Using insights from data collected during live disruptions in UK my new blog reflects on a case from NYC on how best to fix infrastructure to both reduce costs and traveller disruption. Odd that we fix so much infra and don't know this @Disruptionproj

What are the potential trade offs between a shorter, full shutdown of the #LTrain versus the planned slowdown? Find out in our latest blog post by project member @DrGregMarsden #ldupnyc ldup.nyc/post/shutdown-versu…

Secretive billionaire Robert Mercer, who funded Trump and co-founded Cambridge Analytica, is suing Channel 4 over his portrayal in Brexit documentary I’m sure he’d hate it if you RT this link with more detail of his activities: badboysofbrexit.com/2017/12/… inews.co.uk/culture/televisi…

The internet is down at work. Right social occasion happening now! Never heard so much talking! If it didn’t have work to do before going home this would be awesome!

Get very tired of this lazy criticism - eg whole massive network of politics researchers associated with @UKandEU have been doing public events and media work continuously for years on Brexit. Massive conference on public opinion in C London just last week...

UK universities have many brilliant political academics but too many are cloistered away, talking to (or writing for) each other. We need more of their insights & research feeding in public debate. ie: QMU's Philip Cowley and Kent's Matthew Goodwin (below).

We conducted a research project on radical disruption to change travel behaviour - based on adaptive capacity of society. Policy makers told us this was a non-starter. So that's that eh?? Cabinet Office compares no-deal Brexit to Iceland ash cloud chaos theguardian.com/politics/201…

Pleased to announce that "The Curious Death - and Life? of British Transport Policy" is now published in Environment and Planning C with @iaindocherty @jillian_anable and Jon Shaw. Planning without a plan - what does that tell us about policy? journals.sagepub.com/eprint/…

News from the event I didn't go to today (held at UUK offices) "Students are protesting outside Woburn House, are blocking all entrances and are expecting to stay all day". Amazing student support. #USSstrike #ucustrike

Article suggests this could cause chaos in German cities. I'm not aware of any permanent LEZ that has created chaos. Nor would our research expect it to @Disruptionproj #fleximobility German court rules cities can ban diesel cars to tackle pollution theguardian.com/environment/…

Replying to @GlennLyons2
Our work from @Disruptionproj showed that those people most frequently affected by bad weather were more likely to adapt rather than just not travel. Indicative of broader skills/experience of doing this
