| 1639690400926515201 | @stocksyatlarge @WalkRideGM @DameSarahStorey @PeteZanzottera Ted makes an excellent point. My kids trip to his music lesson presently takes an hour each way (sale to Salford) - with bikes on trams it would be halved. That time saving would bring more people into public transport use! It’s standard across Europe! | 28 |
