Advice to the new Secretary of State for Transport

“That is not necessarily what politicians want. What politicians want is to keep their jobs, be popular and climb the greasy pole”

In some cases politicians do not just want to keep their jobs and be popular.. I think that globally speaking, in most cases they support political views and actions not defined by themselves but by hidden dominant forces. Also corruption is an overgrowing problem in terms of politics.

Advice to the new Secretary of State for Transport

There are private libertarian railways being proposed, such as the Windsor Link Railway. The test of whether Justine Greening is there just for herself or whether she really cares about the rest of us will be if schemes such as these get a fair hearing against the DfT’s own babies.

Tariffs and Transport

I have used Kansai Thru Passï¼éè¥¿ä¸å¡éï¼twice and never use Kintetsu Rail Pass. Kansi Thru Pass is not cheap and you can’t save much from using it. On my experience, you can at most save 2,000 yen from the 5,000 yen 3-days pass. However, it is very convenient and a must have for Kansai trip. With it, you can jump in almost all train (you may need to buy extra ticket for some limited express train) and bus (except the city bus in Nara). You don’t need to spend time to stand before the complicated price chart in the station to find out which ticket to be brought. It is much better than Kintetsu Rail Pass and JR Pass, if you want to spend 1 or 2 day(s) in Kyoto. Because you can use all train, subway and buses in Kyoto. Kyoto is not a big city but if you want to visit most spots by walking, you will be exhausted before 3:00pm.With Kansai Thru Pass, you can use Osaka as you base and visit Kobe, Kyoto and Nara. If you have time, you can even go to åæå±±ï¼é«éå±±ï¼å§¬è·¯ï¼æ·¡è·¯å³¶ without additional transport charge.

I don’t live in London. I’m living on the west coast of the US. So I have no information pertinent to the blog. But I do have some things that I believe are very worth saying and introducing as you say to cyberspace. I’m so glad for the open opportunity to share.
Our perception of reality as human beings is based not on what reality is, but rather is based on which lobe of our brain our attention is focused at the time of the perception. The reptilian brain complex, in the back of the brain, is the inherited species instinctual behavior of protoplasmic survival. It is absolutely necessary for the biological function of the organism. And it dictates that we behave as though survival is an issue whether it is or not; as though we are animals. It is not able to perceive awareness of ones own identity nor the identity of others, nor perception of the Divine. It is a purely reactionary mechanism.
By focusing to the frontal lobe we are able to contemplate memory of events out of the sequence of the time frame within which they occur. This allow us to perceive self as an identity, others as identities distinct from us, and the perception of the Divine.
Very few people know this and so are therefore unable to determine or choose which brain they are focusing on. But this awareness determines our perception of everything. It determines the life which we all create. It’s one of the most important things for people to know. Help me get the word out. People need to know. There are simple steps that anyone can follow to learn how to focus front brain. http://www.passiontoprosperity.com

A generic piece on fare increases

Here in Australia, people are beginning to realized the need for public transport. I have never been to England but i learnt the transport system there is perfect. How true is that?

A generic piece on fare increases

I agree wholeheartedly. I think though that most people tend not to trust market forces; nor do they particularly want to face price rises as you suggest in the short term. I always think that it is particularly absurd that you can fly cheaper to London from most mainland European cities than it costs to get the train in from the airport to central London.

Good riddance to Cuba's old cars

These classic cars in the great setting of Cuba will make a big change when you take them away. It will be a sad scene in the place. But is it a good riddance?

A generic piece on fare increases

With the vast increase of expenses and demand for fuel and manpower, it’s not surprising that fares increase regularly. This is expected in the next years to come.

At least you have trains !
I always laugh when people winge about train fares. Oh, what we would give for a train line.
The Northern Beaches of Sydney have no train line; just 2 roads connect us to the city area. Traffic is grid locked between 7 and 8.30 am.

Our trucks leave for the City at 0615. Any later, the 20 minute journey becomes well over 1 hour
