Also coming soon… a bespoke platform for serious discussion of transport issues

The exciting new LTT discussion platform to be unveiled shortly has been designed to our own specification to present ‘longform’ serious articles on local transport topics in the most effective way, and to encourage continuing interactive dialogue about the subject matter. It will carry articles authored by our range of expert contributors in an easy-to-read style with the facility for people to respond to them with comments and further contributions, all with a convenient-to-use personal reading library function. The platform also features a number of high quality reading functionalities, including energy-saving dark mode, in line with all the latest accessibility standards. A privacy-sensitive approach includes anonymised viewing behaviour. There’s also a biography section where contributors can give more details of their experience in the subject matter they’ve covered. 

The platform will allow wider access to the Editorial Opinion, Columnist and Viewpoint elements familiar within LTT, and provide for subsequent discussion within our expert community beyond that which can be accommodated in the magazine itself once such articles have been published there.

Our developer Jon Ingram has had his head down in serious work getting all the quality of service things right, and we think you’ll agree when you see it that what he’s done is a step up from anything offered to date in this field.
