While we're at it, the year-to-date figures for 2024 are 8% up on the same period in 2023, and 19% up on that in 2022.

Stop listening to the 'nobody uses the cycle lanes' people.

Martin Bain Entirely predictable. I have no love for the Manchester Arena, but in terms of location it makes much more sense.

'But the standard fee of £25 has not gone down well with Mancunians, who have accused bosses there of 'taking advantage''

Why are Mancunians driving to Co-op Live in Manchester? 🤔

What caused this do you think..??

A) A complete accident that couldn't be avoided
B) A small lack of concentration, could happen to anyone

Bob From Accounts 🚲 Every Nextdoor conversation ever

Bob From Accounts 🚲 Literally, the only time vehicle travel speed has increased across Inner London was when congestion charging was introduced.

We cannot saturate transport demand with driving in most urban areas. So increasing speeds above 9mph generally requires both push and pull factors...

Bob From Accounts 🚲 I think a pay per mile for cyclists would be good, the difference being, they are paid to cycle. Imagine the amount of cycling that would happen

Skills & Labour my 'hobby' involves me getting to work and being one less car you have to deal with. You are welcome

Drivers: we hate congestion

How about some schemes like pay per mile to make drivers think twice about their choices, discourage drivers from driving short distances, and de-incentivise the convenience, take the pressure off the roads?

Drivers: War on Motorists

Plastic Planners It may well be that A turns into C at termination and if they put A ahead of B into the station C will be able to hold its slot on the line by sacrificing some cleaning /boarding time etc or may be able to make it up by station two. B can’t make up time.

Be like one of the most experienced (sadly now former) traffic police officers in the UK Mark Hodson .
Don't be like the guy who runs a sanctuary for abused donkeys (although I'm sure he's good at that).

Do I have this right?

Two express trains, both equally late.

A is 11 coach, terminates at next stop, B is 5 coach, 6 stops to go.

A is directly behind B, but B is held to allow A to go in front.

Is this something to do with A being fined, based on arrival at end station?

E-bikes are ‘readily available means to decarbonise transport’, says study calling for support. See the added number crunching at the end on cost to charge an e-bike versus EV car; a huge gap. Exponentially bad for the wallet to not ride, really: cyclingelectric.com/news/e-bikes-a…

Get these things off the road.

Squall Loire In the interview he admits that he was using the satnav for speed limit advice.
that's a guilty pleas, not a defence.

Jeremy Vine Scott Wheels for Wellbeing Actually nearing 71. Use it almost daily. The works are amazing and when it’s built will be a godsend as much of it already is. Of course Brentford wld be so much nicer if all the thru traffic stuck to the A4.

Scott Hang on. You're not telling me those groups don't cycle. Have you not heard of Wheels for Wellbeing? And as for “elderly”, local legend Ruth Mayorcas just turned 70!

There you go, an actual hate match

Remind me again who campaigned for the removal of the Leahurst Rd LTN, turning Eastdown Park back to its previous rat run status endangering all the kids going to the trinity primary school?
