The existing transport systems aren't fixable without spending vast amounts of cash.


They want less cars, not more, to avoid the massive fines on the horizon for the enormous pollution in London.

They can't afford to buy back the real estate to knock down property to build new railway or tram infrastructure.

Jet packs haven't been invented.


It's 35 minutes into town on a bike from East Dulwich, less with proper segregation, and far less than that to the nearest tube.


I'm pinning my hopes on more cycle lanes and double-decker trains, like they have in the Netherlands...

It would be great just for cycling to Peckham Rye Station, Brixton or Oval tube, or just to the shops. We're in a densely populated area, with no high frequency tube or train service (and very slow buses). It's the perfect location for a short hire, point to point bike scheme IMO.

I was in the south of France a couple of years ago and saw one of the Paris bike scheme bikes in Nice. Bloody long ride that must have been.

    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so    
    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.
