  1. Good point from Nick on the need for digital transport in urban areas.

    He is an analogue – not a Hannahlogue.

    Random thoughts – all in favour of those.

  2. Good point about devolution of power to the local region.

    What will digital devolution mean for regional transport. Would that be the end of a National Transport Directs?

    Nick suggests nation states are not needed in a digital age. What would happen to civil servants?
