🚈🇮🇪 KeolisAmey has been awarded the next generation Luas Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract, valued at €1.3bn, by #Transport Infrastructure #Ireland (TII) and the National Transport Authority (NTA). Starting 1 September 2026, the contract runs for seven years with an extension option. The contract includes a new timetable with extra services during peak times from 2027. Transdev will help transition to KeolisAmey, with most staff expected to transfer under transfer regulations. KeolisAmey operates similar services such as London’s Docklands Light #Railway and #Manchester #Metrolink. This contract supports the continued expansion of Dublin’s Luas network, including the planned extension to Finglas. The contract will improve service capacity and reliability.

🇮🇪 Ireland’s National #Transport Authority has launched an inclusivity campaign to promote #diversity across the Transport for #Ireland (TFI) public transport network. Building on previous anti-racism initiatives, the campaign presents public transport as a welcoming space for all passengers, regardless of background, identity or ability. Advertisements will appear on #buses, trams and #trains, as well as on social media, sharing the experiences of people who use public transport each day. Using the tagline “Transport for Ireland is Transport for you, transport for everyone”, the campaign highlights the role of public transport in connecting communities. NTA chief executive Anne Shaw said accessible and inclusive transport is a key priority, noting it provides essential access to education, employment and independence. She added that improving transport options can help remove barriers and support inclusion across society. The campaign will run for several weeks.

#UK car commuters are spending an average of £2,228 per year, with rising fuel, maintenance and parking costs putting pressure on households. Research by #Stagecoach shows 55% of drivers feel costs are increasing, while 14% have considered changing jobs to reduce their commute. A third (33%) are rethinking their journeys, with potential savings of £1,139 per year by switching to the bus. Benefits include lower costs, reduced stress, time for reading or emails, and less loneliness, making public #transport a smart alternative for those seeking financial and mental relief.

Rail passengers can get 10% off pay-as-you-go journeys across the wider Bristol area and the Stroud Valley with a GWR Touch smartcard until the end of April. The offer covers routes between Bristol and Swindon, towards Weston-super-Mare, Cheltenham Spa and along the Stroud Valley.
Pay-as-you-go, introduced around Bristol in 2022 and later extended towards Swindon and Cheltenham Spa, automatically charges the best available flexible fare for the day.
GWR’s Wales and West of England development manager, Hannah Shackleford, said the scheme had been popular with passengers and the temporary discount would offer extra savings.
The smartcard can be used on GWR, Transport for Wales and CrossCountry services within the pay-as-you-go area. It also provides daily and weekly fare capping between stations and can store season tickets. Railcard discounts and a 50% child fare reduction can be added, although Flexi Season tickets cannot be used with pay-as-you-go.

A new timelapse video captures a year of change in St Helens town centre, condensing months of demolition and preparation work into minutes. Filmed from Century House since February 2025, it records the first phase of the town’s regeneration, including demolition of the Hardshaw shopping centre and the former bus station.
The cleared sites will be redeveloped around a new transport interchange aimed at improving connections between bus and rail services while encouraging greener travel. The project is backed by £32m from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.
Plans for the hub include enclosed concourses, solar panels, cycling facilities, waiting areas, a travel centre and accessible toilets. The wider scheme will also bring a new market hall, a 120-bedroom Hampton by Hilton hotel, 56 apartments, eight townhouses and more than 4,000 sq ft of retail space.

🇳🇿 Global mass #transit operator Kinetic has secured all four contract units in #Auckland Transport’s Tranche 3 bus services tender, worth NZD755 million, marking its largest contract in Auckland. Three central units will run for 11 years and the eastern unit for 8.6 years. Kinetic will invest more than NZD121 million in new zero-emission buses and depot upgrades, including expanded charging infrastructure and a second overhead gantry charging system at its City depot. In total, 201 zero-emission buses will operate under the contract, with 125 entering service in 2027. A record 165 electric buses will begin operating from the first day of central services in July 2027, the largest initial rollout in New Zealand. Eastern services will start in December 2026. The contract reinforces Kinetic’s position as Auckland’s largest bus operator and supports Auckland Transport’s plan to transition the city’s entire bus fleet to zero emissions by 2035.

