Eindhoven temporary signs. Again instead of trip-hazard sandwich boards with sandbags taking up valuable footway space, it just fits in-between the bricks. Relies on bricks being present so perhaps not as easy to reproduce in the UK as the German variety.

German alternative to sandwich boards and sandbags. Seems much more sensible with a smaller footprint where it matters to pedestrians and cyclists.

Even in the Netherlands where two tier racks are common, the preference is clearly for the bottom rack. (Also these only really work if you have a frame lock, there are no locking points on them.)

#DeutscheBahn certainly tops UK trains for family friendliness. Travelling ICE long distance, kids got given a free (train themed) toy AND a free ice cream (or ICE cream, geddit) from the restaurant (also, a restaurant! Not just a little shop/trolley).

Now that's a #BusGate - near Tilburg
(Yes I know they're supposed to cycle in the cycle bypass, but everyone wanted a very close look at the actual bus gate)

New Euston departure boards... Not sensible at all for the use of the space. One closest to us (it was very busy!) didn't change from service disruption at all.
