Good day my good friend.

I am writing this as one of my dogs just WON’T. STOP. BARKING. The thing is, there is nothing to bark about. She was literally barking in her dream and woke herself up. So I need this bit of positivity.

📕 I have co-authored a book on Mobility-as-a-Service, which is a comprehensive guide on this important new transport service. It is available from the Institution of Engineering and Technology and now Amazon.

💼 I am also available for freelance transport planning consultancy, through my own company Mobility Lab. You can check out what I do here.

😃 Good things going on

Some changes are being proposed to cross-city bus routes in the West Midlands. If you live in Longbridge, Kings Heath, West Bromwich, and Sutton Coldfield, you may want to have your say.

Now that First have updated the Taunton bus depot, electric buses will be rolled out soon.

The Shinkansen has celebrated its 60th birthday. And it has changed Japan forever.

There is going to be a cycle lane on Putney Bridge. And a new track has just opened in Whitehaven.

Finchampstead in Berkshire has painted a colourful informal crossing. Naturally, professional complainers hate it because it requires them to think while driving. I like it.
