Hundreds of places in Galway where a small, collaborative CPO could make active travel safer & more pleasant. If other cities can do it, why can't we?

The summary report on the proposed bus gate in Bun a chnoic / cnoc an Óir came in. And for a quick summary :

A lessons the past 12 months has taught us about our creaking transport networks is that they are extremely vulnerable. The aftermath of Storm Chandra has shown us, again, that in an era of increased extreme weather events, our infrastructure is not fit for purpose www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

God this storm is brutal, let me check the only place I can reliably see if my train is delayed...

NTA continues to force Irish Rail to stay on X despite child sexual abuse material scandal Irish and international experts have said social media platform X was generating child sexual abuse material, as well as nonconsensual "undressing" images of adults, but the National Transport Authority…

We fixed your headline for you RTE The driver killed the woman with his vehicle… please speak to your editors www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

If any policymakers or campaigners in Ireland want to discuss the evidence base for these policies I'm happy to talk

You're not dropped from the team. You're just not on the list, you're not getting a jersey and you won't be there on Sunday 😉

Interesting to see how this pans out "Galway City Council is intent on progressing a pedestrian and bicycle link across the stone abutments of the former Clifden Railway Bridge, despite national funding cancelled for this piece of the Connemara Greenway" www.advertiser.ie/galway/artic...

We've all been at a station waiting for a cancelled train with no way of knowing. IÉ and the NTA can and must do better

Sadhbh O’ Neill says that the reduction of road deaths in Ireland is being strangled by a lack of political courage. @sadhbhoneill.bsky.social @thejournal.ie www.thejournal.ie/readme/irela...

The cars need more space when there are fewer of them? Self-defeating logic that only undermines bus lane compliance. A day rarely goes by where we don't see a car in a bus lane, usually out the front window of the bus...

And it's the only place that we can get up to date information of Public Transport delays. You know, the abuse imagery & Nazi website?

This would honestly be more useful communication than @irishrail.bsky.social currently have...

Good coverage on the apparent cancellation of future work on Wexford-Waterford line by @thejournal.ie this morning. We urgently need some clarity from the Department of Transport and the Minister. www.thejournal.ie/rail-review-...

The government's approach to road safety is legitimately this:

Another delay for Galway BusConnects We are deeply disappointed to discover that the timeline for Galway's long-awaited new bus network has been pushed back yet again. Read our press release: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Having to go on Twitter for public transport updates in the Year of Our Lord 2025 is just madness.

If losing the LUAS causes this much traffic chaos imagine how much it could prevent in Galway...

The City Council has a great idea to easily improve the bus network (rare) and it could use your support... You can view our response here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... You can make your own response here: consult.galwaycity.ie/en/consultat...

REMINDER: Our official Relaunch & AGM will be held in Murray's Coffee House in Salthill at 7pm tomorrow evening.

The LUAS Red Line was thrown into chaos at rush hour this evening due to an incident at St James's. In order to find out what was going on with the service, the LUAS expected thousands of affected passengers to check their X account. It's ridiculous, enraging, and at this stage totally unacceptable

Hi everyone, We'd like to extend an invite to you for our Official Relaunch & AGM. It will be held in Murray's Coffee House in Salthill at 7pm on the 4th of December

VITAL BRIDGE CANCELLED - CONTACT YOUR TD Measuring the number of people who will use the bridge by the number that currently swim... 1/4 connachttribune.ie/nta-pulls-fu...

Delighted to have got a chance to meet the West on Track and GLUAS campaigns this evening. We're all working to transform how we get around Galway, Connacht and the whole island. Some nice light reading for us on the bus home! 😄

GALWAY TO MAYO RAIL LINK FUNDED Some good news for Galway's railway. The Minister of State for Transport Seán Canney announced that funding for the reopenning of the Athenry <-> Claremorris railway will be included in the National Development Plan. www.independent.ie/regionals/ma...

Good news out of the pre-budget discussions. Fares will not be rising this year. The Government must continue to invest in capital and current expenditure for Public Transport particularly in Galway to make up for the historical lack of ambition which has left our city totally choked with traffic.

A reminder that this rally is happening this coming Thursday 2nd Oct. Please support it if you can by joining us on the day or contact your local TDs & ask them to attend the Love 30 presentation in the AV room. This effects rural Ireland as much as it does our larger towns and cities. Bígí linn!

We're back! After some time away we are relaunching our organisation to help bring about a Galway that is safer, healthier and easier to get around. If you'd like to be involved please send us an email or drop us a DM!

Another fine example of how a small group of well-funded residents can completely hold up Essential Infrastructure through the Judicial Review system to get their way Very convenient how it also means their illegal car parking spots remain available irishcycle.com/2025/09/23/d...

Yet another report describing the obvious. Galway needs proactive and urgent investment in public transport and active travel. It is the only reliable way to tackle congestion and its massive associated costs. #speirgorm

A healthy society does not just happen; it requires us to rethink how we use our public space. In Galway, we have so much public space which is theoretically shared but which in reality is given over to motor vehicles. mens sana in corpore sano sanus hominibus sano societas (Google grazias)

Pity WestOnTrack and other rail advocacy groups have not yet made the journey away from X to Bluesky. A much-needed comprehensive train and light rail system for Galway needs to have bicycle access baked in, along #UniversalDesign principles. @galwaycommuters.bsky.social

Councils don't need planning permission for trial cycle routes? Looks like Galway should get moving on Salthill

The children in this city deserve to be able to make it home safe. The city council must do better, this should never happen again.
