A group's calling on the chancellor to use the budget as an opportunity to reform aviation tax.
@CBTransport say they want to see airlines contribute to the cost of tackling climate change.
They're also suggesting a frequent flyer levy and a higher rate of Passenger Duty for private jets.
Airlines UK says it would risk putting flying out of reach for ordinary UK families.

Last week was the first annual Time for Trams conference, organised by @createstreets, @CBTransport and @landor_links. It was a hopeful, cautiously optimistic day but there's work to be done. My overview of the conference here:

From this weekend, if your train is cancelled, you can get on another operator’s service and carry on your journey without paying again.
This simple, common sense change puts passengers first.

The bereaved families of military personnel should always be at the heart of our acts of remembrance as a nation.
The extension of free rail travel to next of kin on national rail services to events between 7 and 8 November is the right thing to do.
This is the first time this has been made available and builds on the existing free travel offer for serving personnel and veterans.
I am proud this Government is acting to make our national acts of remembrance a little easier for those for whom the day is so deeply personal.

Transport is responsible for more carbon emissions than any other sector.
We need a modal shift towards rail and other sustainable forms of transport – alongside real action to grow rail freight ⬇️

Few British holidays quite rival a scenic rail route that skirts the coast.

The UK Prime Minister's commitment to bringing London-style integrated ticketing to #England is welcome news.
Our team has spent decades designing and delivering simpler, joined-up public transport, using technology to deliver seamless tap-in, tap-out journeys with fare capping and built-in best-price calculations. #Oyster and many integrated ticketing programmes worldwide prove it.
Earlier this year, together with @CBTransport and industry stakeholders, we explored what national integrated ticketing looks like in practice.
The resulting white paper, Tap to the Future, set out practical recommendations for delivering a nationally coherent system while giving local transport authorities the flexibility to set policies that work for their regions.
We've done the policy thinking with a proven technology solution. Now, we're excited to work with the Government to deliver better transport systems across England.
