From the BBC Archive: Will CARS Spell the Death of Birmingham City Centre? (1964) I'm afraid it did. Birmingham planners bet big on cars in the 1960s, reshaping the city around traffic flow—not people. The result? A hollowed-out centre, struggling retail, and urban decline.
The HydroSHUNTER project, a hybrid hydrogen vehicle, is entering its testing phase, with the engineering team aiming to move under battery power in August. #HydrogenTrains #HydrogenNow #FuelCells #CleanEnergy #H2 #Decarbonise fcw.sh/m90hdZ

@WestMidRailway Hi JR, I spoke with the ticket office staff and they said that all that is required is a SIM card to get the lift working again. PRM are unable to use Five Ways going north because of this small issue. Can you find out when the issue will be fixed and get back to me please?
@WestMidRailway when are the lifts at University and Five Ways going to be fixed? I’ve raised a question online but with no response.
I agree
Today’s decision on HS2 is the wrong one. It will help to fuel the views of those who argue that we can no longer think or act for the long-term as a country; that we are heading in the wrong direction. HS2 was about investing for the long-term, bringing the country together,
Today’s decision on HS2 is the wrong one. It will help to fuel the views of those who argue that we can no longer think or act for the long-term as a country; that we are heading in the wrong direction. HS2 was about investing for the long-term, bringing the country together, ensuring a more balanced economy and delivering the Northern Powerhouse. We achieved historic, cross-party support, with extensive buy-in from city and local authority leaders across the Midlands and North of England. Today’s announcement throws away fifteen years of cross-party consensus, sustained over six administrations, and will make it much harder to build consensus for any future long-term projects. All across the world, we see transformative, long-term infrastructure projects completed or underway. They show countries on the rise, building for future generations, thinking big and getting things done. I regret this decision and in years to come I suspect many will look back at today’s announcement and wonder how this once-in-a-generation opportunity was lost.

@ShivajiShivaLaw Or rather… location linked speed limiter to match speed limit + 10%… difficult to retrofit onto existing cars so black box recording linked to insurance prices would do the trick
@ShivajiShivaLaw As ever… lobbying from the car and oil industries. My solution would be mandatory GPS linked speed limiters to engineer down the risk to those outside cars
It’s been a fantastic team effort. Thanks for covering this with us. Here’s the first down train this morning. #Railways
Nuneham viaduct latest: it has reopened! After a closure of more than two months, the first passenger train ran at breakfast time. That’s one day earlier than expected. 100 passenger services had been cancelled each day.
