I couldn't see the solar panels so borrowed an aerial shot. The battery & solar panels mean a new grid connection wasn't needed. The bank can be drip-fed from the existing connection & the majority is provided by solar panels (2/3).

Also shows how investment in good quality public transport infrastructure has a big impact. Integration of public transport is the fastest way to decarbonise transport - just making journeys easier. (3/3)

Brünnen - Bern - Brugg - Basel - Paris - London - the usual Friday commute & all electric. Think I need an early night.

Dear London North Eastern Railway. I love train journeys with you but I often see really panicked parents and carers like I was when my child was little. I have designed you a poster or pamphlet to put on the walls or hand out to families. Hope it helps. It would have helped me a lot. You’re welcome. X

Part of Network Rail's Trans Pennine Route Upgrade is to build a new viaduct over the River Calder and Calder & Hebble Navigation Canal. This will be Baker Viaduct, named after Stuart Baker, the railwayman who died in 2020 and the man behind the famous rail atlas.

We’re reintroducing bus guides to help people understand where we go and to journey plan their next day out by bus. Chesterfield first and this is only the start…

Electrification renewals of Thameside C2C route continues & 1st sections have been upgraded. Retaining existing structures, but renewing electrification with modern equipment. Thameside is a busy passenger & freight route & the renewals will boost reliability on the route.

Visiting Luxembourg, with free public transport across the country on buses, trams and trains. Buses aimed to be decarbonised by 2030. Here at main station with electric buses, trams and trains. Feels a little odd, just jumping on a bus/train without a ticket.

Excellent article in the new RAIL magazine (Issue 964) by Professor Paul Salveson on the Analysis pages, entitled Station booking offices' ticket to a brighter future. Now we need a response from the DfT, Network Rail and the TOCs to Paul's sensible suggestions...

It also does little for #Sheffield and #EastMidland services through Manchester. CrossNorth Programme brings all the North’s great cities together.

Getting freight off #Castlefield is a high priority to get rail services running reliably and efficiently through Manchester. Alternative routes must be found and support for rail freight encouraged.

A vital message for everyone. The primary beneficiaries of HS2 will be those who don’t use it! It’s the off-shoots it creates by giving intercity trains their own pair of tracks! CrossNorth Programme will do the same, starting with the Manchester bottleneck. #NorthernRail #HS2

This would sit close to the site of the proposed "Salford Interchange" near the location of the previous "Oldfield Rd." Station from way back. This plan could prevent any future transport investment in the area taking place which is bad for everyone. #Planning #Northern #Rail

Without excellent onward-connectivity, #HS2 and #NPR cannot reach their potential. Neither can the existing network which will become ever more crowded, worsening the bottleneck through #Manchester. #Northern #Rail #Transpennine #Piccadilly *For illustrative purposes only.

CrossNorth Programme proposes a pragmatic solution, giving intercity trains their own pair of tracks and delivering a new station "Salford Interchange" that will represent a step-change in connectivity, greatly reducing pressure on the congested Castlefield Corridor and trams.

The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice a new line to the east in the background map. That’s because CNP has provision for new lines either side of Manchester, securing a future-proof solution that can integrate with NPR plans.
