This is far from the public’s priority for transport investment and every £ spent here is not being used to deliver projects that would really make a difference to people’s daily journeys and undermining goals to get more stuff moving by rail. Disappointing.

Take 1-minute to ask @MayorofLondon to dream big for walking, cycling & London! Sadiq’s first 2 terms were amazing for walking, wheeling & cycling. We need more like that, less like Silvertown Tunnel. Ask the Mayor to re-find his mojo on cycling & London! action.lcc.org.uk/dream

A new building on Tottenham Court Road WC1. The podium is clad with a beautiful, porphyritic, tholeiitic basalt - I’m guessing it’s from Etna. Building is by @stiffandtrevillion.bsky.social. Would be good to know if anyone there knows the quarry location! #urbangeology

Danger from older drivers is a massive problem. Driving is not a human right. There should be basic mandatory re-tests at age 76 & every year from age 80. If this disqualified many people from driving that might help concentrate minds on the need for alternatives. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Fantastic article. “While driving had been habitual for most participants, going car free disrupted their routines and participants’ positive experiences raised their capacity to become less reliant on their cars” But, some found a lack of travel infrastructure and services impeded car free travel
