Reopened 8 hours ahead of schedule, perhaps they can takeover building of HS2 next: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-68593967

I wonder if it's one of those things that the "fear-striking" articles earlier on actually changed people's behaviour to lead to it being less serious than was being made out. The only way to find out is if for one of the following closures the reports are less dramatic and numerous and see if...

Former Lewis actor who in recent years has been known for leading the Reclaim party and holding strong views on "wokeness", cancel culture, etc. He also stood for London Mayor in 2021 but lost his deposit.

This to do list pretty much sums it up: (Image of multiple to do list items all crossed off and pointing to "Ride Bicycle" as the solution.)

Andy Parsons wouldn't like the idea of driverless taxis, as he won't be able to get his problems off his chest at them - he joked when talking about sharing problems that he does it to taxi drivers: firstly to stop them sharing their problems, and it's amazing how much quicker you get to your...

If autonomous vehicles take off then neither fuel duty nor pay per mile will raise much revenue at all; I can see a collapse in vehicle ownership as many drivers no longer need to have a car sitting idle for 90%+ its life, a fleet of these vehicles that can be called upon like a taxi service...

They might fight over the issue but the City Council elections last year saw no change in control of the Labour council, and actually say Green seats go up by 3, while no Tory seats exist. All while the LTN proposals date back at least 2 years, so this must have been a known issue. Presumably...

Of course if our public transport networks were much better designed and affordable, the "need" to "upgrade" motorways for more capacity would not be so demanding, but that's another discussion.

I remember while learning to drive asking once about how fines are dealt with in a learner situation, while waiting ahead of a yellow box junction, where the instructor revealed a dilemma they can have: during lessons the instructor can easily stop the car if the learner tries to enter a yellow...

The amount of money taken in tax from fuel you'd think they can afford to line the roads with gold, yet they are littered with potholes, sunken drains, cracks, etc. Therefore, more road tax(es) would not be a sure way of guaranteeing an improved public transport service as it seems at the moment...

As per the title, do any roadworks or closures at multiple locations have to be a minimum distance, except where one set arises in an emergency, in order to avoid compounding congestion? I've seen plenty of examples of two different sets of temporary traffic lights along the same road within a...

A number of paper's tomorrow have this sort of story on the front of it: https://www.tomorrowspapers.co.uk/ This strikes me as being a dead cat policy, and at the very least is unworkable for a number of reasons, not least the cycle hire scheme in London that a certain individual by the name...

ITV have uncovered the impact on P&O since the sackings in March, including a 92% reduction in usage on the Dover-Calais route, with other routes down by a distinct but smaller proportion...

Is it sensible to laugh at this latest incident: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60881550

This latest confession will cement that I think, with the P&O boss admitting to breaking the law: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60862933

The RMT Union are claiming the new workers are set to be paid the equivalent of £1.81ph, which if true is possible because the ships are registered in Cyprus, allowing avoidance of UK minimum wage: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60821266

The story has annoyed Brexit supporters, including Farage, and as you say, the undercutting of British workers in this way does not look good politically. I'm not sure what the RMT were thinking on that, but it may have had something to do with the horseshoe theory, where far left and far right...

He hasn't been, having sent this tweet earlier (he may have done media interviews that I'm not aware of): https://twitter.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1504890320617713667 The main voice in Labour on this issue so far has been Louise Haigh, who's the Shadow Transport Secretary.

Ministers are reviewing all P&O contracts across Government and Shapps is questioning if the move was legal: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60800520 UPDATE: Shapps and Kwarteng appeared to send letters to the Chairman who resigned in December last year...
