On Thursday night we launched the Get Glasgow Moving public transport campaignโ€™s 10th Anniversary Exhibition at The New Glasgow Society ๐Ÿ™Œ Itโ€™s only on until Weds 23rd Sept, so please make sure you visit! ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Open every day until Weds 23rd September, 12noon-5pm
๐Ÿ“ 1307 Argyle Street, G3 8TL

Itโ€™s been a total labour of love to bring this exhibition together โ€“ four daysโ€™ solid to install and a whole summer spent sorting through the archives and organising more than 240 photographs, sixty press cuttings, fifty films, alongside many old placards, banners and leaflets to the tell the story of our campaign over the last decade ๐Ÿš ๐Ÿš‡ ๐Ÿš†

If you donโ€™t know much about Get Glasgow Moving or just want to find out how Iโ€™ve been spending a massive chunk of my time over the last 10 years as the campaignโ€™s co-founder and chairperson โ€“ then please make sure you come along!

Iโ€™ll be invigilating from Monday โ€“ Weds, so come and say hi ๐Ÿ˜Š

We are also selling our popular campaign t-shirts, designed by yours truly, for just ยฃ10 โ€“ so don't miss your chance to get one ๐Ÿ‘•

And thanks, as always, to Neil Scott for the wonderful photos!

I was delighted to be back in Liverpool City Region this week for the launch of Merseytravel's new publicly-controlled bus network ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿฅณ I staged 'Bus Regulation: The Musical' here in 2022 and 2023 as part of the campaign which led to Steve Rotheram's decision to become the 2nd UK city region to roll-out bus franchising, after Greater Manchester.

After 10 years campaigning, it's just brilliant to see The Scottish Government finally taking action to regulate bus fares in Glasgow ๐Ÿ‘ But their ยฃ2 fare cap will do nothing to improve services, create new routes or integrate timetables and tickets with other transport modes ๐Ÿš๐Ÿš‡๐Ÿš† For that we must bring our bus network back into public control. Please support Better Buses for Strathclyde to make it happen โœŠ @followers ...
