Will is doing really great public service stuff here. Go camping by train!
Cross posting from the other place: for anyone planning a UK camping trip without a car, I have updated my map of campsites sorted by distance from train stations. Campsites are from pitchup.com, so should be more up-to-date than before felt.com/map/Rail-Hik...

Question: could you do a cycle crossing like this, with two parallel parallel crossings? Would be nice to have cycle lanes on the main road too, but that’s for another day. This is just to get a cycle route across the main road

We're in our monthly meeting discussing the Women's Freedom After Dark report, which finds nearly a 1/4 of the total length of TfL’s cycle network is ‘socially unsafe’ after dark.

👀Take a look at the map & tell us if you think there's any missed stretches in Hackney.

NEW: Car manufacturers want to hide the truth about their dirty diesel emissions. Along with MPs, over 50 major charities & organisations and hundreds of individuals, we demand court documents are made public. #Dieselgate #AirPollution
Biggest class action ever in court as campaigners demand Dieselgate documents
It comes a decade on from ‘dieselgate’ - the 2015 scandal Volkswagen admitted as many as 11 million of their cars had ‘defeat’ software to manipulate the tests

The campaigners said that the council was giving all the space reclaimed from cars to pedestrians and “next to nothing” to cyclists, but council believes the project is “once in a generation” opportun...

The bit about pedestrians needing to use "multiple crossings across roads and cycle lanes" as a reason to not put in protection for cyclists is very revealing. It treats crossing a road and cycle lane as though they are functionally equivalent.
