Aira Explorer accessibility app rolled out at Surrey bus stations
As well as helping bus users to locate their stop, the app's interpreters can direct them to bus station staff, read timetables for them, and direct them to other nearby locations."We're keen to make bus travel accessible for everyone and hope this will support people with sight loss to travel confidently and independently," said cabinet member for highways Matt Furniss.
The operator that runs Southern, Thameslink, Gatwick Express and Great Northern trains rolled the app out at 236 railway stations in 2024.

We live under Britain's most complex motorway junction...the constant noise and smog is awful - but there are upsides
For motoring enthusiasts, the Gravelly Hill Interchange has become an unlikely tourist attraction in recent years, with guided tours held beneath its bridges. Known more commonly as Spaghetti Junction, its the UK's most complex motorway junction and gets its infamous nickname from its unique, tangled design. The interchange, which connects Birmingham to the M6, has become a vital route for those travelling out of the city and sees more than 200,000 vehicles including almost 26,000 lorries passing through it every day. But while for most, their only interaction with the junction will be travelling through it on their commute, the experience is entirely different for those residents who live underneath the notorious labyrinth of bridges. There is no escaping the noise from the endless stream of traffic and the smog from vehicles constantly fill up the air. When the Daily Mail visited neighbouring streets on Tuesday, the smoke was so heavy you could almost taste it. But residents told of how they love living beneath the junction, with one even joking 'there is nothing wrong with a bit of soot in your lungs'. Terry Hopper, 64, has lived beneath the junction on Lichfield Road for 30 years and owns an engineering site a few doors down. One of the junction's many busy roads runs above from where he stands in his front garden as he speaks to the Daily Mail. He said: 'Yes it's noisy but it's a bit like living near an airport, you get used to it. 'But it is quieter at night time, and it's good, you've got the motorway one side and got the canal at the back of our home. 'We've lived here 30 years now so we're used to the noise, we can hardly hear it. 'And we've got double glazing so you can't hear it at all if you've got your windows closed. It's not a problem. 'I think it's absolutely brilliant living just here. 'Anywhere I want to go, I can go. The motorway is right here, I can get the M6 down to London, up north, down to Cornwall.' He added: 'The pollution can be quite bad at times, all the smog off the motorway. 'But there's nothing wrong with a bit of soot in your lungs. 'It doesn't affect my health or nothing, it doesn't.' Across the maze-like junction on Minstead Road, father Olly Bradley echoed Mr Hopper's views. The 58-year-old told the Daily Mail: 'We've been here for more than 30 years and we're used to it. 'It's a good location. You can walk from here to the city centre in under an hour. 'When I moved here at the time with my little boy, my dad who was a dentist was worried about pollution here especially for my son. 'I wasn't particularly worried but it did make me think about it. 'But it's not been an issue. If you start worrying about that you've got to start worrying about all sorts of malarkey and you'll never be able to do anything. A view of houses on Lichfield Road which sits under the junction. Residents said the 'pollution can be bad' but one joked 'there is nothing wrong with a bit of soot in your lungs' 'Here, you've got easy access to everywhere, like my brother lives in Bearwood and he had to drive all the way round to get here, but for me I can get around easily. 'My mother-in-law lives in Newquay and the motorway is right here so it's just straight down, it's very handy. 'I can still remember when it was being built, I was only a few years old.' For some however, despite being so closely located to the motorway, they still felt the noise was 'awful'. One father who was loading his children into the car told: 'It's awful. 'Too much noise and smog. It's constant noise.' Bash, whose house directly looks over at the pillars beneath the bridge, said: 'We've lived here since 2003. 'I still find it very, very noisy. 'It's not good.' Joe Quinn, who has lived at his house by the junction for the majority of his life, says the area has gotten worse since the interchange was constructed. The 63-year-old said: 'I lived here before it was built. It's all changed, it's gotten worse. 'There were houses all across there, they were all demolished. 'It used to be family community, now all the remaining houses are all rented out. 'There's only a few of the original ones here. 'The junction didn't make it any better, put it that way. 'All it is is druggies down here, I take no notice now. 'There's a lot of it about, you don't see it all, they drive up here and do their deals. 'There's a very big change compared to 50 years ago. There used to be two-way traffic. 'The petrol garage there was a pub.' 'I have to go somewhere else for a pint now', he joked. The junction, which was opened in 1972 after 160 houses, a block of flats and the Erdington Arms pub were demolished to make way, is among the most well-known interchanges in the country. It was central to the Midland Links project designed to connect the M1, M5, and M6 motorways. Tour companies began running guided walking tours beneath the junction last year, with tourists paying £13.50 for a 1 hour and 45 minute experience exploring the canals, rivers and parks that lay under the bridges. Marites Tabiolo, 62, has lived beside the junction for 13 years. While she struggled to fall asleep when she first moved to the area, she says she is now, like many other residents, 'used to' the noise. She said: 'It is noisy at times. 