This weather is messing with the poor medlar tree! Autumn colours, fruit, and spring blossom!

Buffet prices on the Regiojet #train between #Vienna and #Budapest are beyond reasonable!

Can anybody who lives in a hot country share what (if anything) vegetation is planted in the verges, particularly narrow verges?

Have #EastWestRail overlooked public transport accessibility in their designs for the closure of the #LondonRoad #rail #levelCrossing in the centre of #Bicester? Stops and turning areas either side will be necessary as buses won't be provided with a means to cross the railway.

Hit by a driver not paying attention. Fortunate the consequences were not more serious. A reminder that bikes and vehicles don't really mix.

Quick review of @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social 's brand new half-Dutch junction, something that #Bicester Bike Users' Group has been campaigning on for years. It opened this week. First point is that it's primary purpose is to significantly increase vehicle capacity in advance of new development.

Council has funding from ATE for segregated walking & cycling paths. Currently there is a 0.5m buffer, but they say it's not wide enough to grow anything in. Any established, or creative, solutions to adding some greenery?

A new cycleway proposed for Bicester will “follow the latest national cycling standards with cyclists separated from motor vehicles”, Oxfordshire County Council has pledged. It is proposing cycle tracks along London Road from the town centre out to the A41, then along the A41 for a mile.

@chilternrailway.bsky.social @chilternrailway.bsky.social first off peak train to London over half term where tickets are £1 for kids rather than £40 and train is a miserly 2 coaches. Of course it's standing room only already in Oxford. 😢

Could somebody please explain to me why they think this sort of Dutch pedestrian and cycle crossing arrangement would be illegal in the UK?

Anybody aware of a priority give way design (see below) combined with a pedestrian crossing?

WATCH THIS! "There IS life on Earth!" If you haven’t seen this amazing (and prescient) 1964 Oscar-nominated short film via the National Film Board of Canada on car culture, DROP EVERYTHING and enjoy it. Then discuss, and share it. This has been so obvious for SO long!

Cutting edge cycling infrastructure from the Oxfordshire County Council highways team!

I don't feel this is communicating the message as clearly as it might

@philsturgeon.bsky.social engineers for new road scheme say we can't have trees as there is a BT fibre conduit running along road. Surely there is some tree with predictably spreading roots that won't interfere?
