Dashed Lines

Not surprised - loads of folk hanging around as well. It’s a shame it’s still not been improved, even if it is expensive to sort riverbank.

Glasgow Green – TRNSMT path diversion It’s that time of year when the popular cycling routes in Glasgow Green are diverted around the TRNSMT music festival. Here’s a quick peek at how the diversion route is looking.

Had a quick look at the diversion to NCN75 at Glasgow Green for #TRNSMT Festival. Adelphi St route still in disrepair. Photos from the other week - probably carnage today in this heat!

Fair enough if they make occasional trip into city for an event - different if it was a regular tour. (Both Bridgeton and Riverside are outside Glasgow’s LEZ anyway.) Black Edinburgh Ghost tour bus regularly chugs through Liberton/Newington on way to city centre.

Ended up at different platform at Waverley opposite Avanti West Coast train in eye-catching livery…

I’ve often wondered if hearing from blind bus users in Denmark, Netherlands, would help. Not sure what is equivalent of UK’s Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) in other countries…?

View of Clydeside Distillery - sign on pole with image of DeLorean car says: “No time travel between 1985 and 1955”

Spotted on signage on NCN7 by the Clyde…

Bob Vylan weren’t holding back about Kneecap, music industry and politics 🤬

Ok but they were the West before and after pandemic… images.app.goo.gl/ygf5rfQvGuTD.... If you mean only North America, gonna just say that? Ta

Still plenty of cornershops in UK and Ireland. France and Spain are the West too. So is it just North America that doesn’t get it?

I find the green markings for cycle space on Scotrail carriages have made a difference (and blue for wheelchair space). A few other accessibility improvements like BSL screens at Waverley and Glasgow Central. But still nowhere near level boarding - assistance for wheelchair users also hit and miss.

How the Netherlands eradicated the pothole The climate in England and the Netherlands is very similar – as is the amount of traffic.

Apparently some other countries already do: www.yahoo.com/news/netherl...

Consultations & Updates: June 2025 A short list of consultations in and around Glasgow; including some drop-in events. Also, important feedback about progress on city-wide projects.

Consultation update, June 2025. Mixed progress on Glasgow’s City Network and Liveable Neighbourhoods, N Laurieston Masterplan event and a few other projects around Strathclyde. www.gobike.org/consultation... @gobikeglasgow.bsky.social

Not sure when path was finished but I first saw it under construction a month or so ago. Work on reinforcing wall at Ellen’s Glen is coming on too. bsky.app/profile/dash...

Start of new shared path with bollard next to roundabout at Pringle Terr/Greendykes Rd

Fork in new path looking back at Greendykes Rd with electric bus and new housing with solar panels in background (and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in distance on left)

Looking back at new side path towards back of tower blocks near Greengables Nursery School

New path joins onto older path towards bridge into Hunter’s Hall Park (and Jack Kane centre)

First ride on new path by Niddrie Burn between Greendykes roundabout and Hunter’s Hall Park. Useful wee traffic-free link after BioQuarter/Little France Park. Smooth surface with lighting set back off tarmac. Bare verges for now but expect they’ll soon sprout up. @spokes.org.uk @edi.bike

Aye, Alexandra Parade too next to Townhead interchange: maps.app.goo.gl/ahMaLZzSqeqi...

Extract of article about funding UK nations & regions and over centralisation

Re: funding nations/regions and how centralised UK is. Talking a lot of sense (too much for folk in London?). If future govt is a concern for Welsh rail, spare a thought for Clyde Metro trying to get off the ground in greater Glasgow: www.spt.co.uk/about-us/wha...

Yes, seems so ingrained they ignore evidence. Possibly as they park their own car outside shop? It was mainly shop owners in Govan who held the anti-cycle lane meeting last month: bsky.app/profile/magn.... Expecting issues with its City Network routes too…

City Network still moving but not likely to meet 2030/31 timescale: onlineservices.glasgow.gov.uk/councillorsa.... Unsure about some bus stop / junction treatments in concept designs. But do want them to progress - will see what happens to first nine routes (4 Inner North, 5 South). Govan to follow…

'Controversial' cycle path plan switched to another road after feedback The council has been consulting on plans for cycle paths in the north and south of the city.

Recent developments have been rerouting City Network - first it was back streets alternative option to Saracen St (‘Inner North’ area). Now Kilmarnock Rd in South being switched to Pollokshaws Rd after community feedback: www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow.... Expect more to come…

Comes after moves to remove segregated bike lanes in Toronto (seems they annoy provincial governor):
bsky.app/profile/laws.... It’s 9 years since Holmston Road lane was removed in Ayr and campaign fought off threat to Bearsway. Hope we don’t go back to that in Scotland.

NYC: Bedford Ave bike lane, recently upgraded to parking protected, now has section downgraded to just paint again. Seems due to complaints by part of community, including religious group…
Makes me wonder about install due on Haugh Rd, Glasgow. Hopefully, Bike for Good will have an influence there.

Those 4 blocks will revert to 2024. This is what it looked like in the fall on Bedford leading up to those 4 blocks at Willoughby. A painted bike lane will be ignored by those who live there.

Great job Eric Adams. You've brought back danger.

Glasgow infrastructure update, Summer 2025 In case anyone else has been losing track of all the construction projects going on just now… Glasgow City Council put out an Avenues Programme Progress Report (PDF) in April 2025. However, a …

A wee summary I did for GoBike of current active travel projects under construction in Glasgow city centre: www.gobike.org/glasgow-infr...

Cyclehoop’s Trips works in Glasgow. Just not promoted enough IMHO. Edinburgh already has the residential bike hangars so not too big a leap to add short-term parking? cyclehoop.com/case-study/c...

LBC shows off its local knowledge about the Clyde… 🧐

More US highway replacement projects than I realised (@replacethem8.bsky.social 👀)

So you’d keep the BR logo at top of sign outside station and just replace white sign below?

Sign outside Motherwell train station with British Rail logo at top in white on red background and Scotrail logo at foot in white on dark blue band

Bilingual platform sign at Motherwell train station (English and Scots Gaelic)

Brave to take on such an iconic logo - almost impossible to improve on it. Your flat colour posters look better than gradients. You’ll probably need another look at bilingual signs. I’m not sure about all white background on outside sign - won’t stand out so well on grey days (see photos)
