An exciting day today with the launch of a new report from @UTG_UK on rail reform. The revolution taking place across the rail industry presents a real opportunity to build a railway that better reflects the needs of the people and places it serves. urbantransportgroup.org/reso…

Great move forward in opening up opportunities for disabled pass holders. 👏👏
We're lifting restrictions on disabled bus passes so they can be used to travel for free 24/7.
We're putting an end to the postcode lottery, so disabled people can access opportunity, and see friends and family whenever they want, wherever they live.

I am sorry to hear passengers in the North West are affected by a power outage, with trains cancelled or delayed.
I am receiving regular updates while Network Rail works to resolve the issue.
Disruption is expected during the rest of the day, so please check before you travel.

This is a welcome intervention for bus users and local communities 🚍👏
Our Director @MrJasonPrince is quoted in the Government's press notice on the new fare cap for single bus journeys.

Policy will come in from 1 January 2027
£454m extra - which comes from switching finance for international climate projects to loans
Fantastic news for passengers. Lower fares drive patronage, tackles social exclusion and opens up opportunity. Great news from @andyburnham @Heidi_Labour
