A tale of pedestrians at 2 LTN Junctions. This Bourne Hill/Green Lanes one where 2 LTN boundary rds meet taking the LTN displaced traffic & pollution has ❌NO pedestrian crossing lights. It was already a high pollution hotspot before @tfl -funded LTN pushed more pollution here🧵

Thank you so much to Sam Robinson for bravely sharing her story 💜 #GraduatedDrivingLicensing #EnoughIsEnough #YoungDrivers

🚨We're calling on train companies and Network Rail to expand the train ticket booking window!

The most affordable tickets should be available further in advance, to:

- Help people plan their summer travels
- Help rail compete with flying
- Support UK tourism

While it's good to see extra services, Glasgow really needs proper late night services like they briefly had during December.

If we want the train to be a viable option, we need to have it that the last train is after the cinema and theatres close.

On your tea-break take a look at this from Ediz . Beautifully sums up why LTNs are not working:

People selling their cars? Don't think so
Less driving? Not likely
Rising house prices? Very likely

Even Rachel Aldred has struggled to find more than 'limited' modal shift.

I'd be the Main Roads Mayor if elected London Mayor (no chance of me ever standing, you and I will be relieved to hear!). I'd include the ‘main’ rd cousins: the busy rds that may not be main throughfares. Here's why & how I'd focus on main rds johnstewartliveblog.wordpress.com/2024/04/28/why…

The abuse this young man took - and politely responded to - for this tweet blows the mind.

Road traffic noise map of London. So, if you were standing for election on Thursday, what would be the commonsense priority: more LTNs that move yet more traffic onto the busiest roads or measures to cut noise on those busy roads? It should be a no-brainer noisemap.ltd.uk/projects/londo…

These cross country routes equate to cinderella services. Little has changed since BR days.

It's recommended that we limit our headphone use to no more than 60 minutes per day at 60% of the maximum volume.

He's right. Plus handing over suburban commuter services to @tfl has cross-party support. TfL has demonstrated how it can run and improve services. Plus with full 'metroisation' of south London's rail network, you potentially unlock thousands of new homes standard.co.uk/news/transport…

Mark Lynas is 100% right on this. Read his piece in the Spectator.

“We currently have the ludicrous situation in the City of London where Bank Junction is closed to Black Cabs erroneously on safety grounds” - see 👀 the short video below raising the issue in the House of Lords this week ⬇️
