CycleStreets, Kamoot, OpenCycleMap, but possibly not Google.

Google are trying (?) to improve things in London https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-29/google-goog-maps-for-cyclists-transport-for-london-tfl-to-boost-service?srnd=premium-uk

At least TfL^» (Transport for London - about) has some infra, not sure how successful in other places.

The experts acknowledge it is not easy, but the London Cycling Campaign gives Google cycle routing a firm thumbs down.

My concern with this is that there is some flexibility in the existing system which might be lost in any "simplification".

I noticed next to my first link "How to behave on a Swiss train" https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/society/swiss-train-etiquette/44854438 and how many Swiss would travel to UK^▸ (United Kingdom) more than once by train as I think you could say that our etiquette does not match their standards.

This would obviously be an issue at UK end.

Sleeper trains through the Channel Tunnel?

But what about the newts?

And now on the Beeb https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c802d1e9g7wo

The buses are going to be hourly, but the trains are half hourly. Do they even meet the alternate trains, or is this another could do better of inter-modal travel.

Is 1. possibly Crumlin? Long since demolished.

This does not apply only to transport, but to every aspect of public (and a lot of private) funding. This was supposed to be the objective (?) of the levelling-up programme.

I hope not. Councillor Tony Page is supposed to be retiring next year, so might put paid to some of the hair brained schemes. Good job he is not at national level otherwise he would be a rival to Boris for assorted airport, bridge and tunnel schemes.

and unbuilt, frequently?

Which Seaside?

None exactly strike me as bucket and spade territory!

I believe that the road to Green Park station is a Restricted Local Access Street (presumably unadopted) the council, Reading Buses and GWR^▸ (Great Western Railway) are limited to what they can do on/with it in terms of signage etc.

Possible addition to the daily woes. Major water main burst on Bath Road in Reading, between Castle Hill and Southcote roundabout. Flooding beyond the railway bridge so don't know if it will be affecting the line between Reading West and Southcote junction. This is likely to be one of the two major pipes that feed Reading from the west, so they wont fix this quickly, don't know if we are going to end up on bottled water. It has made it onto AA Roadwatch but not One.network.

Interesting.

Section 3.1.1



So is really about 200,000 km are am I missing something obvious?

I will read on.
