Meanwhile, in Private Eye… WECA and mr Norris have been misleading the public about what’s really happening—especially regarding the Best Value Notice. Let’s hope May brings some clarity.

Good news in the official transport statistics:
- Rail journeys increased by 12% on the previous year
- Bus journeys (in England outside London) increased by 10%

But the large majority of travel is still done by car. More action is needed to make public transport attractive!

Being a good MP for your constituency is important, but what about the wider West of England? Transport isn’t isolated—it’s interconnected. New bus routes may win votes, but what are you, @darrenpjones.bsky.social, doing about the broader crisis in our bus system? It's only getting worse.

A friendly reminder that if you’re in traffic, you ARE traffic.

And mobility in cities is about space.

Been testing out the bee network this week… riding franchised 😎

An interesting read and some great infographics attached... if timeliness is so vital to the reputation and utility of buses nationally, why is it decreasing across the board? www.transportfocus.org.uk/publication/...

Last month Bath and North East Somerset Council passed the following motion pushing for bus franchising and a fare cap... what do you think? 🤔💭

Had a great time on the Transport panel with Ed Plowden and @saskiaheijltjes at the Association of Green Councillors, discussing how local councils can champion public control of buses.

Thank you for having us!
