Kein Verkehrsmittel verbindet sich so schön mit Natur, wie die Straßenbahn😊 Eine traumhafte Linie fährt in Freiburg. Als Kind war ich fasziniert, wie sie einfach über die Wiese fährt & auch heute freue ich mich jedes Mal, wenn ich dieses Zusammenspiel aus Verkehrswende & Begrünung beobachten kann❤️

Day 8. I've not yet been on a tram on this trip. Time to put that right.

This government understands working with mayors is vital to grow the economy & put more money in people’s pockets. Great to meet Transport Secretary, Heidi Alexander to discuss how transport is key to this mission. From Rail Reform to Mass Transit, we’ll improve connectivity & create opportunity.

The public are behind our plans for a Mass Transit network.🚊 This will be our region’s biggest infrastructure project in decades, and the message was clear: it’s time to deliver a tram and get spades in the ground by 2028. Read our full consultation report: westyorks-ca.gov.uk/all-news-and...

People who complain about the cost of building public transit are nowhere to be seen when theres highway widening project that costs billions and won’t fix traffic.

A bus stuck in traffic is the biggest sign that your city has its transportation priorities all wrong.

Drove downtown today & then rode around on the Cincinnati Connector light rail. It's free!! 🥳 Really enjoyed it; it was great to just park in one place & then easily get around by rail. Yes, Cincy needs to bear the cost of the light rail, but all the businesses downtown get a boost in patronage!! 💰

#trams_not_jams A very useful reminder: www.chathamtraction.org.uk/trams Medway is in greater need of a functioning tram network now than it was a century ago. What has been, can be again.

Starting at midnight? What is this? Another night on test train duties that’s what, testing out new signalling equipment on HS1 today. This is the part where we do some things we wouldn’t normally to test the system’s reactions i.e passing red signals (with a safe system of work naturally)

Also these people thinking it's a gotcha argument to scream "but look at the UK!" If we know anything about on-rail competition in rest of Europe, it works best on reliable infrastructure where there is spare capacity. UK has reliable-ish infra, but no spare capacity - decades of under-investment.

Pub news: Followed a couple of tips from @beerguidelondon.bsky.social today when in Soho. The Lyric on Great Windmill Street was fab for people watching. The Coach & Horses on Greek Street had an insane selection of snacks. 🍻

It is important, as the UK government considers the building of #New_Towns, that plans should include a forward-looking and sustainable transport system. That means trams. Build them in from the beginning! #trams_not_jams

A city that does not invest in public transportation, is a city that does not care about its residents.

Road resurfacing works on Melbourne St in South Brisbane have revealed the old tram tracks. The tram network was shut down back in 1969. I wish they'd bring it back instead of implementing this silly Brisbane Metro project which is just electric buses that look like trams.
