A G E N D a Please Address Any General Enquiries on This Agenda to Graham Warrington on Oxford 815321 Public Transport, 31/08/00, Agenda Meeting PUBLIC TRANSPORT SUB-COMMITTEE Date Thursday 31 August 2000 Time 2.00 pm Place County Hall, Oxford A G E N D A Please address any general enquiries on this agenda to Graham Warrington on Oxford 815321. Media enquiries should be directed to the Press Office on Oxford 815266. This agenda can also be viewed on the Council's web site, oxfordshireonline (www.oxfordshire.gov.uk). 1. Election to Chair (Labour Group) 2. Apologies for Absence and Temporary Appointments 3. Declarations of Pecuniary and Non-Pecuniary Interests 4. Minutes Minutes of the meeting held on 27 April 2000 (PT4). 5. Matters arising from the Minutes 6. Petitions and Public Address OPERATIONAL ITEMS 7. RURAL BUS CHALLENGE Report by Director of Environmental Services (PT7). Government grant totalling £1,002,000, ring-fenced for four specified rural taxibus services, has been won by the County Council. Formal authorisation is required before the projects can be implemented. Officers will report back to members in the event that details of any project change from those in Annex 1 to the officers report, or controversial issues arise. Controversy has already arisen over the proposed taxibus feeder to the existing Oxford-London coach stop at M40 junction 6 (Lewknor). Lewknor Parish Council oppose the existing coach stop and associated parking, and have expressed opposition to the taxibus. However, unsolicited letters have now been received from 4 other local Councils and the Lewknor Transport Representative in support of the stop. One objective of the taxibus is to offer an alternative to driving to and parking near the coach stop, and the Government grant includes some funds for minor traffic management measures to improve safety at the interchange. The Sub-Committee are RECOMMENDED to: (a) approve: Page 1 (i) the project appraisal for the Bicester Taxibus Service; (ii) implementation of four Rural Bus Challenge Schemes as outlined in Annex 1 of the report; (b) authorise officers to introduce a taxibus link to the existing coach stop at M40 junction 6 (which will continue to be served by coaches in the short-term), whilst continuing to explore alternative locations for a formal Park & Ride site in the vicinity, to which the taxibus service would then be transferred; and (c) in view of staff constraints, not to submit any Rural Bus Challenge bids in 2000, on the basis that submission of further bids will be considered for 2001 and subsequently, once the previous successful bids have been implemented. 8. COTSWOLD LINE STUDY Report by the Director of Environmental Services (PT8). At the end of last year the Sub-Committee set aside up to £5,000 towards further work by consultants on preparing a Rail Passenger Partnership (RPP) bid for the Cotswold Line and a strategy for the four Oxfordshire halts on the line (Combe, Finstock, Ascott-under-Wychwood and Shipton). The Cotswolds and Malverns Transport Partnership – the rail industry/local authority consortium for the line – expects to commission consultants next month to prepare the RPP bid for the line as a whole. This is now expected to cost up to £30,000, and it is suggested that Oxfordshire contributes up to £5,000 towards this work. Thames Trains are keen to pursue a separate fast-track RPP bid to fund lengthening of the platforms at the four Oxfordshire halts so that they can accommodate three-car (instead of two-car) trains, thus increasing peak hour capacity on the line. Thames Trains may seek a contribution towards preperation of this bid. If a significant contribution is needed, the Partnership will be approached to share the cost in view of the wider benefits from increasing overalll capacity on the line. If the halts are improved to three car standard on this basis, a further small study is suggested (funded by Oxfordshire) to examine the case for more trains calling at each of the halts. A firmer estimate of the cost of this work should be possible by the time of the meeting. The Sub-Committee are RECOMMENDED to increase the sum set aside for further work on the Oxfordshire halts and preparation of Rail Passenger Partnership bids for the Cotswold Line to be carried out under the auspices of the Cotswolds and Malverns Transport Partnership (suggested amount to be advised at the meeting in the light of information expected from Thames Trains). 9. PROVISION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT INFORMATION BY COUNTY COUNCIL Report by Director of Environmental Services (PT9). The County Council do not currently publish any printed timetable information and regularly receive calls and written requests for guides or leaflets. Progress made with the proposal by the Government for a national telephone enquiry line resulted in the service being implemented on 31 July. Oxfordshire joined with Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes and formed partnerships with the bus operators to enable the service to come to fruition. Implications of the Transport Bill and Best Value Performance Indicators will involve the County Page 2 Council providing some sort of printed timetable information. This could be in the form of guides or books but will depend on the finance available. The Sub-Committee are RECOMMENDED to: (a) welcome the introduction of the telephone inquiry line which fills a gap in the provision of public transport information; (b) note that officers will report to future meeting on information standards in the light of the proposed Transport Act 2000; (c) consider, taking account of the financial position to be reported orally, whether to fund publication of public transport guides and if so what form and on which distribution basis. 10. UNMET REQUESTS FOR SERVICES Report by Director of Environmental Services (PT10). The Sub-Committee maintains a waiting list of services and other items which it has been unable to fund. This includes requests received for new or improved services as well as for reinstatement of services that have been cut back or withdrawn. It is open to members to ask for any of the outstanding items on the waiting list to be pursued. Prices for some items will be reported under the exempt part of the agenda – see separate report on 'Tenders for New Bus Services'. Any other requests, or protests about service withdrawals, that are received in the meantime will be reported orally. The Sub-Committee are RECOMMENDED to: (a) consider what priority should be given to any new requests, or protests about service withdrawals, which may be received before the meeting and reported orally; (b) consider whether they wish officers to take forward any other items on the waiting list immediately (besides those to be considered under the exempt part of the