When will Birmingham's Cross City line return to a frequency of six trains per hour? New trains serving the new Camp Hill line haven't helped. This week the Transport Matter YouTube channel looks at possible solutions. Click on the link to view youtu.be/2_1HHjZw1v4

Sutton Coldfield used to have three stations. All were opened in the 1800s. One closed in the 1920s and another fell victim to the Beeching axe. Now only one remains. But where were lost stations? More on YouTube/Transport Matters - Click to the link view youtu.be/LCujSKWOaTc

I’m out in Metro-land today, and stopped off en-route at @tfl Ruislip as the train behind was @ltmuseum’s fully-restored 1938 Stock unit, doing trips on the Piccadilly. Every seat was taken! Great to see

This is the way EV charging should be. The @ElecHighway Electric Forecourt in Norwich. Fast charging and a place to relax while it’s all happening. Perfect!

Road pricing has been on and off the agenda for years, but this time I think there's little doubt it will come. #roadpricing #taxes2022 #electriccars lnkd.in/eVd_GFhE

What’s happening with the trams? I went out to Zaragoza to see them being built for the BBC. Similar vehicles been built for many other cities, so why are our trams suffering so many cracks? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bi…

I joined @TfL for Elizabeth line trial operations today. I’ve visited sites a couple of times (this is 1st I’m allowed to share pics of) but I must say: Britain might’ve waited a long time for it, but WOW this is urban transport done *right*. It will have been worth the wait.👏
