Mark Williamson In this City Deal review year, the GCP is throwing all its bonkers busways at the wall, hoping one sticks. This latest one blighting @MagogDown. The final £200m won’t even cover one, thanks to inflation—and with the county broke, who’ll pay for the shortfalls or upkeep❓🤔

SOME NEWS FROM ME

Create Streets supports light rail for Cambridge thetimes.com/life-style/pro…

We are excited to share that on Friday our charity (CPPF) signed a new partnership with King’s College, to take over the management of the iconic Grantchester Meadows. Read all about it here #cambridge #grantchester #kingscollege cambridgeppf.org/grantchester

We submitted to DfT in January 2025 an objection to the Greater Cambridge Partnership Cambourne to Cambridge (C2C) busway. We support a more beneficial & strategically advantageous route co-aligned with the A428 & Girton Interchange. Review our submission: cambridge-connect.uk/submission-s...

Cambridge wants to be a European leader, but it doesn't stand a chance unless it builds a mass rapid transit system. Quickly. Cambridge Connect 🇺🇦 Cambridge Independent Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority Cambridge University Cambridgeshire County Council

In Leeds, 2/3 of public support light rail... Public noted improved connections & faster journey times as most important benefits. Reliability also a major draw. Mayor Tracy Brabin said “The public has emphatically told us: ‘we want mass transit!' " mainspring.co.uk/industry-news/…

Mark Williamson The obvious way to speed things up (and lower costs) is to leave the Cambourne link to light rail and run the EWR heavy rail straight into the Kings X line from Tempsford. Cambridge Connect 🇺🇦

Light rail is a no-brainer for Cambridge — clean, fast, reliable, adaptable and popular, with plenty of space for future growth. Cambridge Connect 🇺🇦

passenger numbers for the reopened Northumberland Line are "five times their original estimate". the way the DfT estimates ridership for rail projects is very obviously broken, with negative implications on what actually gets built bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A timely reminder of how light rail mass transit could transform public transport in our region and of the benefits it could bring. A more connected community improves our economy & quality of life 😃

This under projection happens time and time again with rail, tram and metro schemes, hampering cost benefit assessments. All results in an under investment in the kinds of transport projects that actually drive growth Worth reading the history of the Docklands Light Railway

Mayoral hustings event next week in Cambridge eventbrite.co.uk/e/cambs-peterb…

This looks like a very interesting FeCRA event on Thursday 15 May at Great St Mary's - Making Cambridge a happy city? A talk by Peter Freeman, Chair of the Cambridge Growth Company eventbrite.co.uk/e/making-cambr…

Copenhagen approve plan for new metro line to be delivered in 2 phases over 20 years - a far-sighted plan which highlights what can be done given vision railwaygazette.com/metros/metro-p…

The South Wales Metro that's coming on steam actually looks fantastic. In a rare moment of sense, the Welsh gov cancelled the £1.6bn M4 relief road and ploughed the money not into a thousand tiny projects all over the country, but all into Wales' one compact area of >1m people.

A balanced review worth reading, finding out more, and then getting out to vote 😃 lgcplus.com/politics/devol…
