Ha! I was just thinking that about when we used to go to the church come community centre 😁 then off to the horses (for me)
If this coronation was happening in the summer holidays, it would be done by now because they wouldn't be doing hymns.

While the DfT are doing crap photoshops to announce a potential new office block in Derby, the Japanese are opening new railway lines and announcing them like this.

You are most welcome and in York home of @activetraveleng so doubly appropriate
It only seems appropriate to welcome you back to
@transportgovuk with this picture of you at a meeting we were both at in York with on an E-Bike in 2017/18. Welcome back and anything we can do at Local Councils Innovation Group CIC @LCRIGnetwork to help then let us know.
Quite happy not having a number and postcodes aren't perfect in rural land

Fun to do, nerve-wracking as unscripted, and hopefully no one points out something major I missed. I am in the curiosity and discovery phase of seeking out policy. With an oblique reference to @garius twenty-six minutes or so in 🤫
🔊🌍@pclaytonsmith, our Executive Director Government & Corporate Affairs and @PIARC_UK representative recently enjoyed an unscripted chat, new for @LCRIGnetwork around the subject area of rural mobility and policy!

The piles of books were rustling ominously in the spare room last night.
They could smell the oak and oil, I think. They knew their new home was ready.
I told them they needed to wait, but agreed that they could send a delegation to try it out.
Never seen them so happy.

One of my favorite scientific figures is this one of the entropy levels of 100 world cities by the orientation of streets. The cities with most ordered streets: Chicago, Miami, & Minneapolis. Most disordered: Charlotte, Sao Paulo, Rome & Singapore. Paper: appliednetsci.springeropen.c…
CBI's "Future of Commuting" makes for interesting reading. There is an emerging theme, unintended (possibly) on disparity between Govt Policy for rural communities such as Net Zero plans & heating, Farmers, Transport Mobility & Climate Change. Or is it me? I hope not.
Anyone with an interest in @Dft strategies would do well to watch this morning's @CommonsTrans for a one off evidence session on the National Bus Strategy (England). Will the Strat be a credible response to the challenges of covid-19, climate change & levelling up England?
Something a bit different for my feed today as winter and the threat of flooding moves further away. Art, Poetry and people's impressions. Worth a listen for anyone interested in #flooding, #resilience #poetry #reallives bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000tc…
it's a bit much when two days in a row the first links on your Medium notifications are for @garius articles. Granted he's an awesome writer but #notbiased #brother garius.medium.com/the-black-…
