Launched today by the Mayor of London is this initial consultation
document on the likely direction and principles to be used in the
updated Mayoral Transport Strategy.

Press release here

I'll resist the temptation to comment further and leave it to those who
are interested to respond.


No one seems to mention the horse any more surely we should be
encouraging the building of stables everywhere so that commuters could
rent nags by the hour or daily,the manure which is dropped could be used
to fertilise organic allotments & think of all the fun you could have
dashing about town,I can,t wait to buy a tricorn hat and breeches
Tallyho!!


You want to come and have a wander or a cycle round Ashburton Grove after
an Arsenal home match to see the flaw with that - just a handful of police
horses leave half the neighbourhood paved in ****.

No, horses are not the future. Space hoppers, on the other hand ...

They have those at Schiphol airport. Why the manufacturers think it
makes officers "more approachable", I have no idea. (At Schiphol they
seem to select especially tall officers, and then add the several extra
inches of height. You would end up talking to their navel).
