Maintenance is halted until my last delivery of components today. In the meantime I've left my new son reading a copy of @railnatter.uk Gareth Dennis's best selling book How the Railways Will Fix the Future, which he describes as "seminal" and "essential reading"
Absolutely rancid table in that last image that completely evades the purpose of an integrated transport system and / or specifying a network component based on function, opting instead for buzzwords. Op costs: wtf trams are orders of magnitude cheaper to run Vs a compatible capacity bus service
Hertfordshire County Council is consulting on plans for an east-west rapid transit network linking Hertfordshire and Essex. Electric ̶t̶r̶a̶c̶k̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶m̶s̶ (buses) are the preferred option. Have your say and help shape future transport plans before the consultation closes on 4 December. Link below ⤵️

A bus. And yet it takes decades to talk about. Endless reports and consultations. A bus.

you can lease a brand new R5 electric with 1 month deposit for only £330 a month. Insurance might take that to 36. Fuel costs charging at home would minimal. That's halved his monthly costs with a fancy brand new vehicle. If you're earn 22k & drive something ridiculous you deserve no help at all

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

I see that bluesky, in its intimate paternalistic wisdom, has decided to label this as "intolerance". Joke website, up Lula, men stop voting for fascists
Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

waymo representative sent to a city of minneapolis event can’t give a real answer about their vehicles utilizing bike lanes or not when this is a known PR issue for the company and we are one of the top biking cities in the country it’s talk of safety for the people inside the waymo only
I asked the Waymo rep whether they allow their cars to park in bike lanes. She said they do, depending on city regulations. Would they comply if the city prohibits parking in bike lanes? She said she would have to get back to me on that. LAWLESS!

In fact, fossil fuel companies have no need to advertise their wares directly to consumers at all - they can rely on sales of cars, flights and gas boilers etc for that. Oil & gas major ads are exclusively about maintaining social license and positive brand associations in the consumer subconscious
Westminster station -the portal to British government, passed through by 1000s of policymakers every day - almost always offers a good illustration of why TfL & @london.gov.uk need to curb fossil fuel ads on our tubes, trains & buses. BP isn’t advertising here to sell consumers more petrol directly
Ok but it's blood money?? Why is there so much focus on 'we should have profited from this' as opposed to 'if you do not wholeheartedly oppose this you are not living in reality'

You miss the point entirely. Death by car is entirely preventable, but isn't. The number of deaths is outrageous. Wars are protested. Guns are protested. But the greatest killer that is not protested is the number of senseless deaths caused by cars. This isn't anti-car. It is about anti-death. Think

These assholes love to deliberately take bad faith interpretation of my words; as if I haven’t consistently advocated for voting as Dems are materially better. But gotta crucify the tranny for critiquing the Dems, she helping the fascists! Meanwhile Dems out here throwing trans people under the bus.
Yes and also this sort of 'uniparty' nonsense feels so hollow deployed in the midst of a national stove-touching. It turns out the difference between a 'milquetoast corporate Democrat' and Trump was really big! President Harris would not be driving trans soldiers out of the military!

Really love to see Scottish cities starting to join the list of international examples of positive change for cycling. Lots still to be done, but the impact of new infrastructure where it's connected and complete, is phenomenal (incl. helping more parents and kids cycle together to school 📷)
