I have joined the Greens this week, the first political party I have ever joined. I have been moved to action by Zack's new direction and his active challenging of the status quo.

Great new report and analysis here from @ipprnorth.bsky.social and @msingerhobbs.bsky.social.
This covers the economic, social and environmental costs of the decline in buses seen over the last decade and what can be learned from Greater Manchester to kickstart a revival in local bus networks

Manchester's buses becoming under local control again is a testament to what can be achieved when local people are given the power to do what they actually want. All power to Burnham and the team at TfGM for years of hard work.
Definitely a positive start to 2025!

Excellent insight by Stephen here. Lack of long-term planning, guidance and specificity, especially in transport, can only lead to more and more fragmentation in the system.
I’m late getting to the new NPPF today and like many in transport policy find myself welcoming a lot of the language in the ‘sustainable transport’ bit - notably the endorsement of vision-led planning - and hoping this will deliver some progress towards development of less car dependent homes, but…

Louise Haigh's resignation is disappointing to say the least, many positive moves in a (politically) short period of time and a rare shining light from this government.

Very pleased to say that tonight's #Railnatter guest has received her copy of #HowTheRailwaysWillFixTheFuture and is brandishing it at a SkyTrain station in Vancouver... Which is useful, as that's the episode subject matter!
