Good grief. Wandsworth Council’s plans to “tackle the gridlock” & “get Puntey’s roads mvping again” all involve stealing space & time from pedestrians in a self-defeating effort to increase traffic throughput 🤦‍♂️ Really bleak, horribly misguided stuff

Can't help but notice there are bits missing. I assume this is because it's the unfinished connection to allow Underground trains access to the former Thameslink tracks into Moorgate. The plan was to use them as storage sidings so trains could start the morning service from the centre of London.

EMR seat reservations is due to the changeover from the old 222 diesels to the 810 bimode trains. Because they cannot guarnatee which type of train will run the service. The 810s are late being delivered by Hitachi. They also had to give up several trains to Lumo for Stirling to London.

In most countries the cost of a journey is a 50:50 share between taxes and fares. In the UK this was changed to 25:75 to save the tax payer the burden. Our train fares are deliberately more expensive as a political choice.

I've now done this twice. Northbound it's fine as the cycle path joins up with the crossing. Southbound not so good as the road markings suggest you cross and then there's another arrow directing you into the flats, not south along C1. I can only assume there's more to be done here?

Theoretical physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer died #OTD in 1972. She shared the 1963 #Nobel Prize in Physics (w/Wigner & Jensen) "for their discoveries concerning nuclear shell structure." She was the second woman to win a Nobel in #physics. (Who was the first?) #WomenInSTEM

She stands in front of a large chalkboard filled with handwritten nuclear physics equations, nuclear mass data, and element symbols (including notations like I¹²⁹, Cr⁵², and various alpha, beta, and gamma values). Goeppert Mayer has a thoughtful, focused expression as she gazes upward slightly, with her lips pursed in concentration. She wears a patterned dress with short-sleeved matching jacket with a geometric black-and-white design, a pearl necklace, and her hair styled in soft curls. In her hands, she holds a wooden slide rule.

What's the best way for you to get suggested changes? e.g. At Enfield, theres a newish cycle path alongside Turkey Brook from Hilly Fields Park due west to Garde Ltd at Rectory Farm, see Open Cycle Map. This then extends west of The Ridgeway following Salmons Brook.

These councillors make me sick. Before posting this stuff, they should be forced to cycle the alternatives. For Ilford, it's either a full-on dual carriageway bypass, a series of service roads where you play chicken with drivers of the No.86 bus or chancing it through the pedestrian area which

"Councillor Khayer Chowdhury is at Ilford Town Centre

Last week, Redbridge Police held an operation in the town centre to tackle footpath cycling and moped riding. A number of riders were issued Fixed Penalty Notices.
I am pleased that the police are finally taking action on this and I have asked for these operations to take place on high streets across the whole of Redbridge.
Many elderly residents and parents with children have complained to me about footpath cycling. Riders need to slow down, get off the footpath, and be considerate to vulnerable pedestrians. 
Use the road instead please!"

It is over a selection of photos with loads of police walking through a pedestrianised area and in one, talking to a delivery rider.

Is there a safe route up to the front of the airport now? Last time I cycled there the cycleway ended at the road to the airport terminal and you had to mix with buses, taxis and cars which was not safe. Hope this is good news.

In 2024, more than 1,600 people died on UK roads. Yet a major new road safety strategy has passed largely unnoticed. This reflects media acceptance of road danger and a societal complacency—an “it won’t happen to me” mindset. Sadly, it can, and by then it is too late. How do we change this?
