Sadly missed it but absolute credit to @lb-southwark.bsky.social running a 'Guided Cycle Consultation' where Officers actually got out & cycled with residents to consult changes. People saying it was the best consultation they've ever seen. FANTASTIC progress that every Council should copy.

Amid horrific violence it is clear the LNER train crew acted with incredible professionalism and bravery. The actions of the injured guard were heroic, and the coordination with blue lights to get to the best place for help to reach passengers was vital. Full respect for these workers. 🙏👏