Greater Anglia marked International Women’s Day 2026 with events celebrating women in the railway industry. Women hold 32.7% of management roles, and staff surveys show high levels of inclusion and job satisfaction. The company has introduced workplace initiatives including free sanitary products, menstrual health training, the endometriosis UK pledge, and a ‘fertility journey’ policy offering paid leave for fertility treatment and miscarriage support. A March 3 event in Chelmsford featured motivational talks, breast cancer awareness, and career insights from Greater Anglia, Network Rail and c2c colleagues.

🚄🏗️🛤️ Most trains will run over Easter, but passengers in Sussex and south London should plan ahead due to essential engineering work from 3–6 April. Network Rail will refurbish switches and crossings, stabilise slopes at Stone Cross, and replace footbridges at Bognor Regis and Hampden Park. Southern services between London Victoria, Portsmouth Harbour, Brighton, Southampton, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis will be affected, with replacement buses on some routes. Network Rail and Southern urge passengers to check timetables in advance to minimise disruption and ensure safe, reliable journeys.

🚄🏗️ More than nine in ten trains will run as normal over the Easter weekend, though essential engineering work will affect parts of Kent and south-east London. Passengers are advised to plan ahead as some services will be replaced by buses on routes including Herne Bay, Ramsgate, Orpington, Tonbridge, Ashford to Dover, and sections around Dartford, Lewisham, and Barnehurst. Works include track renewal at Margate, bridge repairs in Broadstairs, signalling upgrades in Lewisham, and flood-prone track maintenance at Hildenborough. South Eastern Railway says the improvements will boost reliability, with ticket acceptance and accessible replacement transport provided where routes are affected.

🚆💳✈️ Contactless ticketing has been introduced at 20 additional Greater Anglia stations, including the #London Liverpool Street to Stansted Airport route. From 8 March, passengers can tap in and out using a contactless card, smartphone, or smart device, simplifying travel across Essex and Hertfordshire. Key commuter and airport routes, including Stansted Express and Southend Airport services, are now covered. Fares are automatically calculated with daily and weekly caps in London. The move is part of a wider industry effort to modernise ticketing, improve convenience, and support integrated travel. Passengers should ensure both departure and arrival stations accept contactless and touch in and out correctly.

The Cambridge Growth Company (CGC) and the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority have begun work on a Strategic Outline Business Case to assess options for a Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system across Greater Cambridge. The study will examine how improved transport could support long-term growth in one of the UK’s most economically important regions. Commissioned by the Department for Transport, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, and HM Treasury, the work will consider a range of options, from smaller transport improvements to full MRT systems such as trams, light rail, bus rapid transit and automated networks. Consultancy WSP has been appointed to carry out the study. The project will assess potential options and produce a Green Book-compliant business case outlining costs, benefits, funding approaches and a preferred option. Findings will help inform the Greater Cambridge Transport Strategy due in November 2026.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has responded to a Freedom of Information request about the Silvertown Tunnel Cycle Shuttle, a free service launched on 7 April 2025 to help cyclists cross the Thames. TfL said thousands have used the shuttle, but it does not record month-by-month usage. Instead, it carries out week-long counts at different times of the year as part of its monitoring approach. These figures are published in quarterly reports to the Silvertown Tunnel Implementation Group. TfL said the service is still relatively new and marketing campaigns are continuing to raise awareness, with the expectation that usage will grow as more cyclists learn about it. In response to questions on costs, TfL said it awarded a £1,967,010 contract to Stagecoach to operate the bus service for three years.