agenda); and (c) consider whether there are any other items that should be added to (or deleted from) the waiting list. 11. PROVISION OF BUS SHELTERS Report by Director of Environmental Services (PT11). This report presents a number of new applications made for shelter grants since the Sub-Committee's last meeting. Information is also provided on developments concerning grants already awarded. Continuing funding from the Rural Transport Development Fund (RTDF) has been agreed for financial year 2000/2001. Page 3 The Sub-Committee are RECOMMENDED: (a) to agree payment of grant in the sums quoted in Annex 1 to the report for Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor, Langford, Mapledurham, North Aston and Souldern Parish Councils, and any other applications which may be reported orally; (b) subject to any further information which may be received from Oxford City Council and reported orally, to decline Oxford City Council's application for a replacement shelter for Littlemore on the grounds that the application does not appear to be in accordance with the Sub-Committee's policy; (c) to agree to consider an application from Finmere Parish Council for grant for a shelter serving their village and situated in Buckinghamshire, if such an application is made; (d) to note the position set out in the report regarding the confirmed roll-forward of funding from the Rural Transport Development Fund, and the progress of the scheme generally; and (e) to authorise the Director of Environmental Services to determine future applications for shelter grants under this scheme within the terms of the Sub-Committee's established policy and the available financial provision. 12. PUNCTUALITY STANDARDS FOR SUBSIDISED BUS SERVICES The Director of Environmental Services reports as follows: On 27 April 2000 the Sub-Committee agreed revised punctuality standards for subsidised bus services. These higher standards reflect those actually achieved over the last two years, and arose from a suggestion made at the Operators' Forum. They were agreed subject to any adverse comments made by operators. Officers consulted operators on them. Separate comments have so far been received from two Stagecoach subsidiaries and are reproduced herewith (PT12). Any further operator comments received will be reported orally. The comments by both Stagecoach subsidiaries in favour of restricted timetable change dates and by Stagecoach Cheltenham & Gloucester about their aspirations for high punctuality and reliability standards are to be welcomed. The only response which might be taken as objection to the revised standards is the paragraph numbered 2 from Stagecoach Oxford. I have responded to Stagecoach Oxford drawing attention to the existing "let out" clause in all subsidy contracts: "The Contractor shall not be held to be in default of his obligations hereunder if he is prevented from complying therewith by reason of extraordinary weather or traffic conditions, or other cause not within the Contractor's reasonable control." I have told them that, under this clause, officers suspend monitoring if there is known cause of disruption on the route – and would discard any monitoring results if the operator "appealed" on the grounds of some extraordinary delay which officers did not know about at the time, but had confirmed, upon enquiry, later.

  • Subsequent Desirable Development Was Encouraged Along That Line And
    Subsequent desirable development was encouraged along that line and the original Metropolitan line through such towns as Rickmansworth, Amersham and Great Missenden by the railways in the first four decades of the last century under the title of 'Metroland', a nickname particularly dear to Betjeman. From Ashendon Junction, north of Prince's Ris- borough, the G.C.R. swung north to a junction with its original 1899 route at Grendon Underwood, while the G.W.R. went north-west through Bicester to Aynho Junction and Banbury. At Ashendon today's observant traveller between Marylebone and Banbury may still see (where the existing tracks diverge) the remains of the earthworks for the long-gone flyover, similar to the one still in use at the Aynho Junction over the Banbury-Oxford—Paddington line Under the Railways Act 1921 the Great Central Railway was, with effect from 1st January 1923. grouped with a number of other major companies, including the Great Northern Railway, the Great Eastern, the North Eastern and the North British (which served Scotland) into a large concern under the title of the London and North Eastern Railway, usually abbreviated to L.N.E.R. The railways had made a major contribution to the victory of 1918, having been under government control during the First World War. Owing to the laissez-faire attitude of the powers that be during the preceding century the railway system comprised about a score of major companies and well over a hundred minor ones, in contrast to most European continental countries. Nationalisation had been seriously considered but rejected in favour of four major private companies, the other three being the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (the L.M.S.), the Southern Railway and the Great Western Railway, which alone of the four largely retained its pre-grouping identity, except for the absorption of a number of mainly Welsh smaller companies.

  • “Birkenhead Diner,” G.W.R
    No. 11 The “Birkenhead Diner,” G.W.R. First published in the Meccano Magazine November 1927 It is probably correct to claim that the highest regular railway speeds in the whole world are run by the famous two-hour expresses of the Great Western Railway between Paddington and Birmingham. This may seem paradoxical, when the L.M.S. expresses from Euston have Image created using the later and enlarged, “Castle” class locomotive. See end of article. to cover 2 ½ miles further than the Great Western trains in the same time, and when the Great Western itself runs express trains in other directions from Paddington at higher overall average 1 speeds. The explanation lies, of course, in the relative difficulty of these various routes from the locomotive point of view. In the first place, only two of the two-hour trains between Paddington and Birmingham actually make a non-stop run over the 110 ½ miles; they are the 11.10 a.m. and 2.10 p.m. down. Of the other expresses, the 9.10 a.m. down calls at High Wycombe. All the remaining trains in both directions call at Leamington and for the stop there of three minutes, costing at least five minutes in the actual running, no additional time is allowed. This brings the “net” average speed of the trains calling at Leamington up from 55.3 to 57.7 miles an hour; but as certain of the L.M.S. trains call in the same manner at Willesden or Coventry, this does not altogether explain the necessity for exceptional speeds.
