashore and Bodega Bay, north to the redwoods around Guerneville, east to wine country, and south for hiking on Mount Tamalpais or the houseboats and dockside fun of Sausalito, then just over Golden Gate bridge to the big city — all reachable within an hour, traffic-willing.
