My travel plans will have me in the UK for much of the month of September this year. This is a great opportunity for British friends to think about events they might want me to do.
First, I can do speaking events related to my book, for free as long as there’s a reasonable marketing value. These events can focus on any mixture of.
- The guide we wrote on considering bus service in town planning, for the National Transport Authority of Ireland. (The town planning habits of the UK, and the resulting public transport issues, are similar.)
- Our Irish network redesigns, and lessons for the many redesigns that will be forthcoming in the UK.
Second, I can also offer sessions of our fun two-day intensive course in public transport network design, for any sponsoring organisation. You can read more about that here. These take some planning so please contact me right away if your organisation is interested. (Our fee to run the two day course is £12,000 plus a suitable venue.)
My larger objective for the trip, apart from some time off in beautiful landscapes and cities, is to see if we can be helpful in the reform of bus services across England, which will give shire and urban area governments the power to define their own bus services for the first time in decades. We have already provided some planning advice in both Cambridge and Birmingham, as well as in Wales. We’re also keen to do more comprehensive network maps to help British communities assess their current services, like the one we did for for the Cambridgeshire-Peterborough Combined Authority.
So please share your ideas for what I should do!
