One of the reasons Plaid did so well and Welsh Labour were washed out in the Senedd elections. @welsh-labour.bsky.social UK Gov need to properly and fully devolve rail!

Sounds like the "there are no toilets on the new tram-trains for the #southwalesmetro" complaint is back. I wrote about this 7 years ago! swalesmetroprof.blog/2019/09/21/t...

With the essential keystone Cardiff Crossrail Phase 1a now under construction...we need to rapidly move onto Phase 2 to give Cardiff the full Metro treatment like the valleys to the north... swalesmetroprof.blog/2025/01/03/c...

Edward Luce in the Financial Times about Musk:

This is as true today as it was last week, when I posted it. I just hope more people are realizing it in the light of—well, in the light cast by Black people's houses burning.

I don't know where we draw the line. But a riot a week suggests it should have been WAY before this. I'm sympathetic with blocking X in the UK until the owners uphold our laws. Libel. Incitement. Insurrection. Abuse. Hate speech. And sexual harassment. Every single day. It has to stop.

There are a LOT of great global Bluesky urbanists and organizations that are definately worth following — this past STARTER PACK of mine is just a taste. Who is it missing? I hope a lot more are joining and participating here every day. Please help spread the word. #UrbanistShoutOut

@keirmathermp.bsky.social You & @teamlabouruk.bsky.social position re GB Rail bill & Wales is disingenuous. The evidence re: need for change is overwhelming. The fact Westminster committees have denied me the opp to present my evidence tells its own story. swalesmetroprof.blog/2025/11/07/g...

I see the M4 Relief Rd has reared its head again!! If you want to address peak time congestion (and not induce more demand) then easiest way is to "charge for peak time road use" and hurry up with new Burns stations and services. PS> www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG9M...

I penned this over a year ago. I think it needs a repost as we are not collectively putting in place the necessary guardrails to ensure we develop #AI safely. Is the SunGod political & #techbro leadership in the US is an existential threat to us all? swalesmetroprof.blog/2025/02/02/t...

Farage has 3 key weaknesses on which the other parties should be laser-focused: - His insatiable appetite for money, and his willingness to prostitute his party to billionaires, crooks & tax-dodgers; - His subservience to Donald Trump; - A nasty temper, which he struggles to hide under pressure.

swalesmetroprof.blog/2023/01/01/m... (moan #4) @swalesmetroprof.bsky.social wrote about this a while back. Not sure what the score is now that Velindre construction is steaming ahead. Doesn't seem to be much evidence of construction of improved AT links at Radyr so far though.
