XonDon: M'^CORQUODALE & CO., LIMITED, PRINTERS, CARDINGTON STREET. 1904. ^7 A77373S" PREFACE. Owing to suggestions made from time to time by old comrades in railway life, I have been induced to put together some record of the part I have taken in connection with the inner working of Railways; going back to very early experiences, and through gradual developments extending over a long series of years, to the time when it became advisable for me to retire from the daily pressure of the work. A railway service commencing in 1847, carries one back a long way towards association with those who were the actual pioneers of our railway system ; from whom we learnt our first lessons, by whose successes we have profited, by whose failures we have acquired knowledge ; and on whose foundation we have endeavoured to raise a superstructure of so sub- stantial a character, that those who follow in our steps will have no reason to be ashamed of their predecessors.

Overview of Transport for West Midlands Activities Agenda Item 12(B)
Agenda Item 12(b) Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council 16 October 2018 Transport for West Midlands Report by Councillor Roger Horton _________________________________________________________ Overview of Transport for West Midlands Activities 1. Commonwealth Games Following discussions with Birmingham City Council, the Host City of the Commonwealth Games, it has been agreed from a governance perspective that the transport plan for both Games time transport operations and delivery of the infrastructure projects will be led by Laura Shoaf, MD, TfWM. This will be on a one team, one network philosophy with the Director of Network Resilience (Anne Shaw), supporting Laura developing the Games Time Operations transport plan and also the Assistant Director of Transport and Connectivity at Birmingham City Council (Phil Edwards) who will lead on the infrastructure delivery. The transport team will report into the Commonwealth Games strategic board and work with the Organising Committee, which is in the process of being recruited to, to ensure that transport meets the needs of the Games and ensure that the region can operate without too much impact. As part of the governance, the Joint Transport Group has now been established which includes officers from Sandwell (led by Andy Miller), and work is progressing on developing the transport plan, the games route network and undertaking the modelling and forecasting. We are also working through the budget development with government with all of the partners for submission to Treasury. Page 1 of 17 Venue transport working groups have also been set up so that we can understand the requirements for accessing the sites including the Sandwell Aquatic Centre.

DUDLEY TO WOLVERHAMPTON LOW LEVEL by Roger Davis The line from Oxford to Wolverhampton, constructed by the Oxford, Worcester & Wolverhampton Railway (OWW), was finally extended from Dudley to Wolverhampton on 1 April 1854 for goods and 1 July 1854 for passengers. This was nearly 9 years after the Act of Parliament authorised the building of the line on 7 August 1845. The estimated cost by Isambard Kingdom Brunel of £1.5 million for the 89 mile mixed gauge line (7’ and 4’ 8½”) was finally exceeded by nearly £1 million, and at one stage the GWR refused to back the completion of the line on financial grounds … until it found out that the London & North Western Railway (LNWR) and Midland Railway (MR) were both interested in taking over.

Campaigning by the Railway Development Society Ltd. Network Rail West Midlands & Chilterns Route Utilisation Strategy - Draft for Consultation Response by railfuture West Midlands and Chiltern RUS Consultation Response RUS Programme Manager Network Rail Floor 4 Kings Place 90 York Way London N1 9AG Dear Sir, This consolidated national response has been prepared after consultations with the following railfuture branches: West Midlands, East Midlands, Lincolnshire, London & South East, Thames Valley, East Anglia and South Wales. The Railfuture national Passenger Committee was also consulted. Railfuture is a national voluntary group organised in England as twelve regional branches. This response has been led on behalf of Railfuture by the principal stakeholder, the West Midlands Branch, with contributions from the other branches directly affected. The document has been reviewed and a number of drafts sent out to contributors, leading to amendments before the response was finalised. Generally - We welcome the work that has gone into gathering the detail on network capacity and existing services described in the draft West Midlands and Chilterns RUS. It is well known that there has been a steady growth in the number of rail passengers on all routes in the region and it is clear that overcrowding on these routes is now a major concern. Therefore we welcome, in general terms, the recommendations in the RUS but we have identified some gaps and most importantly have structured our response giving a priority for the interventions proposed. Structure of Response - The response has three parts, part 1 includes the interventions that we consider have top priority, generally these have far reaching Regional economic implications.

Sandwell MBC
Sandwell MBC Dudley Port Supplementary Planning Document Regulation 12(a) Report of Consultation and Consultation Statement November 2017 Introduction This report sets out the consultation that took place in the lead up to and during public consultation of the Sandwell MBC Draft Dudley Port Supplementary Planning Document (in this document referred to as the Draft SPD) from 26 June to 7 August 2017. It reviews the consultation responses received, the number of representations made and a summary of the main issues raised by the representations. This document has been prepared in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 which requires that Local Authorities set out the persons the local planning authority consulted when preparing the supplementary planning document, a summary of the main issues raised with the consultation responses, and how those issues have been addressed. Once adopted, the Dudley Port Supplementary Planning Document will form part of the council’s Local Plan. Background The Dudley Port Supplementary Planning Document has been prepared to highlight how the area stretching from Oldbury Town Centre to Dudley Port can adopt Garden City Principles to create an environment which will improve the quality of life for those living, working or visiting the area. This includes improving accessibility to housing and employment, nature and green spaces through more intense use of the canal network and the public transport provision, especially with the potential for Dudley Port Railway Station becoming an Interchange for rail, bus and Midland Metro. Increased usage of the green spaces and canal network will provide additional sources of recreation and leisure as well as acting as commuter routes.