Govia Thameslink Railway, the UK’s largest train operator, has eased ticket restrictions for passengers affected by the Middle East conflict. Those whose flights have been cancelled, rescheduled, or diverted to or from the region can use existing Southern, Thameslink, Gatwick Express and Great Northern tickets at a different time or day. Tickets from 28 February onwards are valid on earlier or later trains, including peak services if applicable. Passengers must show proof of their original booking and flight disruption. The measures apply only to journeys fully on these networks; connections with other operators require separate checks.

Walking, wheeling and cycling remove up to 660,000 cars from roads each day across Ireland’s five largest metropolitan areas, according to the National Transport Authority’s Walking and Cycling Index. The report covers Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick/Shannon and Waterford.
The survey shows many residents make everyday journeys by foot, mobility aid or bicycle instead of driving. Up to 70% of adults in Dublin walk or wheel at least five times a week, while weekly cycling ranges from 25% in Dublin to 12% in Waterford.
Active travel is estimated to deliver almost €3 billion in annual economic benefits through lower travel costs, health improvements and better air quality. It also prevents nearly 5,900 long-term health conditions each year and cuts around 120,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

A new artistic roundel celebrating local wildlife has been unveiled at Westerfield railway station. The mosaic, depicting pollinators found around the station, was revealed on 28 January at an event attended by parish councillors, residents and supporters. Guests included volunteer station adopters Sandy Burn and Yvonne Maynard, Thalia Woodgate from the East Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership, and artist Anne Schwegmann-Fielding, who created the piece. The roundel was funded by the partnership and by money raised by the station adopters during their summer Bee Fete. Schwegmann-Fielding handcrafted the mosaic in her Wrabness workshop using fragments of crockery and tiles to create a colourful design. Greater Anglia completed the installation. The artwork reflects the biodiversity around Westerfield station, where volunteers have transformed the platforms into wildlife-friendly gardens supporting pollinators and other species.

The Department for Transport (DfT) has published guidance for bus operators on appealing reimbursement levels under the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS). Operators can challenge the amount received from travel concession authorities or object to participating in the scheme by applying to the Secretary of State for Transport. Appeals must provide clear grounds, supporting data, and adhere to statutory deadlines. An independent decision-maker assesses applications, which may involve additional information or oral hearings. Determinations adjust reimbursement rates or scheme arrangements and may be published in anonymised form.

🚄🔧 Passengers are warned of rail disruptions south of Peterborough on Sunday 15 March due to further testing of a new digital signalling system. Thameslink and Great Northern services will not run on key sections, with replacement #buses operating between Hitchin, Bedford, Peterborough, St Neots, Stevenage, Hertford North, Potters Bar and #Luton #Airport Parkway. Long-distance trains from northern #England will start or terminate at #Peterborough, with coaches connecting to Bedford and #London. The £1.4bn East Coast Digital Programme is introducing in-cab digital signalling between Welwyn and Hitchin later this year, aiming for safer, greener, and more reliable journeys. Passengers are advised to check National Rail before travelling and allow extra time.

Great Western Railway (GWR) has launched a campaign to revive regional folklore, marking 100 years since its original Line to Legend Land series, as part of World Book Day celebrations. The updated collection features 11 myths from the South West and Wales, with an introduction and a new story by former Children’s Laureate Sir Michael Morpurgo. His original tale, The Miracle Dolphin of Mevagissey, tells of a friendship between a fisherman’s son and a dolphin in a Cornish harbour. Retold for modern readers by Gloucestershire writer Brad Brookes, the illustrated book brings together traditional legends from across the region. To mark the launch, five life-sized statues inspired by the stories will appear at stations across the GWR network. An online travel guide will also encourage families to visit the landscapes behind the myths. The campaign supports Farms for City Children, founded by Michael and Clare Morpurgo, which marks its 50th anniversary.

