I like to understand why people do what they do, and I am interested in how our built environment influences our behaviour.

We are concerned about recent talk about cuts to the Cycle to Work Scheme. Though the scheme has some limits, where other forms of transport present barriers to Disabled people, cycling can for some be a method of independent travel that is supported through the Cycle To Work Scheme.

A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one.
It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution.

Almost as if train travel is wholly designed and organised around train companies rather than train user needs. As a user, the most important criteria is departing and arrival locations at a time that suits.

At around 8 PM on Monday evening, I bought a ticket from the machine at Euston station from London to Liverpool Lime Street. 1/8
