International rail travel is a great choice for the planet, but change is needed to make it a viable choice for more journeys.

🚌It's @BusUsersUK's #CatchTheBusMonth. This year's theme? #MythBusting
❌Myth: "Buses are dirty and polluting"
✔️Truth: Buses are cleaner per passenger than cars and one full bus can take up to 75 cars off the road
So why not get on board 🚌💚

In Aug this year, for 1 month, the Govt made bus journeys free for children in England.
Now, new figures show that the scheme enabled more than 14 million free child journeys. One bus service in the North East had 710% more child passengers than last summer.
Our reaction 👇
ALT Photo of Michael Solomon Williams with the quote, "As well as saving families money on millions of journeys, free child bus fares encouraged people to give the bus a try, inspiring a new generation of bus users. It's great to see this efficient, sustainable form of transport being given such a boost. But even with free fares, access to buses is not equal. One in seven people live in places without a decent bus service. The Government needs to do more to reconnect these transport deserts."

A truly inspiring day at our #TimeforTrams event in Coventry. At times it was standing room only, as we heard from a stellar lineup of Mayors, MPs and industry leaders, councillors and campaigners, about the extraordinary potential of trams and light rail.
Thank you to conference partners @createstreets, @UK_Tram_ and @landor_links, and headline sponsors @Arup, as well as all the brilliant speakers.
🚋Talking trams in Coventry today at our #TimeForTrams conference with @createstreets and @landor_links. With renewed focus on mass transit, it's the perfect time to explore how we can make light rail quicker, cheaper and easier to deliver across the UK.

🚌It's @BusUsersUK's #CatchTheBusMonth. This year's theme? #MythBusting

Rather than expanding Heathrow, the Government should focus on cleaner alternatives to flying by improving rail links to Europe.
A frequent flyer levy and ending aviation's tax privileges would also ensure those who fly most and pollute most contribute most to decarbonisation.
Join transport leaders, planners, engineers & policymakers in #Coventry on 24 Sept for #TimeForTrams 2026 to explore how we can deliver new tram networks faster, cheaper & at scale.

From this weekend, if your train is cancelled, you can get on another operator’s service and carry on your journey without paying again.
This simple, common sense change puts passengers first.
