Hourglass


I am a HUGE fan of MLP and Equestria Girls (I have seen every episode). I am glad to be able to share my creations with you all.

Principal Celestia has sent out an email to some students telling them that a summer trip to London has been planned, and the students are all excited. Twilight and Sunset Shimmer invite the rest of the Mane 7 to come along. Flash Sentry, Micro Chips, and Sandalwood are signing up as well. Snips and Snails are coming. And others are coming too. What awaits them is a two week stay in London filled with R&R, taking in top attractions, seeing all of London, going to a football (soccer) game at Wembly Stadium, standing on the Prime Meridian, and riding on the London Underground as well as other public transit.

Looks interesting. I'll give it a read.

Better watch out for acid attacks and incompetent police.

Watch out for chavs, terrorist, refugees and btw,
GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN!!!

It would be funny if Rainbow somehow saw a familiar blue E2 0-6-0 Tank engine numbered 1 with a face pulling freight cars with faces too.

Anyone else like this story? BTW, Has anyone ever been to London in person by chance? I wrote this purely by what I saw on the internet and in a tourist guidebook.

Is the the Prime Meridian a real place?

Yes it is. Located right outside of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, it is where the entire world is mapped from and where all of the World's time zones come from.

I think the writer confused American football with Soccer

The goalkeepers would have to be colossally useless to let the score end 59-46. Even a concussed Loris Karius wouldn't be THIS terrible

Even on FIFA with ridiculously easy AI setting, I doubt the scoreline would be 59-46 in 90 minutes

30 bucks? Wow! Principle Celestia sure covering almost literally the cost, yea?

I mean...oh gawd

Sunset doesn't have telekinesis, duh...

(We will be changing our American money for British money when we get their)

Wrong 'their'. you need to use 'there' in this context.

Skip past the part where I'm yelling at the screen due to this mistake

I'm guessing the Leader of the Opposition is Jeremy Corbyn.

Outside the two groups split up. Luna's group walked up the street towards the curved glass roof of Waterloo Train Station while Celestia's group crossed the street to a bus station to wait for a double decker to come along. The wait for the bus lasted for 15 minutes, then a bright red and new double decker leaned around a corner and came to a stop to pick them up.

You appear to be referring to the Eurostar Platforms at Waterloo, which would have been closed for 8 years by the time this story is set (given the previous chapter references a PMQ's session from 2015). The main Waterloo station has an arched roof.

(transferring to the Bakerloo Line from the Picadilly Line at one of the stations when they did.

That would be Picadilly Circus.

Luna's group started at the Imperial War Museum, which was filled with many artifacts from Britain's great military past. Some collections included suits of armor from the middle ages where you could see how the knights in armor fought back then. Other collections showcased many war machines from WWII like bomber planes, fighter planes which would defend the bomber planes, tanks, jeeps, and even battleship turrets.

The Imperial War Museum does not contain artefacts from the Middle Ages. It covers WW1 onwards. Also, the bulk of the vehicles are kept at Duxford, and Belfast is the only place with naval parts are kept.

The last museum of their visit was none other than the London Transport Museum that talked about the rich history of London's great public transit systems. There were double decker carriages and double decker buses (some of which you could get inside), there were London Taxi's on display to learn a lot of things about the classic black cabs that zipped around the streets of the city, and there were some areas that were greatly devoted to the extensive Underground system: from the steam powered trains of the Metropolitan Railway to the first electric powered trains all the way to the present day tube trains. Sunset Shimmer loved the one exhibit where you could drive a London Underground train through a simulator. The group finally left the museum and went to visit the other group for lunch before they alternated for the skyscrapers.

The London Transport Museum does not have any modern tube stock. Its most modern set is a 1959 set kept at Acton depot.

Agreed. It's clear this author has never actually been to London.

Also, Wembley Stadium is never used unless there's an international match, because Wembley is the England national team's home ground

As a sports writer, there are so many things wrong with the chapter that it hurts my heart

In London, they could have gone to so many other stadiums

1. Stamford Bridge (Chelsea)
2. Emirates Stadium (Arsenal)
3. London Stadium (West Ham United)
4. Selhurst Stadium (Crystal Palace)
5. Vicarage Road (Watford)

(personally I'd recommend Stamford Bridge and Emirates)

However, if the gang were up for a trip, they could go to the following football venues

1. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Tottenham)
2. Anfield (Liverpool)
3. Etihad Stadium (Manchester City)
4. Old Trafford (Manchester United)

Honestly, the whole chapter need a rewrite and I'm up for giving tips

Everything wrong with this chapter

1.

West Ham United take on Arsenal

West Ham and Arsenal do not play at Wembley

2.

The West Ham United team of which is a Golden Globe winner of four consecutive seasons, and the Arsenal team who has never made it to a Golden Globe Level, but has monstrous determination to get there."

Errmm... What the F***? (Golden Globe does not exist in football as far as I know,) Arsenal are the far superior team on paper, having won the Premier League twice with West Ham winning none and West Ham was the best you could do? The six biggest Premier League teams are Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspurs (recently)

3. This is my biggest peeve,

West Ham won the game with a shocking 59 point victory to a measly 46 from Arsenal.

A real English football game would NEVER EVER EVER EVER finish like this, there are four types of players - forwards, midfielders, defenders and one goalkeeper. After a score like this, both teams would have fired their keepers after the 10th goal

Rant over

I've only ever been to Wembley once-for a Coldplay concert.

If you want to read a good footie story, may I recommend Over Land and Sea by WessexBrony? It probably helps he actually lives in Britain (he's from Winchester).

I thought West Ham was the national joke (apart from leaves on the line).

I suspect the writer has muddled soccer, football, and cricket.

This still hasn't been updated even though I rewrote the whole thing

Given that the announcer mentioned "The first game of the season", it could be the FA Community Shield, which does take place at Wembley, but then the whole "moving on to the semi final" thing probably says otherwise.

The chap who wrote this story seemingly knows little about either sport or London. I'm not really a football fan, and even I could call BS on that game!

9852140
yes, he was the leader from 12 September 2015 to 4 April 2020.

10846824
I know. I guessed he was given the PMQ's session references a remark David Cameron made about Corbyn in 2015.

Cirfirmed. London Underground (Tube) has 4th Rail System.... Not 3rd. Except the overground line. I from London 🇬🇧.

Very true. I suspect the author is not considering how much he gets wrong about the capital.
