"I'm saying this as somebody who's made his living talking about cars for the best part of 30 years, when all the cars disappear, it's just nicer" James May, motoring journalist and Top Gear presenter

We are greatly saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen. The Office of Rail and Road extends sincere condolences to the Royal Family at this sad time.

This is a critically important new study. It shows that exceeding 1.5 degrees will likely trigger five tipping points, including Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheet collapse. We need radical climate policy to prevent this. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Just missed 'celebrating' the anniversary of 'good luck knowing what train is coming if you're deaf' at my local station. West Midlands Railway West Midlands Rail Executive

Today, some of the Sustainable Transport Midlands team and I have been in Manchester, examining the case for @CrossNorthPr. We're pleased to announce that we have voted in favour of including the programme in ourVision for 2050. @OfficialTfGM Manchester City Council Owen O'Neill George Marshall

WMRE is deeply saddened to learn of the death of William Whiting, Chair of Stourbridge Line Users Group, former Chair of Railfuture WestMids & Partnership Officer . He was a huge advocate for improving the rail network in the West Midlands & we send our condolences to his family & friends.

We are excited to announce our new relationship with The Malcolm Group. #Freightliner services began on 3rd September - we are running a Daventry - Grangemouth service 7 days a week for the next 5 years moving 36 platforms of domestic product each way.

Well, I trust the announcements about projects where transport funding is being moved to, as much as the previous promises in the IRP... (all of which have the *only funded to next stage in business case - small print on them) Short term thinking by a short-term government.

I 100% agree with this for public transit or passenger rail anywhere in the world. Don’t cover windows with advertising wraps. Period. Repost if you agree.

Owen O'Neill Dan Cookson Can you figure out how the Guardian came up with the two years off your life figure? I'm struggling to see that from the original article.

Sickening to see the LTC being approved- which comes hot on the heels of approval of major SE airport expansion too, not what I expected from this government from when they were elected. Absolutely awful.

Makes Gilligan's 'advice' on HS2 look like a trivial policy hiccup.

Putin will be pleased to see the russian flag all over the outside of the building.
