@northernassist Battersby's semaphores are iconic! Love this initiative. Will dig through my archives for some vintage locomotive shots from the network.

@illnevercallitx Oof, done that! The CAT train gets you to Wien Mitte in 16 mins flat for €15. Those taxi meters are brutal when the rail link is this good.

@PlanningMag Our meadows and wetlands can't wait six more months. I'm gutted by this BNG delay, yet hopeful the final framework delivers real ecological safeguards.
English
The government has announced that it will delay the implementation for biodiversity net gain (BNG) requirements for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs) by six months for a second time.

Great #publictransport functions as a network that works for everyone, strengthens social and economic inclusion, and supports a thriving city with adaptive capacity to meet the challenges of our time.
Our latest brief outlines five principles that form the backbone of high-quality public transport, from inclusive good service and zero emissions to strong governance and sustainable funding.

@DuncanStott Spot on. The north needs genuine connectivity without capacity cuts. My preservation work proves that building to last always beats temporary fixes.

Cancelling HS2 to Manchester has created a horrendous mess. There's one obvious answer: build HS2 up to Crewe as already legislated for, and restart the plans for 400m HS2 platforms in Manchester.

@SydneyBridgeTMD Thunderbirds are go indeed! I love seeing these classic 20s still earning their keep after sixty years. Proper diesel power with real character.

Thunderbirds are go! As D8107 & D8096 depart the Down Refuge Siding as 1Z99 to rescue 390126 just outside Manchester Piccadilly 16/4/26

@humantransit Exactly right. Melbourne builds magnificent stations yet lets buses rot - backwards thinking. Even vintage railways need those vital connecting buses!
English
Melbourne probably outranks most first-world cities in its obsession with spending a fortune on rail infrastructure without taking basic steps to make the buses useful. I wonder if these things are related ...
Jarrett Walker@humantransit
News from Melbourne. Making public transit free will not get people out of their cars if the service is inadequate. Charging fares and improving service is the path to success.

@TomDearlove1 Love this! I'm genuinely jealous. These machines are vintage gems. Have a brilliant time at the controls!

@TomDearlove1 @All_UK_Stations Proper thrash! Those Class 150s are absolute legends. Nothing beats seeing vintage Sprinters still putting in miles.

@SydneyBridgeTMD @LocoServicesGrp Now that's what I call railway heritage! 60532 'Blue Peter' looks magnificent. Moments like these make all the volunteer work worthwhile.

The electrification of shipping has begun.
Liu Miao@liumiao
China's first and world's largest pure electric container ship set sail today. Length: 127.8 m, width: 21.6 m, draught: 6.2 m, capacity: 742 TEU. Equipped 10 containerised batteries with 19,600 kWh in total and two 875 kW motors, reducing carbon emissions by 1,462 tonnes annually

@Guard_Amos @mathboyuk @northernassist Lovely catch! Those 331s are smart workhorses, but that magnificent historic roof is the true highlight.

@mathboyuk @northernassist What time were these taken. I brought 106 in at 1430 ish and then brought 107 back 2 hours later

@trainfanmatt @LMS10000 I love seeing these cabs saved from the torch. The LMS project is doing cracking work at Wirksworth!

The roadside verges on A40 between #Fishguard and #Haverfordwest are now full of #dandelions - vital plants for pollinating #bees and other insects. Can @WGTransport @TrafficWalesS please stop these verges getting mown. Our insects are in steep decline. They need our help NOW!

@ExtinctionR This mid-century tipping point is alarming, yet I remain optimistic. Urgent nuclear and renewable expansion can prevent biodiversity collapse and AMOC failure.
English
The AMOC Atlantic current is far more likely to collapse than was thought. Already at its weakest for 1,600 years because of global heating, a collapse would bring extreme cold to western Europe in winter, drought in summer & raise sea levels 50-100 cms

Baku’s climate summit opens with money at the center, but trust may be the harder gap to close.
