Really in-depth piece from @Kathryn_schoon_ with lots of insight from both a prominent local campaigner and the man in power who arguably has most ability to change things for the better with buses and trams in South Yorks. Recommended read.

[Now Then Magazine @nowthenmag]

In this long read, @kathryn_schoon_ talks about the history, present and possible future of public transport with campaigner @mjhtopham and Mayor @olivercoppard, and explores what people in South Yorkshire need from their bus and tram network.

I produced an #EasyRead version of my interview with @johnpringdns for @nowthenmag. It was a challenging one because of the difficult content, but so important because learning-disabled people aren't immune to contact with the DWP.

This quietly transformative project is headquartered just up the road from us in Barnsley.
