Transport Secretary has signed deal with Swiss government to develop a direct rail link between the two countries. It aims to address the barriers to direct rail services, establish border controls and meet Channel Tunnel safety rules. So mostly the French then… 🤣.
Superb local authority leadership. Reduce journey times, congestion, emissions and generate returns - of all kinds - that benefit everyone. Hope there is a lot more of this

@SW_Help please may I ask your advice - next weekend I’m travelling WIN-WAT on 9/2 when there are bus replacements; am I ok to use an off peak return to do the whole journey via SOU instead? (Ie go WIN->SOU and SOU->WAT, so I’m on trains the whole way). Thank you

A fun thread on one of the many areas for improvement in the North's infrastructure. A fun bonus fact I suspect Tom will come on to is that this train connecting huge cities can only ever be two carriages long. No longer. Because of capacity constraints at Leeds. – at Leeds, England

Always nice to have a letter in @FarmersWeekly
No one’s pretending that reducing emissions from farming and land use is easy, but it’s much better than the alternative
And done well (and early), there are lots of opportunities for win-wins

It's tourism, it's health, it's leisure, it's transport independence to get to school. This is what good looks like, and it's what everyone deserves. 👇