🚄🟠⦵ #Transport for #London (TfL), four west London boroughs and the Old Oak & Park Royal Development Corporation have agreed to invest up to £6.65m to progress the next stage of the proposed West London Orbital rail line. The project would use underused freight lines to link Hendon and Hounslow with a new London Overground route, providing up to six trains an hour and ten interchanges with rail and Underground services. Plans include four new stations at Old Oak Common Lane, Neasden, Harlesden and Lionel Road.
The funding will support design work, modelling and public consultation ahead of a decision in 2027 on whether to seek statutory powers. Backers say the line could support more than 25,000 new homes and 11,500 jobs while improving links between growth areas including Brent Cross, Old Oak Common, Acton and Brentford. It would also strengthen access to the future Old Oak Common HS2 and Elizabeth line hub and could cut car journeys by about 650,000 a year.

🚻🚾 #Westminster City Council has reopened refurbished public toilets at the Grade II listed Piccadilly Circus Underground Station, the third site completed under a £12.7m programme to upgrade eight facilities across the West End.
The works include modernised male and female toilets, a family changing room and baby-changing areas, alongside structural, drainage and waterproofing improvements and new fire safety systems. The subterranean site at Exit 1 has been updated to extend its lifespan and meet current standards.
A new artwork by London artist James Lambert features hand-drawn designs on handmade tiles, inspired by Anteros and the area’s Art Deco and entertainment heritage.
FM Conway led the project with Hugh Broughton Architects and Harley Haddow. Further refurbishments are planned at Green Park, Carnaby Street, Westminster Bridge, Covent Garden and Leicester Square.

First Bus is introducing six new services across Lanarkshire from Sunday 29 March, marking 100 years since buses first ran in the region. The updated network will provide more frequent journeys, with some routes every 15 minutes, alongside earlier morning and later evening trips. Several routes will gain Sunday services, while existing timetables will be adjusted to improve reliability.
Commercial Director Graeme Macfarlan said the changes aim to strengthen connections and support workers, healthcare travel and leisure journeys. The milestone was marked at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility in Motherwell with the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust and a restored 1954 Central SMT Leyland Titan. Transport chiefs in Scotland welcomed the new services, citing improved links for local communities.

🇮🇪 The Government has launched two five-year plans aimed at reshaping Ireland’s #transport system. Announced by the Department of Transport, the Moving Together strategy and the Sustainable Mobility Policy (SMP) Action Plan 2026–2030 set out measures to tackle congestion, cut transport emissions and expand travel options nationwide.
The SMP Action Plan contains 95 actions, including delivery of major public transport schemes such as #MetroLink, BusConnects and DART+, alongside investment in walking, cycling, shared mobility and rural connectivity. Moving Together focuses on cross-government action to reduce congestion and improve air quality, while supporting climate goals.
The plans also back electric vehicle infrastructure and aim to balance the needs of commuters, businesses, rural communities and vulnerable road users, with annual progress reports promised.

In #Singapore, the Land #Transport Authority (LTA) will open Circle Line Stage 6 (CCL6), the Downtown Line 3 extension and Thomson-East Coast Line Stage 5 this year. CCL6, linking HarbourFront and Marina Bay, is due to open mid-year, with three more stations on TEL5 and DTL3e in the second half. The additions support the Land Transport Master Plan 2040 goal of eight in 10 households within a 10-minute walk of a station by the 2030s.
On the Jurong Region Line, a new Tengah station, JS2A, will open in the mid-2030s, bringing the total to 25. Stage 1 will be delayed by six months to mid-2028 due to complex works, despite efforts to recover pandemic setbacks. Interim shuttle buses will start in late 2027.
The Cross Island Line Phase 1 is on track for 2030, with Phase 2 and the Punggol Extension due in 2032. Phase 3 works begin next year. Studies for the Seletar Line, Tengah Line and a West Coast extension will start this year.

