I have been saying this for years. If I could depend on public transportation that shows up even every 15 minutes, I would ditch my car!
Exclusive: first govt plan for cycling and walking in England since the Johnson era contains some actual targets - including that 60% of all pupils walk/cycle/wheel to school by 2035. Transport sec Heidi Alexander says a lot of the push is based on public health.

Well done @livingstreets.bsky.social etc.
Rush hour, Amsterdam-style.
Exclusive: Transport secretary, Heidi Alexander, says cycling and walking plan focuses on ‘everyday travel needs’

Thanks Jon! That’s incredibly helpful for future reference.
Amazingly though, I won’t need this tonight, as THEY HELD THE TRAIN FOR ME.
I’m SO relieved, as there’s a mega train strike across Italy starting 3am on Thursday 11 till the evening of Friday 12, & I did not want to be caught up in it…

This FT piece about how Germany is fixing its railways, and why it has to, is not bad www.ft.com/content/db75...
It's one of few such articles where I am not screaming at my screen because they made some error

OMG! They held up the NightJet to wait for me!*
And now I’ve ended up with an entire cabin to myself!
* Apologies to everyone else on the train whose journeys got delayed… 😳

Help! I’m on an evening train in Italy which seems to have got stuck somehow. Look’s like I’m going to miss my night train to Vienna.
What do I do in this situation? Who’s gonna pay for a hotel room?
