🌃🚇 #London has been ranked Europe’s leading capital for the combined strength of its nightlife and public #transport, according to Time Out analysis of 5,848 people across 26 cities. A new report by Transport for London (TfL) and Time Out, marking 10 years of the Night Tube, highlights its impact on the capital’s night-time economy.
Research involving 200 Londoners found that 88 per cent have stayed out later because they knew public transport was running, while 77 per cent said knowing how they would get home influenced their choice of where to go. More than half believe nights out are increasingly spread across the capital rather than concentrated in central London.
Since launching in August 2016, Night Tube and Night Overground services have carried more than 67 million passengers. Demand has grown since the pandemic, with more than 81,000 journeys made on an average night, supporting #businesses, workers and #cultural venues across London.

#Irish #Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien has launched a Public Transport Safety Charter aimed at tackling anti-social behaviour and improving safety for passengers and staff across #Ireland.
Developed following consultation with transport operators, trade unions, passenger groups and An Garda Síochána, the Charter sets out a co-ordinated approach to improving security across the network.
Measures include improved lighting at stations and stops, enhanced CCTV, a visible security presence and clearer channels for reporting incidents. It also promotes zero tolerance of harassment, intimidation and abuse, including online.
The launch coincided with a new Government and Transport for Ireland campaign encouraging respect for staff and passengers. The Charter will also support plans to establish a Transport Security Force.

Bus use rose to 43% of adults, up from 39% in 2024, while train use increased from 31% to 33%. Meanwhile, 70% found transport costs affordable, compared with 64% in 2022.
Cars and vans accounted for half of all journeys, followed by walking at 28%. Shopping (22%) and commuting (17%) were the most common reasons for travel.

MAN, Munich's public #transport operator MVG and the city authorities are opening autonomous electric bus trials to passengers from 17 November. The 12-metre MAN Lion's City 12 E will operate on route 178 between Petuelring and Freimanner Hölzl, Monday to Friday, as part of the MINGA research project.
More than 2,000 people have already registered their interest. The trials will run until June 2027, with safety drivers remaining on board and ready to take control if necessary.
Passenger feedback will help assess safety, accessibility and public acceptance, with researchers from the Technical University of #Munich and the #University of #Stuttgart monitoring the results. The findings will help determine how #autonomous #buses could be integrated into regular public transport services.
The project brings together 16 partners from industry, research and public administration and has received around €13 million in federal funding.

#Transport for #Wales (TfW) has unveiled proposals to improve rail connections across #Swansea Bay and West Wales, including more frequent trains and potential new stations.
The plans cover two routes: Swansea to Pembrey & Burry Port, with up to two additional trains per hour and a possible new station at Cockett, and Swansea to Ammanford via Neath, with up to two new services per hour and seven potential stations.
Proposed infrastructure improvements include a new platform at Swansea, track and signalling upgrades and new rail connections. The schemes aim to make journeys to work, education, healthcare and leisure easier.
Both phases require further development and assessment and are not yet fully funded for delivery. Public engagement runs from 3 November to 13 December 2026, giving residents the opportunity to share their views and help shape the proposals.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
⦵ #TfL has disclosed invoice and approval records for a personalised roundel commissioned for Mayor Sadiq Khan. The invoice, dated 24 June 2026, shows a £500 purchase from A J Wells & Sons Vitreous Enamel, plus £100 VAT, bringing the total to £600. The item was described as a framed TfL rebated roundel bearing the reference Sir Sadiq Khan.
The SAP Ariba record shows the £500 requisition, titled Anniversary Roundel for Mayor, was submitted on 22 April 2026 and approved by Andrew Lord. The order was then transferred to TfL's ERP system and marked as received.
TfL redacted personal information under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act. It confirmed that it holds no records explaining the £500 valuation, establishing ownership of the roundel, or showing any reimbursement or external contribution.

#Transport for #London has launched Operation Vector, a targeted crackdown on persistent fare evasion across its network, working alongside the #British Transport #Police (BTP).
The intelligence-led operation has already seen 467 people stopped, 156 penalty fares issued, 175 reports submitted for possible prosecution and 24 arrests during its first month. Plain-clothes police officers work alongside revenue control and uniformed enforcement teams to identify and intercept repeat offenders, particularly those forcing their way through ticket barriers.
The initiative aims to deter fare evasion, improve compliance and help identify links to wider criminal activity. BTP officers have also seized weapons and drugs during the operation.
#TfL says fare evasion deprives the transport network of income that could be reinvested in services. The operation forms part of its wider strategy, launched in April 2025, to reduce fare evasion to 1.5 per cent or less by 2030/31.

All judicial review proceedings relating to the #Galway City Ring Road have been withdrawn following successful mediation, removing the need for a full High Court hearing and providing greater certainty over the project’s future.
The decision marks a significant step towards delivering the long-awaited scheme, which was designated critical infrastructure under the Critical Infrastructure Act 2026.
Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien welcomed the outcome, saying it would allow progress towards delivering a project of major importance to Galway and the wider western region.
Minister of State Seán Canney said the road would help ease city centre congestion, support public transport and active travel, and improve regional connectivity.
#Transport Infrastructure #Ireland chief executive Lorcan O’Connor described the withdrawal of the final judicial review as a significant milestone, adding that further steps were still required before the project could proceed.
