The TransportUK R68 bus is idling at Kew trail park (it’s not allowed by LBRUT) but its driver isn’t letting waiting passengers in on it his bitterly cold evening.

Indeed -there’s no Dutch roundabout for cycles either, I really don’t see the point of removing car lanes. And it takes forever to cross by foot b/c long pedestrian crossing wait times.

Yes -he had no issue with Manor Circus works taking ONE YEAR before huge traffic jams obviously came, then wrote some letters to blame TfL. Still now, the roundabout looks like a sorry and ugly technocratic affair -no art, no greenery, nothing.

Totally. Ehmann is meek, all talk, no trousers. Every time he's challenged, his standard answers is 'not me, I've written a letter'.

#TfL Have Your Say:
Improvements to the area around East Putney Station
The proposals include a new toucan crossing on Upper Richmond Road, a taxi rank at East Putney Station, and more space for cycling and walking.
Consultation closes at 3 March 2025
haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/east-putney-...

The image is a detailed plan for improvements around East Putney Station, labelled as "Sheet 1 of 3." It represents a schematic layout focusing on Upper Richmond Road and its intersection with Oxford Road. The plan includes various enhancements for pedestrian access and vehicle control. Changes depicted include the removal of a parking bay outside 166 Upper Richmond Road, the widening of pavements to increase pedestrian space, and the addition of a new raised table to slow vehicles. A segment of the road is marked as a bus lane. The existing pedestrian crossing on Oxford Road will be widened, and a section of landscaping will be added for sustainable drainage. The schematic uses specific colours and symbols to represent elements such as existing pavement, new road markings, and landscaped areas. These are explained in a key at the bottom of the image. The orientation is indicated with a north arrow at the top right.

The image is a detailed map illustrating proposed improvements to the area around East Putney Station in London. The street layout prominently features Upper Richmond Road running from left to right, with various enhancements marked in different colours. Key changes are annotated with labels. These changes include two new loading bays, a new low-level planting area with trees, widened pedestrian crossings, a new taxi rank, and expanded pavements to increase pedestrian space. The map highlights improvements such as tactile paving and new cycle stands. There is also a small inset showing a key, with each improvement type associated with a specific colour or pattern, such as new pavement, raised junctions, and different types of tactile paving.

The image is a map illustrating proposed improvements to the area around East Putney Station, identified as "Sheet 3 of 3." The layout highlights adjustments to roads, pedestrian crossings, and cyclist access points. Key roads such as Upper Richmond Road, Woodland Way, Oakhill Road, and Keswick Road are marked. New features include a 6.8m wide toucan crossing for pedestrians and cyclists, widened footpaths, and the relocation of a signalised pedestrian crossing to enhance safety. Additional modifications involve the closure of an existing cycle slip road, a new shared footway for both pedestrians and cyclists, and a relocated electric vehicle charging bay. Landscaping adjustments with new trees and low-level planting areas are also indicated. The map uses colour coding to denote different elements like new pavement, road markings, and tactile paving.

La fake news sur la fin de la boîte en bois du Camembert AOP orchestré par une boite de com pour Lactalis

www.lemonde.fr/economie/art...

A la manœuvre, une agence de communication

Officiellement, l’agence dit travailler pour cette PME qui aurait donc les moyens de s’offrir les services d’un cabinet d’influence réputé. Mais l’un des grands clients de Lacroix n’est autre que Lactalis, même si son nom n’est pas cité dans le communiqué publié.

Eurostar to stop selling tickets to 'Any Belgian Station' from 31 March, you'll need to buy a separate ticket from Brussels to your Belgian destination.
Multi-modal integration? The rail industry can't even manage single-mode integration, even if it already exists!
