In May 2023 I joined Southend-on-Sea City Council as its Public Transport Manager, where I am responsible for managing the implementation of the new Enhanced Partnership between the Council and the city's bus operators, consisting of Southend's Local Bus Forum and Local Bus Board which will together oversee delivery of the schemes in Southend's Bus Service Improvement Plan. My Fellowship was about public transport, and its purpose was firstly to investigate electronic passenger information systems in this area, but it also dealt with the related topics of the link between land use and transport planning, and of high-quality public transport corridors. I became interested in the Fellowship's main topic because I had seen how technology was enabling travel behaviour change: I had also earlier, as an independent transport consultant, developed the pioneering UK Public Transport Information website in 1996. My Fellowship activity inspired co-authorship of a book in 2001 (Public Transport Information Websites: How to get it Right. A Best Practice Guide) and led to transport consultancy projects in Israel, Nigeria, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and Turkey. It also stimulated an innovative mindset to develop the Mobility Hub concept in the UK in 2003, with another transport consultant, and then led to me becoming a Chartered Geographer in 2019.
