Today is my last day with the great @EYBuses team after 25 years. I'm sure a great future awaits under the leadership of @realbengilligan with the backing of @gonortheast & @TheGoAheadGroup . I will be taking a rest over Xmas & look forward to new challenges in 2021

Thomas Ableman hopes to create a “mini-Switzerland” – with reliable, interconnected public transport – in Derbyshire's Hope Valley. “Clear connections, integrated timetables, punctual services and the freedom to live without a car, even in a small village” independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@angus_young61 It would be interesting to see the capacity projection for Freetown Way / Spring Bank junction. From the design published it looks as though the capacity for cyclists has been increased at the expense of buses and general traffic. Junction capacity is the main driver of queuing

Heard a whisper that the latest cost estimate for the full works on Freetown Way (restoration of dual carriageway, separate cycle lanes, Bev Rd/Spring Bank junction upgrade) is around the £13m mark. Current approved scheme budget: £7.6m 🧵

@PolitlcsUK @DailyMail 16 year olds are old enough to vote but too young to buy a pair of scissors!

🚨 NEW: Labour MPs are urging Keir Starmer to shelve his plans to lower the voting age to 16 because it’ll help the Greens One senior MP said “With the way opinion polls are going, it would be total madness to bring this in before 2029” [@DailyMail]

⚡🚍 ShockTheDock ⚡🚍 27 electric buses launched at The Deep @TheDeepHull as part of a huge investment in cleaner, greener transport for Hull and the East Riding. The future is here! #ShocktheDock #Hull #EastRiding

Almost 30 @EYBuses electric buses are about to begin operating on routes across #Hull from potentially as soon as next week. It’s a partnership with the two councils and the DfT. @StagecoachEMid are soon to introduce theirs too

@northernassist I have tried to book a ticket from Beverley to Newcastle on 28 Feb. Your app shows every train as sold out. If you look at the LNER website tickets are available on every train. You will lose sales

The 2 hours 13 minutes journey time would see the train travel the 205 miles at an average point to point speed of nearly 92.5 mph with a top cruising speed of 125 mph. The southbound non-stop run at 0857 is due to take just 2 hours 15 minutes. 2/2

We're back! A lot has happened since we last posted on 'X'. We will post a number of updates over the coming weeks about recent developments, but first of all, please help us to build our followers by sharing our posts (including this one!). #yorkshire #fourway #goaheadgroup

A fine tribute to @AndrewWickhamGo this evening in the House of Commons:

@EYFillingham Spot on Stuart. Too much time table planning seems to be avoiding VOSA issues, rather than times that are attractive to customers

Full open access line up at Kings cross this morning.

@SimonCalder What kind of crazy imbecile wrote contracts that leave sunday outside of the working week

Most Great Western Railway intercity trains cancelled today. In northwest England, Northern has axed all trains on nine routes. “The underlying reason is train crew availability, in particular on Sundays which is contractually outside of the working week.” independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

#ALBUMMember @Transdev Blazefield has signed an agreement to buy buses and routes from Reliance Motor Services. Change of hands is on 19th January 2025. Read more: bit.ly/3Zzyw8g #bus&coachbuyer #transdev #industrynews #reliancebus

@EYFillingham Things don't change. All the BSIPs and EBP are not worth the paper they are printed on, if the council are not prepared to get a grip on basic traffic management.
