SEJ says claims LTNs help the climate is 'greenwashing' as Government admits it has no evidence they cut the number of miles driven, and therefore cut climate emissions. Government adds cutting miles driven is not the purpose of LTNs.

The government has been accused of “greenwashing” a key part of its active travel policy after the Department for Transport said it could give no evidence that

Here are the actual London crash data published by the DfT. Killed and serious cycling injuries have risen since @willnorman became the @MayorofLondon’s Cycling Commissioner in 2016. He implies the opposite. @ZoeBillingham @EllyBakerAM @DaveHill
Today at the 2025 London Walking, Wheeling and Cycling Conference - @willnorman thanks LCC activists! The data clearly shows that all our tireless work is improving our city and saving lives: crash stats, air quality improvements, mode shift, Mastercard spend data 🥳

Read this well-informed article by @VincentStops on the reasons for the decline in London's bus services. https://t.co/2bMeum1AVB

A new Transport for London advertising campaign does not reflect the gloomy reality of its own performance figures

We are big supporters of buses - and there is much that is good in this bill - but the plans for floating bus stops are a cop out: making Active Travel England responsible for auditing bus stop bypasses & working with councils to ‘educate cyclists’.
Our Bus Services Bill just passed its 3rd reading in Parliament. Once law it will: 🚏Protect bus services & routes 🚍Empower local leaders to take back control of buses 🦺Increase safety of passengers and staff 📈Improve access to opportunities as part of our Plan for Change

So @simonlightwood has made @activetraveleng responsible for auditing bus stop bypasses & working with councils to ‘educate cyclists’. Yeah, that’ll fix it.🥺Just an insult to all the disabled people who no longer catch buses fearing for their safety. #DiscriminationByDesign

And thanks also @uklabour MP @FloEshalomi for speaking up in support of @MarshadeCordova in asking for a review of these floating bus stops and citing the problems for people trying to get to Guys Hospital via the inaccessible stop on Westminster Bridge in her constituency.

@bitbat2000 @flickhwilliams @Seaofchangefilm @lukejcr @YorkDisability @VincentStops @PocklingtonHub This bus stop is also a problem. The photo was taken close on the Headrow close to the Central Libary. It’s a two way floating bus stop, it simply does not work for bus passengers and certainly does not work for blind people.

This is a good scheme planned by Transport for London. Will provide useful new links. Aims to support new homes and jobs, and reduce road congestion, mainly by restoring passenger services and adding new stations along the route.

'Cars kill more people on the rds every yr than bikes. Many pedestrians also don’t wait for the green man to cross. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be angry with those cyclists who now seem to think red lights are optional.' Good Times piece on the lawlessness of many cyclists

@VincentStops @Meg_HillierMP @FeryalClark @lukeakehurst @steveracemp @danfrancis02 @MarshadeCordova The same bus stop from a different angle. Not wide enough for a wheelchair user to wait for a bus without sitting in the cycle track. Wait on the pavement beyond & bus driver won’t see you to stop. Shelter, flag & bin restrict deployment of ramp. #AccessFail

Got off this bus in Leeds without realising my🦼and I were in a cycle lane. With ramp deployed it’s impossible to be anywhere else nor to see 🚴♀️ coming from inside the bus. Dangerous infrastructure that needs to be halted by Bus Services (No 2) Bill on Wednesday.#TakingTheDis

Designing bus stops around the needs of cyclists is so so stupid. The SoS Transport will whip Labour MPs to support it next week. @Meg_HillierMP @FeryalClark @lukeakehurst @steveracemp @danfrancis02 @MarshadeCordova

A major study published today found up to half of e-bike riders, e-scooter riders and cyclists ignored traffic signals at junctions in London, Manchester and Glasgow last month https://t.co/y4bTc8aqbU

How to fudge traffic count data. An illustration by Islington Council Fancy putting one of the pneumatic tubes literally on the stop line of a traffic light! Nothing counted going <10km/h and if someone stops on the tube, vehicles in the opposite direction won't be counted either

The fact is LTN advocates will put out data in a way to fit personal agendas. Just like @BetterSt4Enf and @PGCommunity did. The truth is there roads were some of the quietest in the area. While telling outer roads there roads were quiet. This deception and twisting of truths
Did you know @JourneysPlaces mislead residents to price LTNs to affluent communities. They gave LTNs to roads taking less cars within the LTN and then called busier roads quiet. Using there data it shows 90% of the roads took allot less than 2500 cars a day that they themselves

What Cllr Chowdhury, the lead for enviroment at Lambeth Council, who has blocked us, means is that Lambeth is intalling an LTN in an area where noise, air pollution and casualties are all low at the expense of the already busy surrounding rds. Vote her out in May!

We haven't seen a better explanation of the problems of floating bus stops and shared bus boarders than this.
@SilvertownTn @SocEnvJustice @RNIB We are still sharing the pavement with cyclists coming straight at me and my Guide dog Nelloe, before i could get an bus as it pull to the pavement, i cant use an bus because of floating bus stops as its not safe, with lines on the middle of the pavement, up stands that separate

Every single supporter of floating bus stops should memorise this.
Here’s what blind people told @RNIB when asked about floating bus stops: “I have been knocked down…”; “Floating bus stops are a complete nightmare…”; “I cannot express enough how angry and frustrated I feel about bus stop bypasses…”; “I no longer visit parts of the city…”
