I built a free Telegram bot that checks my Tube lines every morning. Would anyone use this?

I got fed up checking TfL every morning before leaving for work, so I built a small Telegram bot.

It checks the Tube lines I use and sends me a short message before I leave, for example:

🚆 Morning!

✅ Central – Good Service
✅ Elizabeth line – Good Service

Leave at your usual time: 07:20.

It’s very early (basically a weekend project), but I’m trying to find out whether other commuters would actually find it useful before I spend more time building it.

If you’d be interested in trying it for free for a week, leave a comment or send me a DM. I’d really appreciate honest feedback.

What’s the biggest money-saving tip you’ve discovered that more people should know about?

I’m putting together a list of genuine UK money-saving ideas that have actually worked for people.

I’m not looking for obvious ones like “make coffee at home.”

I’m interested in things that made a noticeable difference, such as:

●	Saving hundreds on bills  
●	Government grants or schemes  
●	Cashback tricks  
●	Free services people don’t know exist  
●	Ways to reduce household costs

What’s one tip that has saved you the most money?

Mobile Core Engineers: What’s the most repetitive troubleshooting task you deal with?

Hi all,

I’m a Mobile Core Design Engineer working across EPC and 5G Core, and I’m curious about other engineers’ experiences.

What’s the most repetitive or time-consuming troubleshooting task you deal with?

For example:
- Analysing alarms
- Reading logs or traces
- Correlating alarms across different network functions
- Looking through 3GPP specifications
- Writing incident summaries or RCAs
- Something else?

I’m interested to see if there are common pain points across different operators and vendors.
Thanks!

What’s the most time-consuming admin task in your dental practice?

I’m not talking about treatments or patient care, but the day-to-day admin that takes time away from running the practice.

Examples could be:
- Chasing patients
- Managing cancellations
- Appointment confirmations
- Insurance paperwork
- Referral admin
- Something else entirely?

I’m genuinely curious where most time is lost and whether there are common themes across practices.
