Day 28 of the #30DayMapChallenge Black, using new @OrdnanceSurvey streetlight dataset, we mapped streetlights of GB on a black background. Even with land visible, streetlights outline the country perfectly and we use it in TRACC to spot unlit roads and plan safer walking routes.

Day 25 of the #30DayMapChallenge Hexagons We split Great Britain into hexagons and used TRACC to calculate the hourly average number of trains (Tue, 7am–7pm). Clear hotspots: the South East, Manchester–Liverpool–Leeds, and the Glasgow–Edinburgh corridor. #DataViz #Rail

Day 21 of the #30DayMapChallenge – Icons 🥐 What’s more iconic than a @GreggsOfficial sausage roll? We mapped which stations have the most Greggs within a 15-minute walk, using different-sized sausage rolls to show accessibility with a full sausage roll legend, of course.

Bus due on 5 minutes and it's popped off the live display. Useful.

Starting the #30DayMapChallenge with Day 1: Points! 🗺️✨ Here's a map showing #PTAL (Public Transport Accessibility Levels) points in #Leicester. It's fascinating to visualise transport accessibility! #MapChallenge #GIS #PublicTransport

Buy lots of sweets for trick or treaters. Don't put any decorations up hoping no-one calls and then I can eat them. Smart. #Halloween

Unsure that freezing fuel duty and raising the bus cap is sending the right message for driving people onto public transport. Do both or neither. #Budget24 #UKBudget

Having a great time at @Butlins and been for a lovely run on the beach. I really could retire and live by the sea. Excuse the windswept hair. #running #run

Ridiculous, spend over £300 on a @Xerox printer 15 months ago, a part fails. Call @Xerox and they wants £340 to send an engineer out. What a swizz.

Off to a friend's Wedding near stoke today. Have decided to get the train instead of drive, though it would be cheaper and quicker to drive. Oh well, you can't drink and drive, but you can have train beers!

Off to Ireland again today to see my birth mum. Sadly she was given only 6 months to live 4 months ago. I am glad to have found her and get to spend some time with her and fit in three trips over the past year. #adopted #cancersucks

Great bit of 5 a side tonight, few assists and a goal. Not bad considering the opposition was half my age.

Up way too early today. At the train station to be at the @transportgovuk in Birmingham for 9am. Let's hope the train service works ok today.

Such a shame that people with #ms can't give blood in the UK. Especially with blood shortages ATM. I used to give blood regularly until my diagnosis. @GiveBloodNHS

Was rather windy last night. Lots of rain, loads more due tomorrow. It must be the August Bank Holiday.

Just opened some @walls callipos. Five orange and no lemon and lime. There's outrage amongst the cousins.

Amazing to see #TeamGB get the mixed 400 m relay bronze on the #OlympicGames Especially when Laviai Nielsen has been living with #MS for a couple of years. I know for many this would never be possible, but it's a great positive news story. #Paris2024

Over 20 years ago I spent one year working in a primary school helping to teach it as part of my uni course. I was given this mug as a present at the end of the year. It's amazing how much it meant to me, and is still my goto mig two decades later.

Did the last time Labour get in, we won Eurovision? Things go well in Europe for England when Labour get into power. #England #EURO2024
