What, just like people driving motor vehicles are allowed not to use motorways, despite the cost of providing them

Still hoping for some help!

All great in theory, but you really need to get your basic customer service sorted or you'll end up with no customers whatever innovative schemes you offer

The Extreme Weather Report, April 24, 2025:

Nice summary...

I paid £3 for 2 miles in Lancashire the other day!

26% of Tory and Reform voters would be less likely to vote for those parties if they were in an alliance. Does that mean they would stay at home?

17-year-long Scottish study of 82,000+ adults finds commuting by bike reduces your risk of:
• early death
• hospitalisation for any reason
• cardiovascular disease
• cancer mortality
• treatment for mental health problems.

Yeah, but those LTNs and bike lanes are *really* annoying.

That was exactly my point, so I'm not sure whose 'selfish NIMBYism' you are talking about

Will they be posting updates here like they used to on Twitter?

Housing must take priority over nature, says Starmer in green belt reform plan Councils given mandatory targets to deliver 370,000 homes a year in England, including through review of green belt boundaries

I think he's confusing nature and landscape. There's plenty of land we could build on with no more nature than you would find in a suburban back garden. There are lots of arguments for not building unaffordable car-dependent sprawl, but nature?!! www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Louise Haigh resigns as UK transport secretary after admitting phone offence Haigh tells PM she is ‘totally committed’ but leaves role after incorrectly telling police a work mobile phone was stolen in 2013

Gutted to read this. Just when we finally had a Transport Secretary who 'got it'. If my bag was nicked I'd struggle to provide an accurate list of its contents... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You should try that race in the opposite direction. It would perfectly illustrate the importance of keeping flexible tickets affordable.

Yay, the train operating companies have started to arrive on Bluesky. But i bet the last ones to make it here are also the ones with the most delays and cancellations, who you most need to get in touch with. I don't want to have to keep an Ex account just for contacting Avanti West Coast.

except some of the people whose incomes have risen the least don't have anywhere to live, so they are no longer part of "the market"

Police seem fairly relaxed about this tactic. Anyone want to lend @just-stopoil.bsky.social some tractors?

An image from a news story from the Independent showing someone filling their car with fuel at a fuel pump and the headline: Keeping £2 bus fare cap would cost a tenth of fuel duty freeze, says think tank.

⚠️Labour's transport funding reality check ⚠️

🚗Amount missed out on by freezing fuel duty = £3bn.

🚍Much trumpeted £1bn for buses = 1/3 of this.
🎫Cost of retaining £2 bus fare cap in England = 1/10 of this.
🚶‍♀️🚴🦼Amount granted for active travel just 1/30 of this.

About £300K, unless you guessed I was lying

A Morris Minor parked next to a huge new SUV.

Cars in the U.K are up to 55% larger today than they were in the 1970s and there are twice the number of cars on the U.K's roads as there were 30 years ago, but the media are still running articles claiming that a handful of cycle lanes and LTNs 'cause congestion' in London...🙄

What a chart.
