Friday Reads for 27 February

The Friday Reads roundup for 27 February highlights several transport‑focused developments, from Greater Anglia’s expansion of its contactless payment zone to include Stansted Airport, to Milan’s inauguration of a Metrotram Line 7 extension ahead of the Winter Olympics. It also flags a Guardian report that truck and bus emissions cost Australia $6.2 bn in health effects each year, and curates video‑driven explorations of the Northern line split, Victoria Coach Station, and the abandoned Curzon Street station. The collection underscores ongoing digital, infrastructural, and environmental shifts reshaping mobility.
