Why do people drive or fly short-haul instead of taking the train? Hmmm 👇 . "While high ticket prices have long been an issue, it is becoming more so each passing year, given the annual rise in train fares against 14 years of fuel duty cuts or freezes for car drivers." buff.ly/410hTEI

Good evening to everyone, but especially to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham’s new residents’ parking charges 👊 www.lbhf.gov.uk/news/2024/10...
“At the top end of the seven new bands for emissions-based parking charges, the most polluting cars - such as Range Rover SUVs - would need to pay £340 for an annual permit. Diesel vehicles will have a 50 per cent surcharge.”

Why are @andyburnham.bsky.social & @heidialexander.bsky.social endorsing the purchase of Euro 6 #Diesel buses when other cities are phasing them out due to the high levels of #AirPollution they still emit? Surely children in #GreaterManchester deserve a healthier start to their lives too?

This new non-compliant zebra (without Belisha beacons) has popped up 100m from Department for Transport HQ, meaning ministers & civil servants will use it daily. Some councils are frustrated with the time it has taken Government to consider a change in regs, so have seemingly done it anyway.
