@mjsimpsonfilms @roulerdelaroute @dmtrubman So is the Japanese public transport system excellent as lots of people couldn’t own a car if they wanted to, if they have no off road space to store it?

@roulerdelaroute @dmtrubman Agreed. Although Japan had the advantage that most of their cities were completely rebuilt about 70-80 years ago.

On-street parking always makes city streets less visually charming, but the British style of parking partially on the curb is particularly trashy.

@voitechnology Where are you expanding within London?

Blackwall tunnel charges start at 6am. If you enter at 05.58 and exit at 06.02 do you need to pay?

@RailUKForums Good evening, what do you make of this conversation with GWR?

@GWRHelp Thanks Steve, but I would, in effect, be ‘breaking the journey’ in each direction, which is allowed with a super off peak return? You can go either via Parkway or Bath as when you search Paddington to Bristol TM it suggests journeys both ways.

@DocklessBikeMan Good evening. This wouldn't be an option as Bristol Parkway and Bath are on two separate lines. You would have to buy separate tickets for these journeys, I'm afraid - Steve

@GWRHelp Hi, I want to go from Paddington to Bristol Parkway & return to Paddington from Bath. Can I buy a super off peak return to Bristol Temple Meads? (Travelling at times ticket is valid obviously)

Monthly subscription fee: £6.99. Renews monthly until cancelled. No unlock fees. Rides 1-5 minutes: £1 per trip. Rides 5–20 minutes: £1.70 per trip. Rides over 20 minutes: £0.16 per additional minute. (Better than 33p/min PAYG)

Something new from Lime.

@CharlieJSDavis Where are we suppose to dispose of small electricals now? Wouldn’t trail down to Nathan Way dump with eg a broken hairdryer. If it can’t be made easy I’m afraid it’ll be the black bin.

Do you remember when Labour-run Greenwich Council told us they were removing the recycling point to stop fly-tipping? It’s going well… #DontKnowWhatTheyreDoing

🚲 London’s streets are full of e-bikes… and no one’s enforcing the rules We tested hire apps by parking bikes in the most absurd places. The results are alarming. Full story by Steve Bird & Jack Leather ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02/1…

@papistlurker Had that at Westminster Cathedral (London) once. Nice touch!

Went to a different church this morning and the confessional beforehand. The priest offered the absolution in Latin! That's a first for me.

@Herdsman1989 If you flash your headlights at these driverless cars like you would a driver to give them priority, do they react? Can’t see how it’s going to work in London.

Coming to cause chaos to London’s streets soon #Waymo

@FlatCapFromWN5 Network railcard is useful in the South East. Should be one for rest of country- levelling up.

...but nothing once you turn 31 until you turn 60. Something I'll have to accept from April when my 26-30 railcard runs out. Damn it. 🙃

@gaiusofthesalt @Doragoon6 @Templarpilled Hard to believe the fathers of V2 had in mind the 3 or 4 hymn sandwich all to common in England as their aim.Perhaps more envisaged was the Polish model of everything being sung by the celebrant,Mass ordinary,Lord’s Prayer etc with hymns which only ever fill the time available.

@Doragoon6 @Templarpilled As a Boomer, I can tell you from my own perspective that from 1962, when I was 7 and could notice these things, across three different states, I never saw or heard of anything but the Low Mass with the 4 hymn sandwich.

@KingOfLimeBikes Not tried them as they only operate in a small area, Kensington & Notting Hill. Have pay by distance option for charging.

@DocklessBikeMan What's Bolt bikes like?? And what's the prices?

Bolt bikes in London nerve seem to be well geofenced. And with a range of fines for out of zone ending of rides. Why do fewer (no?) riders end rides out of zone, unlike eg Lime?

@ianvisits I have a key from when it first started but I wonder if many people do these days.

TfL is warning that due to a connectivity issue, customers are currently unable to hire a TfL Santander Cycle at the terminal or via the mobile app. Customers with a member key are not affected and can hire as normal.

While the Mayor puts out PR about transport TfL slip out another bus service cut in SE London. A route serving a major hospital (QE in Woolwich) and new developments now approaching completion fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2026/02/10/tfl…

@TfL Oh I see what you mean! thank you

@DocklessBikeMan Hi, Your screenshot of the bus stop timetable indicates 6 buses in 2 hours (1600-1800hrs), not one hour - which is correct. ^CO

@TfL Oxleas Wood stop SK. 89 bus timetable suggests a good 6 buses an hour between 1400 & 1600 on a Sunday, but the online version gives the correct infrequent 3 per hour. Undated timetable left over from the 2012 Olympics?
