Is this a sort of tattoo?
 

I haven't seen any comparison of effectiveness of face shields versus masks. They are being worn by hairdressers and similar now. In terms of protecting the wearer (though of course this is not what masks are really for) they might be better, as they shield the eyes as well. In terms of protecting others, they are open at the bottom, allowing droplets to fall unimpeded, but look as if they should be decent protection against coughs and sneezes. Maybe.

Good to see equipment reused and passengers getting information.

Talking of "information" and looking at the very first photo, perhaps a new phrase should be found to replace "in formation (Zones...)". Or was that just "train formation" being scrolled?

At the very instant I clicked on that, an IET^▸ (Intercity Express Train) was going by! Serendipity!

Nailsea makes an appearance in this thread.

Good looking bridge that one.

Was it a light goods service?

Yes, I saw the maps, which include a continuous bus lane on Anchor Road but I didn't see any of Lewins Mead. Nevertheless, I'm sure the "capacity reductions" there will also be a bus lane, presumably to be announced later. Anyway, I agree it's a good scheme – I'm actually rather impressed – and just hope that they deliver it on time.

They could have called it "WecaBus" but that sounds a bit too much like "wicker man".

Seems a decent model to use, for a very tightly defined centre. I didn't realise the closure of Bristol Bridge would include its junction with Baldwin St – that really does prevent through-traffic. I think the "left turn onto Wine St" on the map actually means "left turn onto High St"? Also, I wonder how successful the "Access only" to Union St will be, seeing as the same rule currently applied to the Horsefair in practice means "just picking up some shopping, that's allowed!" I'd guess it might make no difference to the Horsefair but reduce Union St traffic levels to those currently in the Horsefair plus buses and taxis.

The Brizle Post mentioned some capacity reduction measures in Lewins Mead and Maudlin Street but wasn't specific.

As an addition to Robin Summerhill's post on the centrality of Gloucester, I grew up in Stroud. Until my parents bought a car in 1983, we would go to Gloucester on the train; but if we went to Cheltenham, we would always take the bus, because Cheltenham station is not at all central whereas the buses go right into the middle of town.

What are its dates?

Thornbury, for passengers: Open 72 years, 1872-1944, closed 76 years and counting.

And in another sign of BCC^» (Bristol City Council - about)'s commitment to cycling and walking:

I expect there's a bit more to it but it doesn't seem like a good sign.

To me it means International Phonetic Alphabet. Given sufficient amounts of TonyK's IPA, this can become the Idiomatic Phonetic Ale.

They'll be making 10 journeys a week that are not discretionary. Okay, strictly speaking school is optional but then so is work.

Edit: I'd missed that journeys to school are free: but only under some circumstances. Does anyone know how many children in London this applies to (and how many actually claim it)?
