Last Friday the ORR published its draft determination for the next control period for Britain's rail infrastructure. The conclusion shape the approach and expected outcomes from operating, maintenance and renewal. Here I reflect…https://t.co/oVpo2fISsL https://t.co/No2BElRKg8

One of the drivers of today’s disappointing news on UK rate of inflation was second hand car values. Here colleague Alex sets the scene for the emerging second had electric vehicle market. It’s almost as worrying as the inflation news, especially for the…https://t.co/JD4GhsOVvA

Transport and its associated infrastructure are a means to an end. Designed, operated and maintained well such things can contribute to the wellbeing of individuals as well as enable greater community cohesion and inclusion, biodiversity and environmenta…https://t.co/44LOSSnUCw

Warning another nerdy picture post of a railway station - keep scrolling if not your thing! Delft’s new station provides an impressive entrance to historic and characterful city. A large bus interchange on its forecourt, wide and uncluttered platforms, an…https://t.co/X95653uRk8

It's nice to be trusted especially with the big things in life. The things that don't happen frequently and are globally visible. The things that have multiple moving parts, dependencies and conflicts. The things that need analytical rigour and experie…https://t.co/qDqkiBhshY

There are many challenges to achieving Net Zero and some of these will be met by behaviour change and others with new technologies. One particular technology, much talked about but arguably in its infancy in a modern form, is hydr…https://t.co/lzP4Kf0crz https://t.co/y1jTwudEqE

"A bit of left, a bit of right" - no this isn't a Eurovision song but rather Steer's Alex Georgianna's commentary on navigating investment in the new asset class of EV charging infrastructure. Whilst there is uncertainty about public charging infrastruct…https://t.co/olE9WdW2ya

There are many common challenges that the Steer family faces into, and one of those is ensuring our work draws-in, engages with and co-creates, and presents solutions that are equitable for the communities that our clients serve. With Fourth Economy part…https://t.co/jw9eZxtE4K

A recent visit to The Hague and thought I’d share these pics for Den Haag Centraal - clean, accessible, interchange (elevated LRT), permeable, natural light and with adjacent commercial development. Lots of like for a railway station was my impression #ra…https://t.co/uFl7ujUQ6d

A weekend trip to Louwman Museum in The Hague re-enforced that the challenges of adapting the technology of our vehicles have been navigated before but there were many false starts and not all businesses would survive. Last week my colleague Alex Georgian…https://t.co/ANJACwrVj8

What does $1.5 trillion get you? Just perhaps a charging network for the globe. The challenge? it's a new asset class whose characteristics are still yet to fully emerge and be understood by investors and promoters.

The changing nature of our real estate is a very live issue. Steer has supported Canary Wharf's evolution over the last 3 decades. Their journey offers parallels for the faster evolution much of our town and city real restate is likely to go through as…https://t.co/Gq5jJjAhFH

Do you want your chicken or egg first?

The argument that without public charging infrastructure the vision and pace of adoption of ZEVs will be materially harmed is a logical assertion to make. However, at Steer we take a more…https://t.co/drBJzSwxOl https://t.co/ax1EIhsqMk

Day 2 of our myth busting series and a second myth exposed! The reality of costs comparison isn't nearly as powerful on EV adoption as you might think. Steer colleague Alex argues why this is the case in this 2 minute read. #elec…https://t.co/gfoFUbbi8g https://t.co/MhJt1feKhB

Further to my post on Friday here is Alex's first article and busted myth about electric vehicle adoption. Consumer preference is important but it isn't the biggest single driver and it isn't the provider of the investor confidenc…https://t.co/fKp0NMg3jB https://t.co/lxb7WCpP2c

Back from an Easter break and caught this BBC article on the development of colourful mosaic outside London Bridge Station (https://t.co/K44zkfQ33U) - an illustration of the type of care and fun I was alluding to in my recent post. https://t.co/qYQa8Nihu4
