Great British Failways? (Odds and Ends #103)

Plus an extremely spicy take about Ireland, and more!

Hello! It’s time for Odds and Ends, a semi-irregular round-up of the most interesting links I’ve seen lately.

Don’t forget to check out this week’s essay post, on what everyone is getting wrong about autonomous cars – and this week’s YIMBY Pod, where Martin and I talk about delivery robots, and I speak to Labour MP Dr Jeevun Sandher about how exactly ‘good growth in every postcode’ might work.

But let’s talk links – this week:

• Could Burnham liberate the PAF?

• Why Martin doesn’t like ‘picky bits’

• Why I think Ireland should stop free-riding on NATO

• When wifi becomes art

• Can we trust this scary new “bus” technology?

• Is Great British Railways screwing up its brand strategy?

• And will Euston still be a building site in 2027?

Now let’s get started!
