@bikesandbabies @pedalmeapp @MumsForLungs @WeAreCyclingUK @_wearepossible @RailtonLTN please sign and share 🙏

After years of campaigning, @BessemerGrange was the first school in Southwark to get a school street. 5 years later, the council want to remove the bollards. Please sign our petition to keep our school street safe. Cameras are not enough. change.org/p/save-our-sch…

@RailtonLTN @GAILsBakery Apparently they don't honour the paper cards, only the loyalty points in the new app. I can't understand why they bother giving out and stamping the paper cards then.

@etta_collier @GAILsBakery Why? They are coming to Railton road.....

Just stopped in @GAILsBakery to collect a free drink from my loyalty card - only to be told they won't honour it!?? Doesn't inspire loyalty #badcustomerservice

@DulwichRoads @DulwichCollege @MPSDulwichVllge @DanielRIvey @RM_Leeming @margynewens @MPSDulwichWood The parking on that zebra crossing is completely out of hand. It's blocked with parked cars every evening and all day Saturday. It's really dangerous for pedestrians, particularly children who can't be seen waiting to cross.

⚠️ More drivers parking dangerously today on the zebra crossing outside @DulwichCollege @MPSDulwichVllge should be issuing 3pts+£100 but instead they are (checks tweet) dealing with the lesser risk of cyclists on a cycle lane on a pedestrianised square?! 🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ It begs(1/2)

@hollynessling @sharrond62 Back away quietly Holly! Imagine wanting to access childcare, shops, cafes, doctors etc within 15 minutes of your home! Insanity, I tell you.

Yeap & Meantime we’re going to get fined for travelling 15 mins from our house!

@RailtonLTN @RezinaChowdhury @lambeth_council While lots of trees is good, pear trees are tricky. The fallen fruit rots and cases a slip hazard. There's one on my road and it actually a bit of a pain.

Good news for Rattray road! Lots of new trees! Thanks @RezinaChowdhury @lambeth_council Apparently one is a pear tree!

@GreenPeterU @reece_dinsdale 2/2 the fact that so many women perceive and explain the risks to themselves should be enough to show that they exist. Everyone's rights, trans or not, need to be balanced.

@GreenPeterU @reece_dinsdale That may not be true though, depending on defining "being trans". If you include in that category sex offenders who try to get placed in women's prisons, or who misuse female-only spaces, then there are real risks. If those people aren't "trans" then self ID is the problem. 1/2

Not trying to be remotely antagonistic but I’m genuinely confused about this trans/woman thing. Don’t we have to live and let live? How does someone transitioning into a woman take away from a woman being a woman? Maybe I’m naive. 🤷‍♂️ No offence meant to anyone.

@bikesandbabies That sucks. Both the bike theft and lock-splaining. Losing a bike you rely on is horrible.

Oh guys. Please. Spare me the lock-splaining for at least half a day, ok?

Really starting to feel as though someone has really got it in for me

@Microlambert Twitter is not the forum to find out... Too diverse a set of needs. Try @TransportForAll as a starting resource.

@etta_collier Yes that first point is what I’m interested in. I don’t know enough about people’s various mobility needs to say, so it’s interesting to hear (as well as lots of excellent suggestions for making other transport more accessible)

🧠Thought experiment🧠 Imagine London had banned private cars some time ago, but all other forms of public and personal transportation still existed (except better, because no cars). What additional provision would be needed on top of that for people with reduced mobility?

@Fugstarnagar @ediz1975 @peterwalker99 The have. If the bus data you want isn't publicly available, you can do and FOI to get it.

@ediz1975 @peterwalker99 I wonder if TFL would make bus telemetry for the period available

Dear @peterwalker99 my buses were running 30 to 50 minutes early in London during this period due to lockdowns…… are you seriously gaslighting people into believing evaporation took place …… seriously wow …

@bobafet123 If she and the children go skiing, then they have appropriate clothes for the weather. So they don't have that excuse. It does seem contrary.

@EmmaBryn6 @AndrewMartinAHA @wonderfullyarty @TransportForAll have great resources and research about the impacts, positive and negative, of LTNs and active travel infrastructure transportforall.org.uk

@AndrewMartinAHA @wonderfullyarty So can you point me to evidence that improving active travel safety has had a negative impact on disabled peoples lives? I’m trying to understand here, it’s important lessons are learned if mistakes are made

Why do people get so angry at active travel consultations?

@conspiracycab1 @BobFromAccounts I think people just don't realise how efficient a cycle lane is. 750 cyclists an hour would look almost empty. The capacity is closer to 10k per hour. Around 3k per hour starts to look busy.

@BobFromAccounts That counter is like the rest of Khans transport policies- imaginary! 5000 a day? We had a week of snow so it’s probably nearer 7500 a day. Realistically, spread over a 10 hour day, that’s 750 an hour- no way!

Those ridiculous empty cycle lanes are at it again. Only 100000 journeys since the beginning of the year in mid-winter. Embarrassing. Embankment #CS3

@bikesandbabies Twitter cabbies have pushed me to this point as well. I just wouldn't get one now, and risk getting a driver with attitudes/views they share on here.

Ah, the taxi brigade are here to remind me why I don't ever get black cabs. Keep digging, lads.

@TomViolins Unfortunately when they last reviewed this junction and put in the left turn lane from Norwood Rd to Dulwich Rd, active travel wasn't a council priority. I've cycle commuted through that junction since 2004 and it's always been terrible. Definitely needs more attention.
