Plans for the £100m #Liverpool #Baltic station have been approved, paving the way for improved connectivity in one of the city’s most vibrant areas. Set on Merseyrail’s Northern Line in the Baltic Triangle, the new station will feature step-free access, modern facilities, and strong links to active travel networks. Highways work begins in autumn 2025, with station construction starting in early 2026 and opening expected by late 2027. Backed by public support and funded through the City Region Sustainable #Transport Settlement, the project supports Mayor Steve Rotheram’s vision for a fully integrated, London-style transport system. It complements wider improvements including a new train fleet, station upgrades, and future stations at Daresbury, Woodchurch, and Carr Mill. The station aims to cut congestion, support net-zero targets, and boost access to jobs, education, and opportunity across the Liverpool City Region.

I have so many pictures I forget I have them! This is the same bus from the photo I posted the other day - the one with the red jacket! ✨
On a completely unrelated note, if anyone could tell me how to use Mastodon I would be very grateful! I've made an account and I am confused. Thank you! 😂✨

#London #Transport (LT) News (No. 24 - March 22 1974) clipping:
LT addressed the 1974 oil crisis by exploring alternative fuels and energy-saving measures. Experts reported that North Sea oil could stabilise #UK fuel prices for over 50 years, though cheap oil was gone for good. Diesel buses remained the most viable option, but LT researched battery and electric alternatives. The Underground aimed to cut energy use with regenerative braking. Natural gas was chosen to replace oil at Greenwich power station. Meanwhile, LT upgraded staff facilities, including a £15,000 transformation of New Cross garage canteen, marking a return to leading industrial catering standards.

Clipping from LT News - No. 24 - March 22 1974: The image is a scanned page from a newspaper dated 22 March 1974, spread across two pages numbered 6 and 7. It consists of several columns of black text on a yellowed background, accompanied by black and white photographs. The main headline, "WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE OIL RUNS OUT?" is prominently displayed on the left side alongside an image of an offshore oil rig. To the right of this headline is an image of a technician working with electronic equipment. Below this is a photo of a nuclear power station building. The top left corner begins with an introductory blurb discussing the oil crisis and its implications for London Transport staff. Several smaller photos depict individuals with captions introducing them. At the right side, an article titled "New Cross first with the new look" focuses on a lounge area, featuring images of a new restaurant interior and people gathered at a counter.

#Mellor has launched its next-generation Strata, a UK-built small bus that redefines #accessibility, comfort, and sustainability in passenger #transport. Building on the success of the 2016 model, the new Strata features a redesigned rear saloon with fewer steps, increased headroom, an extended low-floor area for up to 12 seats and space for two wheelchairs, plus optimised seating layouts for greater capacity. Built on the #Mercedes #Sprinter platform, it includes advanced GSR2 driver assistance systems and is fully PSVAR-compliant with modern passenger information and accessibility features. Certified as a Low-Emission Bus, it delivers up to 22mpg, qualifies for BSOG support, and offers a low cost of ownership. Available in three configurations—Strata, Plus, and Ultra—accommodating 22 to 30 passengers, it has a 2.3m width and 17m turning circle, ideal for rural and suburban routes. The Strata Ultra will be showcased at the ALBUM Conference from 12–14 May 2025.

The image shows a white minibus with a Mercedes-Benz logo on the front, driving along a tree-lined street. The vehicle is marked with vibrant, colourful stripes in hues of green, yellow, orange, pink, and blue along its side, adding a lively contrast to the otherwise neutral colour of the bus. Large windows dominate its side, offering a clear view of the interior. The word "STRATA" is visibly printed on the side of the bus. In the background, bare tree branches suggest a setting either in late autumn or early spring, casting intricate shadows on the pavement. A row of buildings with classic architecture is partially visible through the trees.
The image depicts the interior of a modern public bus, featuring a spacious and well-lit environment. The seating arrangement includes rows of seats with dark upholstery patterned with small, light dots, arranged along the sides and the middle aisle. Bright green handrails run along the length of the bus on both sides, contrasting with the neutral tones of the seats and the light grey flooring. Large windows on the sides allow ample natural light to flood the space, enhancing the bright and airy atmosphere. There is a designated area for wheelchairs at the front left, indicated by accessible signage. The overall design is functional and clean, emphasising accessibility and comfort for passengers.

Several rows of seats are visible, with some facing forwards and others placed opposite each other. The bus features large windows allowing natural light to fill the interior. Overhead, a clean, white ceiling includes small circular lights and ventilation units. Bright green and yellow poles provide support for standing passengers and feature buttons for stop requests. The view outside the windows reveals a blurred landscape with trees and a fence, suggesting the bus is in motion or parked near a park.

#Salford Central station will reopen on Wednesday 23 April following the first phase of a £10m upgrade led by #Transport for Greater #Manchester (TfGM) to improve accessibility and passenger experience. Originally due to reopen on 21 April, the delay allows Northern to complete final safety checks. Closed since 10 February, the station now features a new roof, wider platform 2, upgraded ticket office, improved signage, and information points, with further enhancements—such as accessible toilets and braille maps—planned. Until reopening, valid rail tickets can be used on #BeeNetwork buses between Salford Crescent, Salford Central, and key city centre stations. Additional closures are scheduled for Sunday 27 April and Sunday 4 May, and passengers are advised to plan ahead.

“Traditionally, #Queensland candidates, whether federal or state, promise to take the fight to #Canberra. They project themselves as defiantly parochial, unashamedly maroon, with a vested interest in the north. More recently, however, #power has shifted from the #regions to the #urban south-east, which is more likely to welcome new #arrivals from other states than Queensland country towns. Amid all this growth, the lines of #responsibility have blurred between federal, state and even local government. Rather than fighting Canberra, the parties – including the Greens, who thrive on street-level combat – have taken to #fighting each other.

At the last election, the #Greens picked up three seats in Greater #Brisbane, riding the winds of change. The #TealMovement was unsuccessful in its first federal foray into Queensland, in the seat of Groom, although Suzie Holt enjoyed a healthy flow of preferences and is running again.

For now, the closest thing Queensland has to #independents are Bob Katter and Gerard Rennick, but the south-east is becoming used to newcomers.”

The government plans to spend £117,000,000 on old people’s homes during the next ten years. By 1972 it is hoped that more than 1,000 new residential homes for elderly people will have been built. The number of people aged over 65 is expected to increase by one third in the next twenty years.

Reflections on a Rainy Day / Riflessioni su un Giorno di Pioggia

While waiting to go to the dentist I saw this bus stopped with nobody in it and I liked the way the rain was beaded on the windscreen. Stroke of luck was this person in a cool red jacket and umbrella. Second stroke of luck, my dentist let me leave with all my teeth. Pretty good day if you ask me! ✨
