Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Bike parking right next to the supermarket entrance and cycle lane. Not hidden, not second-class, but prioritised. Want more people to shop by bike? Then make it an easy and accessible option. Convenience drives behavior.

Some sort of dedicated high speed railway line would be just the ticket.
I am glad common sense has prevailed.
BUT
The UK’s fastest-growing city-region should not be in the position of having to beg and plead for basic rail connectivity.
A plan to improve Manchester-London services in the short, medium and long terms is now well overdue.

Zipcar's UK closure is devastating loss to shared economy, and to those of us who used it to avoid ever owning a car.
UK's low VED (annual car tax), hidden subsidies for residential parking and TfL's ambivalence to car sharing all take share of blame.
