  1. Once again, pre Brexit warnings of what was likely to happen to the British haulage industry were ignored, dismissed as scaremongering and ‘operation fear’. Now it is reported that twice as many haulage businesses are going bust since Brexit. #haulage #RejoinEU #BrexitDisaster #SingleMarket

  2. Key Highlights from the #London Assembly #Transport Committee Agenda – 9 December 2025:
    A report due for consideration on 9 December 2025 shows that, despite #TfL introducing measures such as new bus lanes and priority traffic signals, average bus speeds across London have continued to fall since the 2020/21 Assembly year.
    The committee also reviewed road space, driving and congestion at its 12 November session, taking evidence from #Logistics #UK, the Road #Haulage Association and Future City Logistics. Witnesses highlighted the sharp rise in home parcel deliveries and the strain this places on London’s road network. They noted difficulties in distinguishing delivery vehicles from tradespeople’s vans, described as ‘mobile toolboxes’. Low public uptake of parcel lockers was said to fragment deliveries and reduce efficiency. The meeting ended with an agreement for further data on decarbonising road logistics and potential improvements to London Plan policies.

    Explain it to me like I am an EU citizen:

    There is a haulier from Southampton, a city in Britain, which famously is NOT IN THE EU. And he expects the EU to give up protecting its borders and relax its Schengen rules, so his trucks can make money by driving MORE in the EU than in his own country.

  4. Dozens of truck drivers from Georgia and Uzbekistan went on strike in Germany and won. Here’s how.

    Workers overcame language barriers to demand Lukaz Mazur’s haulage companies paid them what they were owed.

  5. Longer lorries to be allowed on Britain's roads

    Bad move. The UK is small, not designed for juggernauts.

    Increased problems for cyclists, pedestrians, narrow lanes and villages.

    Cut the carbon footprint. Avoid transportation as much as possible. Use rail or go local.

    "Ministers insist they are safe". Yeh, right. They say many things to get their way.