🚈🐝 #Transport for Greater #Manchester (TfGM) will carry out a major £150m programme this year to enhance the capacity, reliability and resilience of the #tram network across Greater Manchester. Work will include track, tram and workforce upgrades, with some temporary disruption for passengers at locations including Trafford Bar, Deansgate-Castlefield, Monsall, Newton Heath & Moston, Eccles, Derker and Piccadilly Gardens. Preparatory works start over the Easter Weekend, with full closures on the Altrincham, Eccles and Trafford Park lines. A revised timetable will run from 30 March to autumn, supported by extra double trams and a driver recruitment drive, while trams undergo maintenance and deep cleaning to improve reliability and passenger experience.

🏴 People in the Highlands and Islands are set to benefit from cheaper bus travel as a £2 fare cap is introduced this month in #Scotland. The pilot will cover routes across Highland, Moray, Argyll and Bute, and Orkney, following successful launches in Shetland and the Western Isles. Single fares such as Wick to Inverness (£31) and Elgin to Inverness (£15.60) will be capped at £2. First Minister John Swinney visited Inverness Bus Station to announce the rollout, highlighting benefits for rural and low-income communities. The scheme forms part of wider measures, including scrapping peak rail fares and continuing free travel for under-22s, over-60s and disabled passengers, to ease the cost of living.

Transport for London (TfL) and Santander Cycles have named ten hire bikes after inspirational women to mark International Women’s Day on 8 March. More than 150 public nominations were submitted, recognising pioneers, community leaders and grassroots champions working to make cycling more inclusive. A panel selected nine contemporary figures and one historical trailblazer, Tessie Reynolds, whose 1893 record-breaking ride challenged Victorian norms. Those honoured include paramedics, campaigners, club leaders and outreach workers supporting women, children and underrepresented groups to cycle. TfL and the Mayor say they remain committed to tackling barriers such as safety, cost and confidence. Cycling in London has risen 43 per cent since 2019, with continued investment in Cycleways and community schemes to narrow the gender gap.

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch has published its report into an incident at Ealing Broadway station on 24 November 2024, when a passenger was trapped and dragged by a westbound Elizabeth line train. At about 00:09, the train doors closed on the passenger’s hand as they tried to board. The train moved off, dragging them around 12 metres before they were freed by another passenger and a staff member. Minor injury is considered likely. RAIB found the driver closed the doors while passengers were still boarding and alighting, and the door system did not detect the obstruction. Risk controls at the station were ineffective, and infrastructure changes had not been fully assessed. Five recommendations have been made to improve risk management, CCTV, technology, standards and oversight.

🚶🛍️🏗️ The Mayor of #London, Sadiq Khan, has confirmed plans to pedestrianise Oxford Street between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street by the end of the summer, following a second public consultation that drew more than 2,700 responses. #TfL will begin work to remove traffic from the stretch, with access maintained for emergency and overnight servicing vehicles. Initial design principles include more trees and planting, improved lighting, seating and signage, and space for cultural, sporting and seasonal events from this year. The scheme aims to boost the West End economy and enhance safety, accessibility and sustainability. The Oxford Street Development Corporation, the GLA and TfL will develop detailed designs with businesses, residents and community groups.

🚌🇵🇹 CaetanoBus is leading the world’s first #hydrogen Bus Rapid #Transit (BRT) consortium headed by a bus manufacturer, marking its shift from vehicle producer to #mobility solutions provider. The project supports the launch of #Metro do Porto’s first hydrogen-powered #BRT corridor in Porto.
Under a single-contract model, CaetanoBus coordinated vehicle supply, green hydrogen production, refuelling infrastructure, solar energy generation, depot energy management and long-term maintenance. The system includes 12 H2.CityGold 18-metre #buses using #Toyota fuel cell #technology.
The integrated structure centralises accountability, aiming to improve reliability, reduce complexity and lower total cost of ownership. CaetanoBus plans to expand the model with a pay-per-use offer, enabling operators to access fleet and energy infrastructure on a per-kilometre basis, reducing upfront capital costs.
