  1. Interesting to compare 15 minute city tool for London to TfL online WebCat PTAL scores (which cover public transport).

    Some out of London areas that have less good PTAL scores seem to do quite well on the 15 minute interactive tool (even when selecting different 15 minute measures that are included in the PTAL scoring).

    I’ve had cause to look at Webcat PTAL scores for some parts of North West London as part of a campaign (lead by Greenschoolruns) to ask TfL to improve service on route 603 to add additional journeys allow parents & children access to more direct, ideally single seat, service to travel to school and then parent returning home on the route (and vice versa, noting that some of the schools have catchments much wider than you might assume), reducing car traffic in some towns along the route (especially close to Swiss Cottage end).
