My rough sketch of all bus services in the Glasgow city region is complete. Next up, turning this into a neat diagram... definitely much easier said than done but a challenge I'm looking forward to. #glasgow #transit #buses

We need cities that are designed around people, not just vehicles.

Excellent news! Glasgow deserves a better bus network, it is far too fragmented and unreliable for a city of its size. I just hope that SPT can do a decent job with it.

SPT Partnership has unanimously approved the Strathclyde Regional Bus Strategy and action plan, including development of bus franchising across the region. Read more here > bit.ly/3K8ZDTD

After several days of on-and-off re-jigging of schedules and routes, I finally made some more progress on my Lanarkshire franchised bus network map. Hamilton has been redrawn and all routes updated, including adding a couple I missed last time. #bus #transit

Some more progress on my franchised Lanarkshire bus network diagram - the Monklands is nearing completion.

A preview of a new diagram I've been working on for a wee while, showcasing a simple redesign of the Lanarkshire bus network under a franchised system. #transit #buses

Looks like quite a good proposal, an actual mixed-use development and a variety of densities and very few dead-end cul-de-sacs. As long as there's good provision of amenities within a 15-20 walk of all homes then this is the sort of development we should be building in the UK!

🚨BREAKING Plans for a 10,000-home new town at Heyford Park in North Oxfordshire have been submitted, including proposals for a new railway station and a driverless shuttle bus on a loop around the site. The town would be built on a former RAF airbase.

imagine a capital city that can fund its own public infrastructure!

Our new report with @LabourTogether, London Unchained, sets out how building new homes can fund the infrastructure that Britain needs. Britain needs a lot of public infrastructure investment. But public funds are limited and the way we decide on projects is broken.

A couple of days ago I overheard a gentleman express how he wished the maps at Edinburgh bus stops would clearly show stopping services and their destinations. Here is my solution to his problem, inspired by London's bus spider maps. @on_lothianbuses @Edinburgh_CC

Very sad to see this unit go. It and the rest of the 455s will very much be missed.

The placement and design of Edinburgh's live bus tracking screens wasn't that well thought through in my opinion...

Bring back TransClyde!

Glasgow has far in a way the best rail network in the UK outside of London, not having unified prominent branding is a big missed opportunity.
