Such a pleasure to take part in this exciting online course on the future of #UrbanMobility after COVID19, organised by @OxfordTransport. Inspiring discussion today, the issue of #transportjustice came up a lot, in very different contexts.

@S_tiivi @LauraEllenDee I think the bad reputation they have developed and the time pressure they put on reviewers puts off many competent reviewers. I won't review for them again after my last experience.

[Thomas Verbeek @thverbeek]

@S_tiivi @LauraEllenDee The final rejection is a good thing. But it only happened because I was bothered to explain them
why I was disappointed with the process. I felt they hadn't read my first report. And in the meantime the authors had spent time on revisions assuming it was on track to acceptance.

[Thomas Verbeek @thverbeek]

@S_tiivi @LauraEllenDee Same here (Sustainability). Recommended rejection with an extensive review report, other 2 R's wrote two lines and recommended Accept and Major. Editor decided Major. Was asked to review again. Still had same flaws. Told them I wouldn't review again. Then they rejected it...

@railtraveller42 @virginbonobo @Eurostar I don't understand your question. Eurostar told me this in private message "Until 25th December only Belgian nationals or residents can travel with limited exceptions, a test is NOT required. From 26th December anyone can travel but any non-residents must have had a negative PCR"

[Thomas Verbeek @thverbeek]

@lmsatkin @Eurostar @EurostarUK @UKinBelgium I talked to someone on the phone and also got confirmation in private Twitter message that those travelling to Brussels do not need a negative test to travel before the 25th. They are aware of confusing information on the website and are looking into changing it.

@Eurostar @virginbonobo Belgium doesn't ask for a test until the 25th. See embassy's information https://t.co/NZGTyui456.
So can I travel tomorrow without a test? Please confirm otherwise I have to cancel.

[Thomas Verbeek @thverbeek]

@Eurostar Belgium only requires a negative test from the 25th December onwards, as per the official information of the embassy you are referring to. Can you confirm I can take the Eurostar from London to Brussels on the 24th without a test? Thanks!
