      Except that all the UK trainlines are being nationalized.

          no it sure doesn’t, I apologize for my somewhat condescending tone

          I tried a few paywall breakers but none of them work.

          For that site, think unless you’re subscribed, that url is just that page with the “continue reading” as part of the html with the rest of the article not actually there.

          subscribers would have a different url with the entire article. its not javascript based paywall, which 12ft.io is quite adept at passing up, generally, so I assumed it’d work.

          this is why we dont assume!!
