Note to Avanti West Coast - if you make your tickets wildly unaffordable, no one takes the train. 8.33 to Manchester out of Euston, carriage C... We need to run the railways for public good not private profit

London’s cycling network has more than quadrupled in size from 90 km in 2016 to 390 km in June 2024. Nearly a quarter of residents now live within 400 m of a high-quality route. With 20 routes opened in the last year, over 600,000 people have been brought closer to the network.

One of the most powerful things a city can do to improve its quality of life and all-around success is to reconnect with its water. That includes cleaning up the water itself. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo celebrates a BIG pre-Olympics achievement with a swim.

It's #backtoschool! In #Paris, cars are now banished from 218 streets (up from 185) in front of and around schools. City no longer calls them « Rues aux écoles ». Now they're just « Rue aux enfants » — Children's Streets. Plan is to have 300 by 2026. 🧵 paris.fr/pages/57-nouve…
