#Transport for #London is introducing regulations for pedicabs in the capital for the first time, to be phased in over the next year. Under the #Pedicabs (London) Act 2024, drivers and operators must be licensed and vehicles meet safety standards, including regular checks, licence identifiers and a ban on external audio. Drivers will need enhanced DBS checks, appropriate driving credentials, medical clearance and to meet English language requirements. #TfL also plans to cap fares from October, with a proposed £5 base rate, £1 per minute and up to £3 per extra passenger. Licences are expected to become mandatory for drivers and operators from 30 October 2026, and for vehicles from February 2027, following a transition period.

#London #Transport (LT) News (No. 23 - March 1 1974) clipping:
The article reported on the arrival of the MCW Metropolitan prototype, NVP 533M, for evaluation by London Transport. While LT had already run six single-deck Scania models from Dalston on route S2, focus turned to the new double-decker, seen as a likely standard bus for the next decade.
Built by Metro-Cammell with #Scania, it had a rear 11-litre engine rated at 210 bhp and a fully automatic gearbox for stop-start work. Air suspension improved ride comfort. At 14ft 6in high and nearly 32ft long, it also featured strengthened bodywork.
Noise levels were reduced to a subdued murmur. Large windows and built-in heating improved conditions for passengers. Seating 74 under one-person operation, it impressed engineers at Chiswick Works with its modern controls, better visibility than older types, and accessible engine layout.

The #BusConnects #Ireland Preliminary Design Report set out a methodology for reviewing bus stop locations and design to improve safety, accessibility and efficiency. Stops were assessed to maximise catchment areas, meet passenger demand and maintain appropriate spacing, generally approximately 400m in suburban areas and 250m in urban centres. Locations were required to ensure visibility, proximity to key facilities, safe interchange and adequate space for shelters and footpaths. High-quality infrastructure, including real-time passenger information and cycle parking, was specified. Capacity planning considered bus bays and passing lanes where services were frequent. The process included data gathering, GIS catchment analysis, permeability review, public consultation and interchange assessment. 🇮🇪🚏🚌🚍

#ScotRail fares will be frozen for the next 12 months as part of efforts to ease the cost of living, First Minister John Swinney has announced. The freeze applies to all tickets, including season tickets and Flexipass. It follows the permanent removal of peak fares across ScotRail services, which reduced some prices by up to 48%.
Speaking at #Edinburgh Waverley, Mr Swinney said the move aims to keep more money in people’s pockets as households continue to face rising food and energy bills.
#Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop said the freeze would help maintain rail’s affordability and appeal. She said #Scotland became the only part of the #UK to scrap peak fares last year, describing it as the biggest rail fares reform in decades.

The #Scottish #Government has accepted in full 11 recommendations aimed at strengthening safety and tackling antisocial behaviour on the rail network.
A report by the Rail Enforcement Powers Working Group, involving operators, trade unions and police, examined how existing powers are used and where they could be improved. It considered fixed penalty notices, repeat offending, protection for rail staff, youth justice and railway byelaws.
Measures already under way include replacing ScotRail’s blanket #alcohol ban with time-limited restrictions and progressing legislation to increase antisocial behaviour fines and widen the use of fixed penalty notices. Work will also look at consistent enforcement and closer partnership between #ScotRail, councils and police.
Longer-term options, including enhanced protections for rail workers and possible legislative changes, will now be assessed by officials.
