Finally, back to Cambridge for the TPS Eastern Region celebration of Transport Planning Day.
A.k.a. beer!
Enjoyed chatting with everyone. Lovely way to finish the day. (3/3)
Photo taken in Parliament Square, looking towards the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge Road. The Elizabeth Tower (home of Big Ben) prominent in the centre background. It’s been a wet day and the street is damp. The sky is a beautiful blue colour as twilight approaches.

... the TPS Policy Panel meeting. A good chance to look back at all our work over the last year, leading the profession, and to look ahead to next year. (2/3)

It’s been a wet day and the street is damp, but the sky is bright and there is some a bit of sunlight poking through the clouds. Some of the people in the picture are queuing to take photos with the old-fashioned phone boxes.

As a bonus, there’s a Graham ‘explainer’ on another topic too.

If you’re not already an LTT subscriber, I reckon this edition is a very good one to start with - but I'm biased!

Plus some mythbusting!

And some suggestions for what practitioners can do on their own projects, to help decision-makers make better decisions and deliver the right things.

We also make recommendations on how transport appraisal and business case guidance + practice should evolve in response to the review, and indeed to more fully reflect Green Book principles. (2/3)
Illustrative screenshot of the two pages of the report that summarise the recommendations.
