The other aspect is that buses aren't that frequent, therefore many pedestrians see that the bus isn't arriving yet, so let the cyclists pass by before they cross to the bus stop.

I've had two Shaun of the Dead "moments" recently, where Shaun's group passes his ex's group. Once with my running club, the other time whilst Green Party leafleting.

Fantastic photos. One of the few times I've seen a Kingfisher was in the Men's swimming pond in Hampstead, London. An advantage of swimming side stroke is being able to watch the wildlife.

The auto companies have had plenty of time to restructure towards battery vehicles, but they chose not to. Under capitalism, they should therefore fail.

Do Muricans understand the significance of the growing global movement to get away from US-based products and services? Do they fully understand why that's happening? There are millions of decent Muricans, but the Orange Gimp is destroying the USA. Nobody trusts the USA anymore.

Has this person ever cycled? These arrangements result in buses having to turn across cyclists, putting them into danger and/or buses being slowed down by cyclists as they wait to cross over the hatched lane. "Give special attention" never works out well.

Taxing private jets at the same rate as regular flights, and ending the tax exemption on plane fuel could give the Chancellor an extra £2.7 bn. £2.7bn for our green transport networks! With other MPs I am calling on the Govt to end the tax breaks for wealthy private jet users. buff.ly/B65XyNf

I saw a review of the Smart #2, they've been really true to the cars that I've owned and loved for 20 years. Although it's likely to be more expensive than £13k. youtu.be/rNkw0GYK3Jc?...

Both can be correct. We can reduce overall carbon intensity by switching most of the intra-day levelling to batteries (see California). The existing gas power stations can then just be kept for longer term (e.g. dunkelflaute), but that will have contract/cost implications (owning an unused asset).

I've got this nasty feeling that in Labour's rush to correct their lack of "feel good" results they might chuck important things like NetZero goals, stopping drilling up more oil & gas, supporting active travel & transport electrification under their (£2) bus. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

I talk a lot about major transport investment, but one of the biggest bangs for the buck policy-wise would be a full pavement parking ban and more rigid enforcement of traffic rules. Enforcement is so lax that this stuff is just completely normalised now, and it's unacceptable.
