Good preview of Starmer in the House of Commons this afternoon

Next you'll be buying them tea bags and milk!

Desk booking is awful

'My legs are a bit achey.'
'Wolf, you've been walking for the last three hours'

This used to be a classic in police and fire services for the LGPS

Lots of train operator managers lie awake at night thinking about overcrowding

There are two red-painted vehicles with branding but they are very rarely seen on the 1066

The frequency was almost certainly poorer then

Not a 323 😢

66% of households are car less but residents will be fewer than that as is 81% of single person households and like 40% of couples with kids

Okay who uses 'birthday' to mean 'date of birth'

Today’s post is a “would have” one. Today, 15 April, would have been the first day of operation of the #Basel🇨🇭#Malmö 🇸🇪 #EuroNight #472.
Lacking government funding, the operation of this train was eventually cancelled.
A shoutout to all who really tried hard to get this train up and running!

Victoria has made public transport free – NSW hasn’t. Has there been any difference in uptake? Public transport access, travel time and familiarity with the network all play a role in how many people switch away from driving.

I hadn't clocked that the NSW vs Vic fuel crisis response would be a great natural experiment to determine the effect of free public transit on usage levels, but it is. So far, the results are very much in line with the previous literature (ie it does sod all to drive modal shift from cars)

Do these things go together

Two beers no burger?

I can't pay attention to men talking

NPZ ♥️

Our Local Plan has some mega densities for its new sites (because it has a trap of very tight boundaries)

Also the expensive bit of a GP surgery is not the buildings - see Wixams

Eigentlich voll schade, dass es so ein cooles Verkehrsmittel wie die Wuppertaler Schwebebahn nur so selten auf der Welt gibt. 🚟

Daran, dass es ein eigenes Emoji für die Schwebebahn gibt, erkennt man übrigens auch, wo noch ein paar Schwebebahnen verkehren: nämlich in Japan.

Photo from a train window of Etchingham platform 1 suggesting you text 61016 because there is someone else at the station who has been 'hanging around for so long'
