A normal guy in a mad world... I try to make public transport work!

A VW ID.5 and Citroën Ami user, proof that size isn't everything!
You're using numbers from the last Conservative Government!

For the first year of the Labour Government, it was £2.8bn and for this financial year, it's projected to be even lower!

Facts matter 😉

There was a Guard on the train and LNER have been run by the government for a number of years 👍

Leapmotor stand out for me, showing that you can get volume and profit from the lower end of the market!

That's some speed dating ice breaker....

I'm looking forward to driving through the GWML station when complete!

Although, it will be weird having trains pass through the completed station whilst waiting for HS2 to start....

He's the problem, not the car!

I get to experience some truly sh*t taxi drivers in their billion KM Prius' (thanks to work), the inability to modulate the accelerator is a problem for some drivers!

We've always called it "MTR" due to the operator....

Really struggling to covert to "GTS"!! 😀

You forgot "Net Zero"?! 😂

But.... but.... Nigel said we'd have extra cash - it was even on the side of a bus..... /s

I'm still waiting for the good people of Didcot, Oxfordshire to march as a result of this....

Put a BBC theatre in the background, and we're not a million miles away from this....

More chance of the GMWL being electrified to Bristol, than the press holding Farage to account!

It's the old "large Big Mac meal with a diet coke" - the diet coke is doing a lot of heavy lifting 😀

That's before we get into the 'loan' to refurbish 10 and 11 Downing Street!

Or a number of Conservative MPs being accused of sexual misconduct and refusing to stand down!

It really is a great EV 👍

It's an awesome car, but the better one arrives early next year!

Revamped G6 can charge at 451kW 🤯

Indeed, it's just the right wing media coming up with more BS to sell papers/get clicks....

With the introduction of the apprenticeship for 18 year olds, train drivers aren't disappearing anytime soon!

What a load of hot air!

HFCs are effectively banned and the additional cost is negligible if you have home solar....

I'm sure he said he would leave Britain if "Brexit was a failure".....

I've just found a pound behind the sofa. Where are we sending him?!

Automation can be a power for good - for example, using ETCS to automatically prevent a wrong side door release is a good thing....

TBH, the government hasn't got enough money for ongoing infrastructure, let alone a multi-billion pound ETCS Level ATO fitment programme!

Give it 3 years and you'll see!

He has a property in Belgium also, I believe.

Using his German passport to avoid the post Brexit queues......

It's not going to happen, I'm afraid - sorry to be the bearer of bad news....

Labour can offer the country one thing that Reform or Conservatives will never be able to offer!

'Treat' yourself to the Central Line today... you know you want to! 🥵
