"The key to making those improvements is to start from where we actually are. That means recognising that Britain’s rail network, while imperfect, is in significant respects superior to its major European rivals and to its own nationalised predecessor." - Worth remembering...

Great to see our work with KPMG UK on the future of commuting launch today in this morning's City A.M.. With the right package of investments, businesses and communities across the country will feel the benefits of improved productivity, lower emissions, and more affordable fares.

Great to see @GeorgeFreemanMP committing to a comprehensive #TransportDecarbonisationPlan. Businesses will be looking for clarity on how investments in innovation are promoted, as well as consistency over how services and regulations will be delivered across the UK.

The engineering of HS2 is complicated; the politics is very simple: you can’t claim to be a government committed to infrastructure and cancel the country’s biggest infrastructure project; you can’t claim to be the party of the north and cancel the new north/south railway line

Thanks for having us _! #CCUS has a clear role to play in building exportable, cleaner British expertise.

Gov's decision to back HS2 in its entirety was much more than a win for business, it was a triumph for all the communities along the length of the UK that will benefit from better connectivity and unprecedented investment. I am proud of CBI role in securing this. #cbiwin

This is how Angela Merkel explained the effect of a higher #covid19 infection rate on the country's health system. This part of today's press conf was great, so I just added English subtitels for all non-German speakers. #flattenthecurve

Really excited to see the first report in CBI and KPMG UK's "Future of Commuting" campaign launch today. "Commuting Beyond the Coronavirus" sets out ten steps that government and business can take to #buildbackbetter on transport networks. Expect more soon!

Excited to be flying with British Airways from @yourheathrow for a week in the sun. UK aviation creates 100,000s of jobs, connects trade and culture with the world, and has a clear plan for reaching net zero targets. It's time for Britain to get flying again! #buildbackbetter

Another big day for CBI Infrastructure and KPMG UK in their #futureofcommuting campaign. "Connecting Communities" sets out genuinely actionable recommendations to level-up commuter networks and meet net zero targets.

In our latest report with KPMG UK 'Connecting Communities' we recommend that the National Infrastructure Commission should work with local authorities to conduct a strategic review into the level of investment needed to truly ‘level-up’ UK commuter networks.
