Shoddy @CityFibre in Chapel Allerton, Leeds

Catching up on the latest #UTGNext on my way home from #Move2023!

The walk to my nearest bus stop has such poor air quality I find myself coughing by the time I get to the stop (it's an 8 minute walk). So I walk to a stop further away with less traffic on the route. But the route to my nearest stop is also the walk to school for so many kids...

@FictionsOEK @carriageworks_ Hi, I can't make the whole day but would it be ok to just come for the morning?

Still tickets left for our Urban Writing Retreat on Saturday 27th May. Join us for a productive day of writing @carriageworks_ ! eventbrite.co.uk/e/affordable-u…

CHART OF THE WEEK: A recent @TransportFocus report showed awareness and use of the £2 #bus fare cap is higher in the three regions of the North than the rest of England. This has increased significantly since January 2023 and is highest in the North East. #NorthernStats

@BBC6Music @laurenlaverne can you give a shout out to my best friend Kat who is moving to the USA today!!! Going to miss her SO much but wishing her all the best!

@DrGregMarsden I'm enjoying these buses on the X98/99 route (I get on in Roundhay) but I am sad to see the zap service go. I had a friend who commuted daily on the zap pre-pandemic because it was much more affordable than the train...

The buses have moved to a new fast Wetherby - Leeds service. I wish it luck. Done well bus is a great product/service. We need more people to be using it. That wont happen imho without a big shift in complementary policies in tandem with the service upgrades.

Last ride on @Transdev @cityzapbus tonight as service stops on 19/11. A fast bus with great comfort and facilities and top staff. Cheaper than train. Plenty of people on it but not enough. So it gets cut. Some reflections - thread

Earlier this year I read "I Belong Here" by @anitasethi and loved it! I'm so pleased that we'll be discussing this at the @transportwm book club in January 👇🏾
