Think we can all agree that train ticket pricing in the uk is messed up and symptomatic of wider train and transport issues here.

So your point wasn't that cpi should exclude things that less then half the population use as that's kind of how it came across?
If your suggestion is that inflation figures shouldn't include things that are environmentally damaging then that doesn't really make sense either.

TFL spend Β£750MM/year on direct bus subsidies. As a thought experiment could alternatively buy 750,000 e-bikes a year and distribute them to those who could use. 12 years to buy a bike for everyone in London.

Cheap buses in London already cost Β£750MM in direct subsidies.

Beginner Training Courses - Dry Stone Walling Association

A good hook in is here. Go to individual branches. www.dswa.org.uk/training-edu...
I did a 2 day course in Derbyshire.

You may want to think about the actual stone type you want to use as they are regional (the style as well).

I'm glad you got some evidence in. I saw another report that claimed that buses were very safe and I suspected that it didn't cover a lot of things or London specific interactions.

Oh, she kept asking questions of me despite having blocked me. Weird.

I suspect the process is anachronistic so paper based.

Crud, I included several photos in mine. It must look butchered. I should have alt texted them.

You can of course submit a few of these in the call for evidence to correct the record.

While this bus stop on the north circular which definitely isn't a floating bus stop for the purposes of the bill has had a recent death.

I suggest that if submitted "evidence" can be disregarded as "part of a campaign" then it lets people who are able to attend these debates in person to have disproportionate influence.

London (tfl) subsidises bus fares by between 0.5 and 1 billion a year. I. Believe this comes from council tax.
