Favourite Stations - Baker Street Meet Anne, a Metropolitan Line train operator and photographer. Her favourite underground station is Baker Street I've started exploring people's favourite stations on the London Underground Map What is your favourite station, and why?

Canals, dogs, and Brum ❤️ This absolutely brightened my morning. Such a great reminder of how walkable the city centre is - I don’t think I saw a single car. We have so much to offer. (Just add a city park!)

One of the most gloriously misleading TV spots I've ever seen.

Yeh! Because of brexit UK kids can delight in playing with asbestos. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Board of Peace - Season 1

Have you ever wondered why the car lobby is always happy to respond to environmental claims, but you never hear them talk about obesity or public health? That asymmetry isn’t accidental. It’s a strategic choice about which fights they can survive.

Current conditions in Minneapolis for those abroad that think Americans aren't pushing back.

Strava heatmap of Europe. Belgium, Holland and England lead. Two of these places have great infrastructure. How crazily bizarre is it that one of the top three cycling countries in Europe, is shit to cycle in. Imagine how easy drivers would have it, if England invested in cycle infrastructure.

Not even in the top whatever that keeps people on bikes safe. Ireland is deeply unserious about road danger and public health.

I love Technic Lego! My first encounter with Technic was in about 1990; I received several Universal Sets (each with 4 model options) before I was 10. All the fun of Lego, but with gears, motors, pneumatics and linkages. I loved reading Lego catalogues and fantasising about I'd like next. 🧵 1/n

British soldiers, off the frontlines

Burns Night in the Hague with the British embassy was fun. Haggis, Scotch whisky, Dutch whisky, poems. Two countries united by a love of smoked fish and terrible music.

Northern has appointed James as the Director in charge of ordering Northern new trains This is a great appointment and James and his team are striving to improve level boarding which is no easy task media.northernrailway.co.uk/news/directo...

This is significant news for schemes delivered across London in the last nine years. It means politicians can't simply 'rip out' LTNs and bike lanes they don't like. Some of those running in May's elections are going to have to rethink their pledges www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Judge-only trials in England & Wales won't wipe out crown court backlog of 79,600. Less than 2% time saved. Loss of jury trials unacceptable to many. Delays in hearing unacceptable Problems created by years of austerity, low investment. Need more judges, courts must sit 7 days a week.

This week the government quietly published a 'Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security assessment': www.gov.uk/government/p... Meant to be out last year, but rumoured to be blocked by Number 10: www.theguardian.com/environment/... The judgements are stomach-churning

My new fave shirt.

said it before but I'll say it again, 40 PERCENT of global bulk shipping is fossil fuels. wind & solar + batteries is maybe the most disruptive tech in history

Great video - and I hadn't appreciated another use of ASLs - allowing an emergency vehicle to turn left out of a junction after "wrong siding it" (at 6:15 into video) youtu.be/kSoOW35qO84?...

Who could the mysterious hosts of this week's Words Unravelled possibly be?? See them unveiled in our spy-themed episode: youtu.be/fq4Jc8UCR-g?...

He is gonna take Iceland for sure.

OK brace yourselves for some GOOD NEWS, so unfamiliar you may have forgotten what it looks like, but it looks like this!

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest songs of all time. Released this day in 1984. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCwX...

"Trump, go fuck yourself." Danish MEP Anders Vistisen publicly insulted the US President for his attempts to annex Greenland. "I will say it in your language, President Trump: fuck off," he declared from the podium. Give that man a medal 🎖️

Leaving Uncommon Cider to meet up with the #3bybile crew at Cabin 🍻🚲🐶. Fun day with my pal! #yycbike

Forget the 1.5m at 30mph or 2m above nonsense. Keep it simple. Get all four wheels across the line, or get six points and a fine. Drivers struggle to judge distance, especially at speed. The line is a clear marker.

Not for the first time, it looks like Channel 4 just handed the keys to their socials to an evil genius:

French vehicle manufacturer Renault will start building long-range attack drones at its Le Mans and Cléon plants. Renault will produce up to 600 of the drones per month, with some employees voluntarily transferred from the automotive chassis and motor lines.

Roughly two-thirds of Amish churches now allow e-bikes.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Swiss track racer Oscar Egg on the day of his record-breaking 1912 run at the Paris velodrome. He used his aerodynamic "Velo Fusee" fairing to cover 42.122 kilometers in 60 minutes.

I just love these ‘ecoducts’ in #NL built to enable animals to cross major roads. Imagine. And we saw them from amazing #cyclelanes joining Amersfoort to Utrecht. @activetravelcaf.bsky.social @activetraveleng.bsky.social @cyclinguk.bsky.social @lauralaker.bsky.social we can only dream.

another tory goes to reform,,,, Anyone got any ideas about what attract them?
