Poets are Liars “if poetry genuinely is a truth-telling and poets truth-tellers, it seems important to demonstrate that what we do is falsifiable.

🚌⚡🔋 First Bus has launched a UK-first trial using its electric bus depots to help balance the National Grid by changing when buses are charged. The scheme began at the #Glasgow depot and will expand to Great Yarmouth later this spring. By charging vehicles when excess renewable energy, particularly #Scottish wind power, is available, and reducing demand at peak times, the depots can help cut #renewable #energy curtailment and support a more flexible electricity network. The trial is being run with Optimo Energy, whose platform adjusts charging in response to live grid conditions while keeping buses ready for service. First Bus said the project could improve the efficiency of electrification, support grid stability and create new revenue opportunities through energy flexibility markets. https://news.firstbus.co.uk/news/first-bus-launches-uk-first-trial-to-support-national-grid-using-electric-bus-depots

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 More than 170 road safety projects are being delivered across #Scotland with over £14 million in #Scottish Government funding for 2025–26. The Road Safety Improvement Fund supports councils to introduce measures aimed at reducing accidents and improving safety on local roads. Schemes include junction upgrades, bend safety treatments with motorcycle-friendly barriers, improved road markings, pedestrian crossings, traffic calming and vehicle-activated signs. Some areas are also trialling new technology such as intelligent solar road studs. Each project will be assessed after one and three years to measure its impact on reducing casualties and risk. The funding also supports safer conditions for active travel, including #walking and #cycling, as part of wider efforts to improve road safety and move towards making Scotland’s roads the safest in the world by 2030. https://www.transport.gov.scot/news/improving-safety-on-local-roads/

🚄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScotRail has begun seeking finance for a new suburban fleet of at least 69 trains, with options for up to 37 more, ahead of their planned introduction in the early 2030s. The operator will enter a rolling stock lease once the #trains are in service. A separate process to appoint a manufacturer was launched last November. The trains are expected to serve routes including East #Kilbride, Fife, the Borders and Glasgow’s inner suburban lines. Planned features include air-conditioning, improved reliability, step-free access, and more space for bicycles and wheelchairs. The #Scottish Government has approved the procurement, which is being aligned with electrification works by Network Rail. Chief Operating Officer David Ross said the investment would make rail travel more reliable, comfortable and attractive than car use. https://www.scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail/news/scotrail-launches-finance-procurement-phase-new-trains-0
