  • This week’s Southern strikes are set to go ahead with RMT dismissing Govia deadline as “more threats and bullying”

    October 31, 2016

    Govia Thameslink Railway (the parent company of Southern Railway) is playing hardball.  It's now told the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union it will rescind its "full and comprehensive offer" if strike action, planned for later this week (4 and 5 November) goes ahead. Essentially, it's the last chance for RMT to accept GTR's previously [...]

  • Lord David Blunkett says Heathrow expansion must deliver on closing the skills gap

    October 31, 2016

    Legal challenges, what legal challenges? Heathrow has announced the names of 13 members of its new skills taskforce, led by Lord David Blunkett, which meets for the first time today.

  • London must shake off its complacency over housing and infrastructure if it’s to thrive post-Brexit

    October 31, 2016

    Rarely has a ranking of the world’s greatest cities been released in the past few years without London at its top, or very near it. PwC recently named the capital the world’s best city for opportunity, praising its economic clout, its attractiveness to foreign direct investment, its highly skilled workforce, and its status as a [...]

  • Network Rail may have to drawdown on mammoth government funding facility

    October 30, 2016

    After shelling out millions in compensation to Britain's train companies, Network Rail is facing the embarrassing prospect of asking for a hand out from the government. Last year, Network Rail drew down £7.5bn of borrowing from a department of transport (DfT) facility, more than doubling the amount it owes Chris Grayling's department, from £6.4bn to £14bn. [...]

  • House prices around the M25 have gone up 551 per cent in the last 30 years

    October 29, 2016

    The M25 is 30 years old today. A lot of things have changed in 30 years; not least house prices. Indeed, the average price of houses around the M25 has risen 551 per cent in the 30 years since Britain's busiest motorway was opened. According to Halifax, in the 40 towns surrounding the 117-mile motorway, the average price [...]

  • Birmingham New Street station gets another makeover after dazzling drivers

    October 29, 2016

    If you think your effort's going unappreciated at work, spare a thought for architecture firm AZPML. It only completed its £750m overhaul of Birmingham New Street railway station last year, complete with shiny steel "skin" to reflect trains pulling in and out of the station, as well as the surrounding cityscape, but it's already getting [...]

  • First legal challenges to Heathrow expansion take off as residents’ group claims bias

    October 29, 2016

    We all knew they were coming; it was a matter of when rather than if. And not a week since the government announced that Heathrow expansion was getting the green light, the first legal challenge has been set in motion against the third runway. Residents' organisation Teddington Action Group (TAG) is alleging "apparent bias" against Sir [...]

  • Giving Uber drivers “worker” status is bad news for passengers, the gig economy and the drivers themselves

    October 28, 2016

    Friday's decision to grant two Uber drivers worker status is bad news not just for Uber, but for its drivers, its customers, and the future of the “gig economy” as a whole. It is primarily bad for Uber drivers. We know for a fact that, by vast margins (five to one), they don’t want to [...]

  • Employment tribunal ruling could cost Uber over £17m, says employment lawyer

    October 28, 2016

    Today's landmark ruling by an employment tribunal that Uber drivers are not self-employed but entitled to basic workers' rights such as holiday pay, could cost the company in excess of £17m, according to an employment lawyer. Sean Nesbitt, partner in the employment team at law firm Taylor Wessing, said: "It is economically significant to Uber. [...]
