We can't afford not to at least look into a project like this. I can cite #ClimateChange and #NetZero pledges all day, but let's get down to the bones of it - quick, congestion-separated public transport adds value in so many ways other than just a quick route from A to B.

I acknowledge that roads are important - but we need to be thinking ahead to a world with less cars on the roads and more people taking transit and #cycling in #Gloucestershire. Permanent infrastructure changes attitudes very quickly - just look at the #ElizabethLine.

This platform is like a space dock for the enterprise! #elizabethline

A delightful romp—or should I say glide—through four of Greater London’s fascinating but less touristy districts, following the magnificent, one year-old Elizabeth Line.

Is there any research on who uses London's #ElizabethLine? Is it attracting people away from cars? Or away from the Tube? Or new users who wouldn't otherwise be making a journey?

The #elizabethline is really nice! #London

First time back in #London since <checks notes> The Before Times. So, inevitably... #ElizabethLine #CrossRail 😍

Yesterday, I travelled on the Elizabeth line in London for the first time. Here's a photo of the Elizabeth line station at Canary Wharf.

2022: The Best Photography Bits (Day 9).

Merry #Christmas Eve!

Earlier this year, and many would say "finally", London's new #ElizabethLine opened in all its futuristic glory, so I took a trip with my camera on its first day and spoke to quite a lot of enthusiasts as I travelled from Paddington to Canary Wharf. I spoke to quite a few people including the staff in their new branded high-vis, and a couple who took their dog with them on the journey.

The #ElizabethLine cost more than the #2012Olympics, but most users will approve.
