Safe Speed Forums

Well, sort of.

They've changed their name and have a lovely new-look website to go with it..

Campaign for Better Transport

URL is the same old same old though, and their policies are still rooted in the dark ages. For example..

Road Blocks

I wonder if the guest speaker will be late because he was caught in traffic in his Clio.

PS. Their Annual Report makes for interesting reading. Nice to see several bus and train companies and SERCO (manufacturers of the GATSO) contributing to their funds. No vested interests there then.

You have to laugh at Michael Palin being the President.

He's the one who does all the unnecessary travelling round to make his programmes for the BBC.

I think I'll send them a message asking them to campaign for better roads, after all, highways provide by far the largest amount of transport in this country.

Maybe that's because deep in his heart of hearts he thinks what the rest of do - that the C02/carbon footprint/climate change doom-mongering malarkey is a load of old tosh.

There's a poll in the corner for what (T2000 approved) aim you'd like to achieve in transport. Please all vote 'something else'

Better still, help Emily:

Emily needs help

she sure does need help...from someone in a white coat with a nice padded bedroom to let - unless, of course, her boss gets the room first!

pathetic

He did offer to resign as the second he was criticised for his "carbon foorprint"...just goes to show his commitment...

By the way the new "logo" is like the one that a company called BTR used to have

It was nicknamed the "strangulated arse hole".....

Also looks like they have dropped the "visitor numbers"... I expect it was because it was too pathetic, less 200 hits per day.

Apparently they were aquitted later. (claiming to be saving rare bats)
She also thew a custard pie at Alistair Darling

So Better transport is promoting the Road Block event whose speakers are involved in illegal protests. and this is sponsored by the government who are also paying for the police and specialist removal teams.

“It has never been the rule in this country – I hope it never will be - that suspected criminal offences must automatically be the subject of prosecution” He added that there should be a prosecution: “wherever it appears that the offence or the circumstances of its commission is or are of such a character that a prosecution in respect thereof is required in the public interest”
This approach has been endorsed by Attorney General ever since 1951. CPS Code

Maybe she should get Clarkson to drive them; he always seems to beat James and Richard to the destination in their races. He also appears more relaxed then them two.

Michael Palin bugs me. He alternates between sceptical master of satire, and credulous fool.

Oh, they do have a comment section....

Aren't Transport 2000 seven years out of date ? Sorry, it's a poor joke, I know.

Presumbly they still support Thameslink 2000, another joke; after all Thameslink has now gone. It's now called the ridiculous 'First Capital Connect'

Not exactly. Thameslink was originally the name given to the cross-London route when it was still being operated by British Rail, and after privatisation the Thameslink name was also adopted by the company chosen to operate trains over the route. It's this latter Thameslink which has now been replaced by FCC, but Thameslink as a route name is still in existence, and thus continuing to refer to the upgrade project as "Thameslink 2000" is a joke only insofar as it continues to highlight the seemingly endless delays this project has incurred. Maybe it should be renamed as Thameslink Vista...
