A superb article by @CPT_UK โs Alison Edwardโs in @passtrans this week.
๐ฌโยฃ200m invested in bus lanes & priority schemes would generate ยฃ1bn in economic benefitsโ
That sounds like a great deal - fingers crossed @simonlightwood & team are listening ๐ค
@OliverPridmore @nottslive This is absolute madness.
In the last 2years the tram lost >ยฃ80m why would we seek to create more of something so obviously unsustainable?
Bus rapid transit produces the same customer & economic benefit, at a fraction of the cost, in a fraction of the time & with flexibility
This was an amazing trip, cannot believe was got to spend time with these amazing creatures in the natural environment ๐๏ธ ๐ ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐ฒ๐ป โ๏ธ
๐ ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ ๐ Huge congratulations to James our comet driver for winning Driver of the Month for Nov with a perfect score of 62 ๐
A big well done also to our commendation winners
Great to celebrate our team! Just one of the measures which help keep our drivers the best in the land
We've been saying it for years - the only way to improve bus services is to sort out the highways networks.
Why is it that double yellow lines and box junctions are a high priority now the authority have skin in the game...

@JoeLocker96@LilianGreenwood@NadiaWhittomeMP@Notts_TV Great news! Hopefully they can now cancel the ridiculous TRO which would have brought taxi stands onto Carrington St conflicting with bus and cycle movements, reducing carriage way widths, and bringing havoc to a key link to the south of our city
Here we goโฆ
#CPT25 annual conference & kicking us off @simonlightwood Good to hear โone size doesnโt fit allโ & franchising isnโt the only option
In East Mids, through empowerment of partnership, not the shackles of franchising, we can go faster, bigger, better & cheaper
Today's the day! We're looking forward to hosting our members at today's CPT Conference and celebrating our sector at this evening's Annual Dinner.
If you're joining us, don't forget to use #CPT25 to get involved in the conversation online!
