@LothianCountry @on_lothianbuses A 43 has turned up at 16:49. Not in app. Is that the 16:33 one that vanished from app arriving late, or the one app says is at 17:01 arriving early... who knows....

@LothianCountry, @on_lothianbuses, What's the deal with ghost buses in your app?! I've been at 203540 since 16:25 and your app said bus at 16:33. Time came and went with no bus and vanished from app. Now have to wait until next supposed one at 17:01. Will that turn up or vanish?!

@MTNEQUIPMENT your Randonee glove was my all time favorite (pile lined softshell leather); had 4 pairs. Now you've discontinued it, the closest match I could find was the @Alpkit Frazil glove.

@TfL it would be great if your Santander Cycles bikes had a phone mount for navigation, like some of the other rental bikes. As a visitor to London I've got to stop every couple of blocks to check if I'm going the right way and the next turn I should make. 🤔🙂

@harts_cyclery @glaikit @wotyesayin New on road provision between Craigleith and Roseburn, however well segregated or "high quality" likely to be less direct (hillier longer) and probably less safe as have to interact with traffic at junctions. Important for new cycle provision but this replacement is a regression.

@glaikit @wotyesayin I don't support that. I support a massive network of safe, segregated, direct, on-road infra. The sort of things that cities who are serious about mass cycling build. Not accidental routes built on old railway lines.

I think Spokes' analysis is wrong. I think the future of NEPN is tram and I think the future of cycle infra is *high quality* on-road provision that feels safe 24/7/365 for all cycle users. That means the people that cycle now and the thousands that don't yet cycle.

BUT Tram routes... 🤔Looks like appalling recommendation to remove🚲from Roseburn path -->democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s664… Sounds like adopting the 'do minimum' B1a option which was rejected here-->cycleparking.net/cycle-routes/E… & a mockery of the #Roseburn-#Canal project! @cocteautriplets

@harts_cyclery @glaikit @wotyesayin I think any concerns about the safety of NEPN due darkness/remoteness apply equally to pedestrians as to cyclists. So should it be made "safe" for both or both removed?

@CllrScottArthur @ktgodd Not only is any alternative cycling provision from Telford to Roseburn likely to be objectively less safe, it will probably be longer, hillier, and take longer.

@CllrScottArthur @ktgodd Will the alternative cycle provision be as _objectively_ safe as the cycle path it will replace? Segregated on road provision which likely still has traffic junctions is unlikely to be compared to completely separate continuous path, but empirical measures should be used.

I am pleased that the "hybrid tram route" I have been hinting at for so long is now in the public domain. Taking the tram off the Roseburn Path at Groathill Avenue will: 1⃣ Provide an excellent connection to the Western General. 2⃣ Mean a ~1km section of the Roseburn Path will be untouched.

@CllrScottArthur @ktgodd And if the path is not safe for cyclist 24/7/365 and one of the reasons to remove cycling from it, is it safe for those walking? If it can made safe for one it can for the other.

@use_exposure what are the dimensions of the DC barrel jack used on your lights? 4.5mm x 3mm?

@EDI_Airport Your online reported security hall waiting times continue to be a joke! As it doesn't include the time spent in the longer, though still managed, queue before the "hall" that often extends down the escalator! At best misleading if not purposefully obfuscating!

And then the flight departure was also delayed by over an hour after boarding late and sitting on the plane. Not doing well today @British_Airways & @EDI_Airport!

@ScotRail @ScotRail this is still a problem! There is no way to search for bike spaces. Having to click through individual train journeys to see if they have space makes planning trips with bikes almost impossible. Do you have any plans to fix this? @SustransScot @CyclingUKScot

@ScotRail please make bike space availability searchable! I've clicked through 20+ train journey times on your website just to find each has no bike spaces. I could be at this for hours. If they are mostly fully booked it needs to be a selectable search criteria to be useful.

A proclamation of a new king is an affront to democracy, a moment that stands firmly against the values most of us believe in, values such as equality, accountability and the rule of law. #AbolishTheMonarchy

@LothianCountry Is this still the case? That link has nothing about the 43 at the time I'm posting this.
