The planned order is expected to include 12-meter and 18-meter vehicles, and potentially also 24-meter bi-articulated trolleybuses. All units will be equipped with traction batteries enabling off-wire operation. The new trolleybuses are expected to cover at least 20 kilometers without overhead wires, while remaining fully compatible with Riga's extensive existing trolleybus infrastructure.

Official evaluations from National Highways, some of which had been held back by the Department for Transport (DfT) since completion in 2023, showed that a slew of big projects to convert the hard shoulder on the M1, M4, M6 and M25 were rated as poor or very poor value. The AA said the long-awaited reports revealed smart motorways had been a catastrophic waste of time, money and effort, although the government said they showed the project could allow more vehicles to travel safely.

It's tempting to frame autonomous driving as a single leap. In public transport, adoption tends to be incremental - because the system is built for reliability, and new capabilities have to fit into daily operations without disrupting service. That is why a practical strategy is evolution, not revolution: introduce autonomy in a defined domain, learn safely in real operations, and expand capability step-by-step.

Passengers travelling between London and Paris are currently told to check in between 45 minutes and 75 minutes in advance of their departure times, and usually end up waiting in the crowded waiting areas at London St Pancras or Gare du Nord stations.

"Cyclists shouldn't be left on red," Stevenson wrote in an article for news website MyLondon. The traffic light system that prioritises buses contains sensors, so they know when buses are approaching. They can stay green for longer when a bus is approaching, or switch from red to green more quickly if a bus is waiting. "These lights should also allow cyclists to pass through without waiting," Stevenson said.

The Tzen 4, a fully electric bus rapid transit line operating largely on segregated lanes, entered service on 10 February 2026 in the southern Île-de-France region. After several years of infrastructure works (the start of commercial operations was expected in 2024 ...), the new corridor connects Viry-Châtillon to Corbeil-Essonnes, serving the municipalities of Grigny, Ris-Orangis and Évry-Courcouronnes along a 14-kilometre route.

From 'teaching' cameras to the multi-function beasts that can issue tickets for eight separate driving offences, France has a wide variety of different speed cameras. France has thousands of speed cameras (known as radars) along its huge road network, and being caught by one of them can result in a fine, points, losing your licence or even - in extreme cases - jail time.

Thanks to the development of high-speed rail and the slowdown in our capital expenditure, we aim to strengthen the growth of our results over the next decade. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation stood at €859 million, exceeding targets set and reconfirmed last year.
