For decades traffic engineers ruled our streets. What the orthodoxy of automobility omitted, though, was one crucial element: the human, and our fundamental need for green space. My column in The Sunday Times today 👇 thetimes.co.uk/article/83c145…

Suzanne Donnelly from GBRTT says we need to transform the customer experience, become less insular and bring more private sector involvement to the railway. She highlights challenges including accessibility and value for money #icamebytrain

I always like to start the week with a low point - it can only then get better from here. This month's Modern Railways provides a suitably depressing article sadly.

Labour have used the simple but effective ruse of taking the DfT’s own benefit-to-cost ratio for active travel to work out that cuts to cycling & walking schemes of £380m will actually cost £2.1bn in the longer term. theguardian.com/news/2023/mar/…

This is good and exciting. Not necessarily for all the reasons being mooted, but because to my mind this is just a better form of tram track.

Ted Ditchburn🇬🇧🇮🇱🇺🇦Keepin' on keepin' on Transport Action Network space for gosforth #Railnatter podcast The Morpeth Diversion would be a new section of the #ECML that could bypass the #MorpethCurve for fast through trains, and where I disagree with the #Railnatter podcast video is I would retain the old line as a secondary route, but new route would remove the dangerous 50mph curve for good...
