Conclusion
The takeaway is simple: to hit net zero, UK transport policy must prioritize modal shift. Reopening ready-made hubs like Ashford is a practical, high-impact step toward building a sustainable rail network that competes directly with aviation.

Same with #ActiveTravel - we have regs that make it harder to deliver safe infra, which in turn deters #ModalShift, which worsens congestion, which slows traffic…
The fundamental problem, and the dirty laundry that doesn't get talked about, is level of service - or more specifically, the specific clause of the Traffic Management Act (2004) that states local authorities have a legal obligation to "secure the expeditious movement of traffic".

While this is framed as #ModalShift from public transport to e-bikes/escooters rather than from private car use, it makes important points about disjointed schemes mitigating against this
Bus or Lime bike? New subscription joins the race for a cheaper commute
How we travel to work in cities might be changing as e-scooter and e-bike fares become cheaper than traditional public transport.

Yes, I can imagine that. My (MHEV) is much more efficient on long trips, but my dad ran an EV and reckoned it needed a very different driving style.
Inefficient of IEV on short journeys is of course is another reason why we should be encouraging walking & cycling for the shortest trips? #ModalShift

This is why we need continuous schemes and building safer junctions needs to be prioritised.
Continuous routes also encourage more #ModalShift than short discontinuous sections - should we be building “spinal” routes then build out from there?

#ActiveTravel @walkridegm.org.uk
Yep. The big problem is that in the UK a lot of schemes are not really thought about from the perspective of level of traffic stress (LTS). If even a single junction on a route is a level 4 (the highest), then the entire journey is a level 4; something only extremely confidence riders will do.

I was actually going to ask that.
Even a 10-20% #ModalShift away from driving would make our towns and cities much nicer, and over and over the evidence is clear - if you build it they will come.

Safer bike storage at train railway stations, tram interchanges and bus stations is a must if we want to encourage #ModalShift and transport #Decarbonisation
Labour has rejected my proposal for secure bike lockers at train stations, a simple step to make cycling safer.
I have resubmitted the proposal for the next stage.
In the meantime, I need your support.

I guess the question there is ‘to whom is NH accountable?’
If it’s not wasting money like this (and undermining #ModalShift by doing so), it’s wasting it on planting trees in landscaping, that then die.

Fietsbrug over Schelde in Antwerpen zal kosten wat ze moet kosten, ongeveer jaarbudget van alle andere fietsinfrastructuur in Vlaanderen. Brug heeft iets (11%) meer modalshift potentieel dan kabelbaan maar is drie keer duurder.
Zouden we dat budget niet beter investeren in openbaar vervoer?

Antwerpen, Zaventem en Leuven krijgen hogesnelheidstrein naar Duitsland
Er zijn plannen voor een nieuwe hogesnelheidstreinverbinding met Duitsland. Die zou vertrekken in Antwerpen, en via het station van Brussels Airport in Zaventem, Leuven en Luik rijden naar de Duitse steden Aken en Keulen. Dat blijkt uit een aanvraag die werd ingediend bij de regulator, het Federaal Agentschap voor Regulering van Transport.

However, if we could get #ModalShift from 10-20% of those who can but currently don’t walk, cycle, bus or car share it would make a big difference to availability of parking for those who need it, CO2 and staff health.
Free parking induces demand and mitigates against all of these things.
