Has the Modern Industrial Strategy delivered on Industrial Decarbonisation? Imogen Rattle and Peter Taylor examine the positive changes, though questions remain on delivery timelines, funding, and whether it will be sufficient to decarbonise the sector. ukerc.ac.uk/news/foundat...

In my book I don't care how many miles of rail a transit system has. What I want to know is how good the local bus system is? The humble bus is the real workhorse of transit. Going places rail will never go and unlocking access for so many people. Let's get the basics right.

Four things to say about the £23bn Thames Water needs for infrastructure repair: 1. As I understand it, this covers only extreme, emergency repairs, for infrastructure that’s about to fail or has already done so. 2. It’s almost certainly an underestimate. Another short privatisation🧵

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

Since I am under 60, a single bus fare for the only route of any use to me costs £5.90 for 12 miles in Aberdeenshire; frequency/reliability are woeful. In Edinburgh I can get around at reasonable cost. It needs fixing.

When we think about animal conservation and plans to introduce/reintroduce animals in the UK we don’t talk enough about how to mitigate the impact of traffic. This sad story is repeated across our pervasive road network and we need a proper strategy to address the harm of roads on nature

These vehicles are a risk to everyone, especially children. They are too large, lethally designed and have a huge environmental impact. Regulations in UK and EU have to urgently be updated to stop more of these being driven on our roads.
