A leaflet from the early 1990s by #London Buses Ltd. promoted bus usage to tackle traffic #congestion and pollution and the 'Red Routes' scheme to keep the #traffic moving.

Mention that driver-only buses do not hold up traffic as ⅔ of bus passengers use passes or pre-paid tickets.

Ciaran Cannon TD notes that the feasibility study for twin-tracking the Athenry to Galway rail line is now two years overdue, and has been tied up in the All-Island Strategic Rail Review, which itself is overdue and cannot be published until there is an executive in Stormont.

And today we are hearing that restoration of the executive has been postponed for another year.

I despair! 😫
