Very valuable 'Meet the editors' session at UTSG. Useful for all of us, no matter what our career stage.
I'm looking forward to some 'off the record' hints and complaints!
Great to see reps from @JournalTPT @Transport_ELS

Last week our #HLPublicTransport report warned that cuts to bus services could have a detrimental effect on people who rely on bus services and risk a downward spiral of reducing demand.
