And now some classic French high speed travel with #SNCF #OuiGo from Lyon St Exupéry to Gare de Lyon - 260 miles in less than 2 hours non-stop. The power of #HighSpeedRail & a reminder of why we need #HS2 #TrainLife #YRT #France

#OnThisDay in 1987, the Bee Line Buzz Company started operations in deregulation era Manchester. Its little minibuses made a big impact, but competition was strong and it had disappeared from the region's streets within ten years.

So pleased that I managed to get hold of a copy of the 1984 BR Passenger Timetable today, courtesy of @motgm.uk.
Beautiful use of linear two-point perspective and referenced in the excellent book by @doublearrow64.bsky.social, my copy even came with bookmark and pullout map!

Those skylights are lovely! 😍
#ThrowbackThursday this week takes us to #Rochdale, where a SELNEC bus is just arriving from the south. The windows in the roof are nice for soaking up the sun - not that one sees much of that in that part of the world! Looks like the lower panels would have benefited from a wash, too...

One of the most enduringly popular articles on this website (at least in terms of clicks and re-posts) is a very early one, from 2013. It concerns the graphic identities created for Railtrack's major stations by Citigate Lloyd Northover. These ones...

To celebrate the kindness of 1000 BlueSkyers following these witherings, I’m sharing with you some pics of a surprise visit to London’s #DesignMuseum (after last weeks book launch) which encompass many subjects I post about like transit, telecommunications, typography and good old radio. Thanks all!

If you get on the Victoria Line you might find yourself in a special train carriage. TFL has collaborated with PlayStation installing a brand new PS5 moquette.
The design features a fun maze, encouraging passengers to play as they travel. The carriage will be available until Jan 7th

There’s lots that the bus and rail industries can learn from each other - shared passion for innovation, customer experience, design & branding for starters…
