We're looking forward to hearing about people's #BusAndBack walking adventures in 2026. buildstories.slowways.org/bus-and-back/ We're slowly going to share a thread of ideas. We'd love to see yours too! First, how about #TfL's 389 in #Barnet? At 1.5 miles, is this the UK's shortest route? 🧵

Colindale Tube station has become step-free for the first time after a new ticket hall opened on Monday, making it the 94th accessible station on the #Underground. The upgraded entrance features a larger ticket hall, lift access from street to platform, wider pavements and a sustainable blue-and-green roof. The project boosts capacity to meet growing demand linked to major housing development in the area. Work began in January 2024, with funding from the Government, #Barnet Council, local developers and #Transport for #London, and included a six-month closure last year. Further works, including new signage, cycle parking, retail space and an accessible toilet, will be completed by mid-2026. The upgrade supports plans for thousands of new homes and forms part of TfL’s wider programme to expand step-free access across the network, subject to funding.

A wide, low-angle shot of the modern entrance to Colindale Underground station in London. The station features a large glass facade with the London Underground roundel and a blue sign reading "COLINDALE STATION" in white capital letters. Beneath the sign is a spacious, open concourse where people are walking towards ticket barriers and using ticket machines. The interior has metallic walls and warm timber ceiling beams.

Passengers are moving through the gates, including a person using a white cane on the left and a person with a backpack on the right. The station features a high, arched wooden ceiling with exposed beams, large glass windows at the far end, and a staff office on the right.

Beside her, a person with blue hair walks toward the large windows, which overlook the Northern line tracks. To the left, a staircase leads down to the platforms under a "Northern line" and "Way out" sign.

Tottenham star revealed as player who was ‘threatened with a gun’ by agent

Turning, #Japanese : the old #bearing was from #NSK #Japan - so it would have been a fairly decent brand (its a VW OEM supplier) but /something/ knackered it (maybe a pothole?) - and as its not VW marked it would have been already replaced once - I don't think the lads at the dealer in #London would have had much opportunity to hoon the car before it was sold even if they wanted to, they are in #Barnet / #Enfield which is full of low speed limits as well as cameras).

The magnet ring was still intact, so I used some liquid crystal sheet to show the #magnetic fields (these #magnets are what makes the #ABS sensor work)

Note to self: remove bearing from the meeting table in the office *before* leaving tonight so its not still there on Monday 😁

Walking around King George's Field, High Barnet just now. There are vast quantities of bramble berries uncollected and uneaten, now shrivelled up, rather sad.
