Not sure if the algorithm will show this to many, but it's worth a shot: Who's actually championing the South West & South Central? I see endless posts calling for investment in London/North/Midlands, but our regions need that energy too. If you see this, please drop accounts worth following 👇

The South West has great airports, but if you want to fly cheaply, frequently or anywhere that isn't Spain, you have to head to the South East. This funnels demand & worsens congestion. The M25 from the M3 - M40 is already terrible. With Heathrow expansion, it will only get worse.

I'd love to see some of these spring up around Bournemouth and Poole.

Absolutely mindblowing to think about what we had and have lost compared to what we have now in terms of a rail network around Bournemouth and Poole (and more generally in Dorset).
Hopefully, the Dorset Metro which seems to be a follow-on from DARTS can undo some of this over the next few decades.

BCP Council meet this evening to discuss devolution options. If we throw our lot in with Hants, IOW, Soton & Portsmouth then a new, joint fast rail corridor / M27 western extension needs serious consideration. Avoids the national park and should cut journey times between the airports, BCP & London.

Fun Fact: The English unitary authority area of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) is almost identical in size to Liechtenstein, the world's sixth smallest country. Liechtenstein's land area covers 99.5% of BCP’s land area, yet it is home to only 9.58% of BCP’s population.

A kinda hybrid of this and this - albeit more coterminous with existing wards/parishes.
