  1. #Transport for #London Have Your Say:

    🚲 #TfL is consulting on proposals to extend #Cycleway 9 between Syon Park and #Hounslow town centre. The scheme would create about 3km of segregated #cycling routes, upgrade 22 pedestrian crossings, improve side-road and junction safety, widen footways and add planting where possible.

    The proposals cover London Road and High Street, with new cycle tracks, bus stop bypasses, raised crossings and improved pedestrian facilities. Some bus stops, parking spaces and road layouts would change, while modelling suggests journey times could rise by up to three minutes for general traffic and 100 seconds for buses at peak times.

    The scheme responds to safety concerns, with 126 collisions recorded over the latest three years, including 37 involving cyclists, 25 involving pedestrians and 25 causing serious injuries. Some trees may need removal, with replacement planting considered. Feedback is invited by Monday 19 October 2026.

  2. Bus services in St Helens have returned to public control for the first time in almost 40 years, with the #Liverpool City Region Combined Authority now responsible for routes, timetables and service standards.

    Passengers are benefiting from more frequent services, improved evening and weekend connections, a new express link to Liverpool John Lennon Airport and a fleet of new low-emission #Metro #buses.

    The changes include capped single fares, the £2.20 MyTicket for under-19s, USB charging, improved accessibility and stricter standards for reliability, punctuality and cleanliness.

    St Helens is the first area in the city region to adopt bus franchising. Wirral is due to follow later this autumn, with Liverpool, Knowsley and Sefton expected to join by the end of 2027.

    The move is part of Mayor Steve Rotheram’s plans for a greener, affordable and better-connected transport network, supported by major investment including the new St Helens #Transport Interchange.

  3. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A £2 single bus fare cap has been launched across Strathclyde, aiming to cut everyday travel costs and encourage public #transport use in the west of #Scotland. The scheme covers #Glasgow, Ayrshire, Inverclyde, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, and Dunbartonshire through participating operators.

    The rollout forms the next stage of the #Scottish Government’s plan to expand affordable travel beyond the Highlands and Islands towards a nationwide £2 limit. Speaking on the launch, First Minister John Swinney noted that bus travel remains Scotland’s most popular form of public transport, highlighting the cap as a key measure to support households during the cost of living crisis while driving economic growth and sustainable travel.

    Transport Scotland has published a list of participating bus operators, which will be updated as more join. The Scottish Government intends to introduce legislation to implement a permanent national £2 cap by the end of the parliamentary term.

  9. #Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:

    #TfL has released its Complaints Handling Procedure following an FOI request for its policy on customer complaints against staff. The procedure says complaints should be taken seriously, investigated fairly and resolved promptly, with lessons used to improve services.

    Complaints can be made in person, online, by phone, post or social media. TfL says complaints should be acknowledged within 48 hours and normally receive a full response within 10 working days. Cases can be escalated to a manager, particularly those involving serious incidents, health and safety or reputational risks.

    Where a complaint concerns an individual staff member, details of action taken remain confidential under data protection rules. Dissatisfied customers can refer complaints to London TravelWatch or the Local Government Ombudsman. TfL also analyses complaints to identify wider service issues.

    If there's an application form for the job of Minister for Transport, it needs to have the candidate's middle name pre-filled with "Gunzel".
