Summer 2017 Newsletter from Railfuture Wessex Branch
Summer 2017 Newsletter from Railfuture Wessex Branch Chairman’s Message Well here we go again with another newsletter, the big news being the winning of the South West franchise by First/MTR. To date we do not think the contract between them and Department for Transport has been completed and so we continue just with a watching brief. The Company’s first public offering *Improving South Western Railway looks at first sight to be good, but on closer study it seems to promise little. We will have to do much work to understand where these improvements can be delivered … and how! Passengers will not be interested in a 10% journey time saving if intermediate stops are to be cut. No doubt this will be the subject of a consultation in due course. In the meantime, good luck to Andy Mellors who is the new MD of South Western Railway, previously having been GWR Engineering Director. *read it online here: http://www.firstgroupplc.com/about-firstgroup/uk-rail/improving-south-western-railway.aspx On the West of England Line (Waterloo-Salisbury-Exeter), we can see no benefits from the new franchise: no new trains, and a journey time saving from Salisbury to Waterloo that can only be achieved by cutting out Woking and Clapham Junction stops. Railfuture is set against that and will mobilise passengers and members to say “no” when the consultation appears. Why the DfT specifies such matters which have no passenger benefit, we do not know … but we will work with First/MTR, local MP’s and rail authorities to ensure long term passenger benefits accrue. -

(Part Three) 1961-1990 Descended from millowner Henry Taylor and wife Sarah (nee Crosland), George Crosland Taylor and brother James were early entrepreneurs with an interest in everything electrical and mechanical. In 1906, George (always referred to as Crosland) bought two cars and a chassis, built by French company Morane, at the same time renting a warehouse in Chester, with the idea of assembling and selling the French designed cars. It soon became apparent that much more capital was needed and various people were persuaded to invest in the new company, including his French associate, Georges de Ville. -
Stagecoach Group Plc Response to the Joint Preliminary Consultation on Automated Vehicles
Stagecoach Group plc Response to the Joint Preliminary Consultation on Automated Vehicles Stagecoach Group plc (“Stagecoach Group”) welcomes the consultation by the Scottish and English Law Commissions on Automated Vehicles. Stagecoach Group is actively participating in trialling automated vehicles in both the depot and public transport environments, working with technology developers, vehicle manufacturers, academia and others. We welcome the consultation as another important initiative in this area. The consultation is wide – ranging in scope and some of the questions posed will be better able to be answered as more information and understanding of automated vehicles and their use in different scenarios emerges. Equally, we do not propose to respond to or comment on all questions but we offer views based on our experience to date as one of the UK’s biggest bus and coach operators, with some 8,000 buses and coaches operating in different environments across the UK. We look forward to future initiatives, particularly the planned consultation on automated vehicles in Mobility as a Service and the challenges of achieving “everything somewhere” later this year. Stagecoach Group: • Stagecoach is an international public transport group, with operations in the UK, the United States and Canada. • We are one of the UK's biggest bus and coach operators with over 8,000 buses and coaches on a network stretching from south-west England to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Our low-cost coach service, megabus.com, operates a network of inter-city services across the UK. • Stagecoach is a major UK rail operator, with an involvement in operating several franchised rail networks, including the East Midlands Trains network. -

There were an additional 1,100 non-UK short-term residents who were not counted as usual residents on the Census day. The population growth rate between 2001 and 2011 at 5.7%, or an annual growth of 3,200 people, was lower than the national average of 7.8%. A third of the growth was attributable to Gloucester where demographic demand for services and infrastructure would have surged during the period. The current population consisted of 136,600 children and young people aged 0- 19, 349,000 adults aged 20-64, and 111,400 older people aged 65 or above. This included an increase in the working age and the older population, and a small reduction in the number of children and young people in the previous 10 years. -
