There has been a lot going on behind the scenes at LR Towers in the last few months. We have a new Friday / Monday Reads Editor, Daniel, who carries on the tradition. And we are adding Martha Lauren as a writer, she had written our look at London’s Super Loop bus Network last year. We are also lucky to have Martha join us, she has an amazingly breadth of knowledge of both UK and North American public transport system, as well as those in Europe. Her own transport blog is here.
A few years ago, we had invited some of our more senior commentators with industry experience to review draft articles, to include their expertise, experience, and knowledge. So whilst they provide fewer comments, their input often gives key insight into the thinking and other factors that affect the development of public transport. We are thankful for their input.
We also have quite a few articles just about ready to post, finalising some details and going through the review process. This includes a post on the final destination and disposition of the Nightstar sleeper car fleet, never operated in UK revenue service, and Part 2 on level boarding, looking at the state of platforms and trains in Europe. As well as a further look at the hype of hydrogen fuel cells, the new wave of intermodal fare integration, and the latest in London’s river buses. Rest assured these and other new posts are coming soon.
If you have an idea for an article you would like us to consider, or would like to help out with editing or other LR activities, do leave a comment or drop us a line at Mike at LondonReconnections.com. Photo posts are also welcome. We are attempting to write some shorter posts, so it need not be a long form opus, and we’ll do the editing for our house style.
