Yes agreed - Bouygues, Dragados, etc run big projects in the UK. Often the case that many of the senior contractor staff are French. Relatedly, I would love to sit down with some of those firms and work out why projects go so much better elsewhere

TFL should invest in this in the busiest stations given how much we rely on tannoys and staff to guide passengers in peak times
Beijing has been shifting more and more to high-resolution LCD units for its wayfinding, most likely when there are changes to station flow arrangements during peak periods.

Royal Commission on Local Government in Greater London 1957-60 - A London Inheritance
The Royal Commission on Local Government in Greater London 1957-60 paved the way for the Greater London Council. Many of the themes in the report are the same today, as they were over 60 years ago.

Really useful report to read
Today the GLA published its annual ‘Housing in London’ report data.london.gov.uk/housing/hous.... It has 70 pages of analysis and data visualisations and I think you should read the whole thing, but here is a thread with some of the key findings.

my view on what's happened in Amsterdam are quite simple, away fans starting nonsense and getting beat up is a normal part of football culture, any more discourse than that is incredibly stupid and pointless 👍

Shanghai Metropolitan Area and Tokyo Metropolitan Areas under the same scale. The two regions should not be treated as comparable homogenous urban areas, especially as it pertains to railway planning and construction ethos.

I do want to see how maintenance schedules of rolling stock differ between transport authorities, even within the TFL there's a huge difference between different depots even for similar stock
