Did you know good transport is good for our health?🧐 Research shows people who walk, cycle or use public transport are more likely to meet recommended physical activity levels. That's another reason to invest in better buses, trains and active travel. 🚲🚌🚶💚

More of an October feel to the weather in some parts of East Suffolk today, so here's a scene snapped on a somewhat sunnier September day at Derby Road station. The platform flower tubs always look fantastic thanks to the station adopter volunteers.

On Saturday, our walkers enjoyed glorious sunshine and stunning views on a leisurely paced meander through the lovely countryside around Settle. We were also lucky enough to catch sight of a pair of kingfishers flashing down the Ribble...but too fast enough to capture a photo!

Today is International Day of Older People - the theme this year is 'What's on your doorstep?'

Transport is an essential component of age-friendly communities - from reliable, accessible buses to well-maintained pavements.

Let's work to make transport better this #IDOP.
