ICYMI: Network Rail: Essential upgrades set to begin on Henley branch line #uk #railway #networkrail

BBC PM Programme today comes from #Northampton talking about more by rail, capacity, new freight depots, Daventry, Northampton Loop, constraints and yet does not understand a rebuilt Northampton-Market Harborough rail link N2MH would enable Felixstowe-Peterborough-Leicester-Northampton and DIRFT direct by rail and bring in more off #London radial lines and that of the North London Line? A study has been done, shows promise but needs completion. Rail Industry needs a Csar who can champion such projects, currently no such exists and we have a headless leadership/vaccume and that is a strategic weakness. Modal shift reqires tracks for more trains and understanding if the rails are not put back/new-built, the default is roads and the associated bads.

Here is an interesting article on the correlation of parking and driving revenue. This is a delicate balancing act. On the one had, there needs to be adequate parking at the business establishment to encourage spending at that business establishment. On the other hand, "don't underestimate the high cost of free parking" (Donald Shoup). #civilengineering #transportationplanning #trafficengineering #asce #ite https://lnkd.in/gVpXzT6A

CFAX 1070 Interviewed the Island Rail Corporation at 4pm 😂 If a private corporation could take over the railway they would! The IRC has no operating railroads at all! They are morally and ethically spent according to sources. The Island Corridor Foundation that owns it is a non-profit registered charity partnership of unprecedented magnitude between the First Nations and Regional Districts it passes through. They already have a private rail corporation as a partner, Southern Rail of Vancouver Island. They are a Washington group of companies affiliate of SRY Rail Link that operates out of Annacis Island in Vancouver with interlinks to every other railway company that operates in North America. They have connections to the island at the Wellcox yard in Nanaimo via Seaspan Rail Ferries and Barges. I'm sure they would love to expand their railway ownership by 289km that the railway represents if it were just that easy, but it just isn't. The Island Rail Corporation's last Press release suggested giving the entire railway to First Nations and giving them $1 billion of your tax money assuming they would then want the IRC to run the railroad. 😂 Preposterous. Support bringing back the railway in the only way possible, and that is through consultation with First Nations and providing the accommodations they are asking for. Sign the petition looking to do it right https://chng.it/HTPJ25CqPr, and use the email portal to write our leaders about the criticality of need for it's return. https://lnkd.in/gppuJxZX Restore Island Rail. #reconcilation #railway #transit #support #cycling #route #malahat #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #canada #connection #transportation #disabled #multimodal #cyclists #alternate #railways #support #healthy #communities #climateaction #climate #emergency #health #travel #community #culture

Return to Genuine Profits John Matthews, founder and CEO of AirX, on the crisis he sees facing business aviation, and his ambitious plans for AirX. “Ready for our inaugural equity raise, we’re set to amplify our already impressive $100m fleet with another circa $200m for 20+ heavy jets.” “Lenders are already becoming much stricter in their lending practices. There will be fewer and fewer “SPACs”, and it will be considerably more difficult to get credit for aircraft agreements if it is not supported by a cash-generating business case.” View the article here: https://lnkd.in/e72HMCQi AirX Charter #AirX John Matthews #JohnMatthews #charter #NetProfit #CashProfitable #Malta #Lenders #SPACs #Covid19 #pandemic #BizAv #BAM #BizAvMag #PrivateAviation #BusinessAviation #BusinessAviationMagazine
