Sheffield MP & Transport Secretary Louise Haigh on the future of UK Transport


Recommended Posts

It's interesting that now Stagecoach no longer run the supertram and tramtrain the conductors and drivers seem much more cheerful and friendly, but the service is no longer so reliable.

I do realize that this is a renewal and finance problem rather than an organization issue.

I catch the tram from Halfway quite regularly and have noticed staff seem a lot happier, haven’t noticed any problems with reliability.

It wasn't running to halfway due to track repairs in much of June. Most of the problems seem to be due to track repairs or breakdowns.

I wish her well, though transport is about goods as well as people.
This one might be difficult to address in the short term.
For those who aren't aware Class 90 & Class 325 are electric locos/multiple units
EC4T is how train operators are charged for the electric they use.

Imagine if we had more wind farms, maybe on, or close to, Network Rail land.
Free electricity for Scotland possible, says Octopus boss

Worth noting that DB Cargo are part of  Deutsche Bahn Group, another example of UK infrastructure being operated by overseas owners.
