How is network rail this bad at designing new stations?!
How is network rail this bad at designing new stations?!
So, it's time for my #BooksOfTheYear Starring @Alex_Niven @MBunting_ @liam_scfc @MunicipalDreams @philsfootyfacts #GaryABoyd @johnrobb77 @andyspin @timburrows and @WritesBright
This is hilarious, someone has so little understanding of supply and demand they think making airport parking cheaper is the solution for bad parking. bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
Is there a better formed, medium sized station than Stafford? Generous corridors, covered platforms and waiting rooms with direct access to your train.
@NeepsnTatties The yellow boxes on the carriageway along the route, along with signage, warn tram drivers that they are approaching a non-signalised pedestrian crossing. There is also signage in place to highlight to pedestrians to look both ways before crossing.
Nice improvement at Edinburgh Waverley, I wonder how long it'll be until platforms 4 and 5 are behind ticket barriers?
As someone who cycles in Edinburgh hills aren't the problem, that's what gears are for, the problem is trying to keep up with traffic.

It's the first time I've had a train to myself only it's a rail replacement coach...
Check out the new Cycle Network Planning Tool @SustransScot have developed with @robinlovelace & @DrMalcolmMorgan @ITSLeeds! npt.scot LA officers, campaigners, consultants & funders alike now have a shared evidence base for where infrastructure is most needed!
Introducing ⚡️GB Renewables Map⚡️ – my latest (personal) energy experiment Play with a map showing live generation for major wind farms in Great Britain, showing what each farm is generating and where that generation is physically located. More soon! 👀 renewables-map.robinhawkes.com
I reckon they could fit a few flats over Morningside Waitrose
What should we put around a new train station? housing and shops? Nah a giant carpark sounds best and throw in some terrible staked cycle racks for good measure.

Trafford Park is Europe's largest industrial estate, then there's Sharston & swathes of the Stockport area. Industrial/scrap land shouldn't exist this close to the city centre, and most of it isn't valuable or providing many jobs.
@Samuel_Lloyds Which is entirely the fault of the rules tbf. If you can't enforce the rules, don't make them in the first place!
🏘️Just 5 huge sites in #Manchester that *should be* earmarked for sustainable, affordable #Housing. All within reach of good public #Transport links = No car dependancy. Terraces, apartments, townhouses. High density living.
@CoKeynesian The problem with this is you're mashing large and distinct commuting areas into each other (eg Liverpool and Manchester), which will induce jam-spreading and squabbling rather than policy right for each local economy
My modest proposal for reforming local government in England: Abolish the mayoralties and half-baked devolution "deals" and replace them with a uniform system of Regions, each having its own Regional Assembly and Government with powers similar to French Regions.
@kitchentowel @Conservatives Absolutely. @andy4wm as leader of the Conservatives would be very popular with floating voters in the centre. A move to the right would be the worst move of all for the Tories.
@Samuel_Lloyds @Regenerate_SOT @MittensOff It almost feels like they're trying to grow a German-style federal model (with a mixture of regional and city states) from the ground up.
Once again I want to say that this is a insane way to run and reform local government in the UK. Really hoping Labour take a proper look at governing structures when we're in and do something to fix this utter mess
Houchen may be joined by new Conservative mayors in 2025 with elections in Greater Lincolnshire, Suffolk and Hull and East Yorkshire and Norfolk. Norfolk delayed its election from May 2024 to May 2025.
@andrewgmartin @Samuel_Lloyds @MittensOff Problem is it’s already happening and the entire area will get subsumed. Moorlands and Peak council from the east Cheshire from the north WMCA from the south It’s define or be swallowed. And I think we should have enough to stand on our own. They’re all oblivious
It’s time for North Staffordshire to take its future into its hands and get a campaign going for a Mayor. Newcastle Under Lyme Stoke On Trent Staffordshire Moorlands (part of) Stafford Borough The politicians need to put their ivory towers to one side for the good of the area
"Manchester much closer than expected" say pundits
Greater Manchester Mayoral Result: 🌹 Burnham (LAB): 63.4% (-3.9) 🌳 Evans (CON): 10.4% (-9.2) 🙋 Buckley (IND): 7.6% (New) ➡️ Barker (RFM): 7.5% (+4.8) 🌍 Spencer (GRN): 6.9% (+2.5) 🔶 Austin (LDM): 4.2% (+1.0) No EDem (-1.3) or INDs (-1.6) as previous. Labour HOLD. Changes…
@IwanDoherty98 They are the only democratic power in England that is proving capable of opposing the ever greater centralisation of British politics and public policy debates. They are already drawing higher turnout and far higher public name recognition than local government managed.
1/🧵To celebrate local election day I have unlocked my big post on how we can make people care about local government.🗳️ In the piece, I argue that we should do 4 things to create a more democratically engaged citizenry. takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/nobody-cares…
This is an example of why I'm sceptical of European desires to standardise things so we can compete with the USA. The USA is riddled with these kinds of anti-innovation, anti-growth, laws. The great thing is that not all of the USA is. Florida can lose. Other states will win.
BREAKING: Governor Ron DeSantis signs legislation to ban lab-grown meat in Florida.
@Samuel_Lloyds @MarketUrbanism Thank you for introducing me to Fred Dibnah with this tweet
@CoKeynesian Meant that people felt connected to decision making whether they liked those decisions or not. We have now over centralised, taken the money away and weakened local democracy and therefore the state in the process
The government spends a great deal of money in the North paying people to be poor, and a great deal of money in the South investing in making people rich. They then turn around and say to the North it's your fault you are poor, you should be greatful for the handouts.
My parent's ASHP has been running over the winter, they're very happy, house is 21C and with an average COP of 4.4 they are on track to save £1500/yr compared to their old storage heaters, independent performance data via @Openenergymon is available here heatpumpmonitor.org/system/view?id…
I've just finished installing an air source heat pump for my parents to replace a solid fuel and storage heaters in a 120m2 1980's bungalow, it's been a fun weekend project over the past few months 😀🧵
I strongly agree with @tylercowen that NIMBYism explains much less of the UK's economic underperformance than the 50% the Brits who he spoke to guessed. I'd love to know who the well-informed Brits were, or even just where they live and work. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…
