Good day my good friend.

Its been a rather busy week this week, so you will forgive me if I spare the usual smart and witty remarks, and instead get straight to it.

The only thing for me to add is that the Transport Planning Society is running its annual quiz next Thursday (21st March). There are still a few places available for quiz teams. So if you want to submit your team, best hop to it!

If you like this newsletter, please share it with someone else who you think will love it. The main way my audience grows is through your recommendations. I will love you forever if you do. 😍

😃 Good things going on

UK carbon emissions fell to their lowest levels since 1879 in 2023. Most of that was due to less consumption of fossil fuels in power, but its progress none-the-less.

One of Scunthorpe’s oldest schools now has a pedestrian crossing outside the front door.

While there is much work to be done on gender equality across the world, there has been much work and progress over the last 10 years.

A new cycle path will link West Bromwich town centre and Sandwell Valley Country Park in the West Midlands.

But they are playing catch up to London, which has quadrupled the number of cycle lanes it has since 2016.

Keeping in London, the Superloop bus service is now complete.

In another capital of the UK, Lothian Buses are going to be trialling a new peak hour bus service in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile 62 electric buses are starting to come into service in Portsmouth.

New express train services are starting in India.

Stalybridge on the Transpennine Route will see electric trains running between it and Manchester by the end of this year.

And in case you missed it, a buried report by the UK Government that was meant to be the death knell for Low Traffic Neighbourhoods has found that they work and are popular.
