Heriott Watt students will present their proposals next week to Edinburgh’s council to run tram-trains on Edinburgh’s southern suburban railway section which used to serve passengers but only serves freight as of now. #edinburgh #scotland #uk #tram #transport #trains
Mayors Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram are championing a ‘Northern Arc’ connecting #Liverpool and #Manchester through a new railway to boost the UK economy. The project aims to create an economic supercluster, with £150bn annual GVA and 5.4 million people. The Liverpool-Manchester #railway is seen as the ‘missing link’ in regional #transport, unlocking £7bn GVA, 300,000 new homes, and 40,000 jobs by 2050. This rail line would improve connectivity, supporting key sectors like life sciences, AI, low-carbon tech, and advanced manufacturing. The initiative could position the North West as an economic powerhouse, similar to the Oxford-Cambridge Arc, attracting global businesses and talent. The Mayors are collaborating with local authorities, private sector partners, and government to drive investment, innovation, and regeneration in the region, making it a key contributor to the UK’s future growth.

Vor britischer Nordseeküste: #Frachter brennt nach #Kollision weiter
"Nach der Kollision vor der britischen Nordseeküste brennt der Frachter "Solong" weiter. Die Suche nach einem Vermissten wurde eingestellt. Umweltschützer warnen vor erheblichen Gefahren durch #Giftstoffe.
Bei dem Unglück ist dem #Schifffahrtsunternehmen Crowley zufolge #Flugzeugtreibstoff ausgetreten. Den Angaben zufolge..."

Old Trafford (the stadium) always struggled to build more because the trains ran alongside the place. And then the other side of the train track, none of the residents would sell their place.
I guess Manchester United has finally bought all the houses around the stadium and convinced the local government to shut off the train line to Liverpool whilst they redevelop the entire area.
Some big big money being thrown around here.
I'm prepared to shell out to take the #Eurostar bc as a North American, I want to experience what fast, efficient #railservice is like. It's a #transport unicorn, so I'll take the opportunity every time.
Hi folks
Just joined today. I'm a retired Scottish gentleman interested in vintage buses and I hope to post some interesting facts as we go along.
I'm building a website using Hugo and I'm currently visiting transport museums and collecting photographs.

Take a bloody look at this electric car… Chinese of course, because they currently lead not only in value for money, but in battery technology and car manufacturing…
Can I have one please?

Although the #bridge closure would have been inconvenient, I had a look at what this #forge / #blacksmith makes and its not that large/heavy items (vehicles over 7 500 kg are forbidden from the bridge anyway) - I do wonder if it was a coincidence his business had trade decline and the real reason is even relatively middle class folk are skint, and simply can't afford artisan forged garden ornaments? #Suffolk #roads #transport
A business case to replace the Tyne and Wear Metro's outdated signalling system has been submitted to the Government. Backed by North East Mayor Kim McGuinness, the £400 million bid, led by Nexus, aims to replace the system, which dates back to the 1970s and 80s. The existing analogue signalling is increasingly hard to maintain and essential for safety, with up to 62% of infrastructure delays caused by signalling failures. The Department for #Transport has endorsed the case, allowing it to progress to the next stage. Cathy Massarella, Managing Director of Nexus, stressed the importance of this investment for the future and sustainability of the Metro. Mayor McGuinness highlighted the need for ongoing funding to modernise the Metro, including expansion plans to Washington. The final cost will be determined as Nexus completes its business case.

Ken Skates MS, Cabinet Secretary for #Transport and North #Wales, announced the launch of the Wales National Travel Survey. The survey will collect data on travel habits and attitudes from Welsh residents to inform transport decisions and track progress towards Net Zero goals, including promoting #walking, #cycling, and public transport use. Transport for Wales (TfW) has partnered with the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) to carry out the survey over three years, following pilot surveys in 2024. Approximately 15,000 households will be invited to participate annually, with data collected throughout the year to reflect seasonal patterns. The results will be published annually at national and regional levels. Participation is encouraged to help shape future transport policy in Wales.

I'm more intrigued as to why the middle aged lady drives from #Leigh on Sea to #Braintree just to get #petrol - she would use more fuel than she saves doing this and would have to sit in #A12 traffic during busy times (maybe she has friends or family there?)
Also she's too young to have been driving around the time when #attendedservice was commonplace (it had already stopped in most areas by the 1970s)