'But I've lived here for 13 years. I'm used to it. 'At the beginning I could not sleep because it was noisy, and it gets busy even during the night. 'But it's quite nice, at the back we've got the canal. 'And I just find it safer. It's always quite bright, you have cars going past, and we've got CCTV round here. 'It is rare for something to happen here. I think it is safer because my colleagues who live in the centre say there people burn their bins and stuff like that. 'People have access there, no one really comes up here. There's no access at the back and people don't really come up this way.' Another man on Minstead Road, Gerry, told the Daily Mail said there was a lot of 'dangerous driving' in the area in the evenings. He said: 'The noise itself isn't too bad, you get used to it. 'But in the evening you get stupid drivers, people driving at 50mph into the pavement. 'There's a lot of dangerous driving. 'And it's getting rough here and you at night you can hear police sirens driving past.' While the surrounding street by the junction are predominantly home to garages and businesses, Minstead Road, Copeley Hill, and Lichfield Road have houses which sit beneath the interchange. Tamika John, 35, said from an off-road from Copeley Hill: 'It's not bad at all really. 'It's not noisy inside my house, I can only hear noises when big trucks beep their horns. 'The pollution can be bad but it's just Birmingham, pollution is everywhere. 'I like being so close to the motorway, it's easy to get to places. 'The motorway goes straight to London, and then north or south as well. 'I've lived here since 2017, I didn't really mind it then either.'

Right to buy in England ‘fuelled housing crisis and cost taxpayers £200bn'
Margaret Thatcher's right-to-buy scheme has cost UK taxpayers almost £200bn, according to a report into the policy's contribution to Britain's housing crisis. In its report into the sale of millions of council homes to their tenants at steep discounts since 1980, the Common Wealth thinktank said the policy had fuelled vast shortages in social housing and turbocharged inequality. Describing it as one of the 'largest giveaways in UK history', it said the sale of 1.9m council homes in England had contributed to a situation where one in six private tenants in England now rents a former local authority home. Local authority tenants have been able to buy their homes since 1936, but changes made under the first Thatcher government in 1980 triggered a boom in sales at steep discounts to market value. Calculating the 'opportunity cost' of the sales, Common Wealth said the former council homes were now worth an estimated £430bn after taking account of inflation and the surge in property prices since 1980. Of this sum, the thinktank said £194bn represented the value that was effectively given away when the homes were sold at a discount. Between the years 1980-81 and 2023-24, the discount averaged 43% on the prevailing market price. The report comes as Angela Rayner, the deputy prime minister, pushes to tackle Britain's housing crisis by making sweeping changes to right to buy, including making it harder for tenants in England to buy their council home. Under the planned changes, eligibility for the scheme will be tightened. This will include extending the minimum time a council tenant must live in their home from three to 10 years before they can buy it at a discount. Right to buy was launched by Thatcher as a pitch to older working-class voters to build a 'property-owning democracy'. Although it helped millions of families into home ownership, it also dramatically depleted Britain's affordable housing stock as the homes were not replaced. After rising for decades, home ownership rates have fallen since 2004, and have collapsed among young adults. From a peak of more than half of 25- to 34-year-olds owning their own home in 1990, less than a quarter of young adults are now property owners,leading to a boom in private renting and many choosing to live with parents. After decades of sharply rising property prices, Common Wealth said, local authorities have lost the use of housing assets that could have either been sold at higher market values or used for social housing. Chris Hayes, the thinktank's chief economist, said: 'The severe financial straits facing councils should be seen in the context of a decades-long assault on local government, in which right to buy was a central pillar, denying councils discretion over how best to use assets that they had built. 'Now those assets are in dire shortage and councils still bear the heightened cost of seeing people through the housing crisis.' Many of the properties are now rented out, often to tenants on housing benefit at a cost to local authorities of more than £20bn year, while councils have lacked funding to replace the homes sold. The leftwing thinktank, which has links to senior Labour cabinet figures, said local government has been in 'net disinvestment' in every year but one since 1988-89 – meaning it sells more assets than it builds. A report earlier this year by the Centre for Cities found that returning the number of affordable homes back to 2010 levels would cost the government £50bn. Labour has pledged a 'social rent revolution', allocating £39bn of social and affordable homes over the next 10 years, alongside slashing planning rules to support private sector housebuilding. However, critics have warned that the government could struggle to hit its target to build 1.5m new homes in total. Kwajo Tweneboa, a social housing campaigner, said right to buy had 'gutted council housing and transferred public wealth into private hands'. 'We're in a housing emergency. Millions stuck on waiting lists. Tens of thousands living in temporary accommodation that's unfit and unsafe. All while homes that were once publicly owned are now profit-generating assets for private landlords,' he said.
