The Secretary of State for Transport's decision on the Development Consent Order (DCO) was supposed to be announced yesterday. I've been waiting with bated breath...

Today he announced that it will be deferred until 19th April 2022 'to allow further consideration or environmental matters'.

I'm struggling to feel optimistic...

I understand there is now a campaign for the Portishead line to be converted to a busway.
IÔÇÖve also heard that thereÔÇÖs new steel traffic from Llanwern to Portbury, starting this week. Long may it last!
