BISC MINIBUSES Your FREE Transport Service EXPLORE! Fall Term 2018 1 Take advantage of the FREE minibus service 7 days a week during term time. Our friendly and knowledgeable drivers Darren, Lynne, Libby and Katie will take you to local towns and villages, beaches, walks, tours, places of interest, volunteering opportunities and sports facilities. The minibus also links you to public transport buses and trains. HOW IT WORKS Monday through Thursday Minibuses mostly run to local towns for trains and public buses, shopping and banking, cinemas, sports facilities and volunteering opportunities. Friday through Sunday Get out and explore the local area. Each week there are minibus trips to various places, as well as railway station drops and pick-ups. WHAT YOU DO • Check out the weekly schedules and destination leaflets displayed at: Bader Hall Reception (plus destination leaflets) Castle Reception Online at: https://www.queensu.ca/bisc/current-students/getting-around/minibus/minibus- schedule (Plus, destination leaflets, maps of local towns, train and bus timetables) • The destination leaflets give you an idea of what there is to do, frequency of trips and how long it will take you to get there. • Choose the trips you want to take and sign up at Bader Hall Reception. Please also sign up for any special trips put on at your request. • Get on the bus at Castle Reception. • If you change your mind, take your name off the list so someone else can ride the bus in your place. • If you’d like to go somewhere specific on a particular day (journey distance no more than one hour away, please – check Google Maps), e-mail [email protected] by 5pm on the Tuesday of the week before, e.g. by 5pm on Tuesday of week 2 for a trip during week 3. • Just one last very important detail: NO alcohol may be carried or consumed on any vehicle owned or hired by the BISC. 2 LINKS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT Use the minibus as a ‘jumping off’ point for more travel options Railways Railways are usually the fastest, though not the cheapest, form of public transport.

    Bluebell Railway Education Department Along the Line

    BLUEBELL RAILWAY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ALONG THE LINE FOR SCHOOLS SHEFFIELD PARK STATION 1. Approaching the station buildings along the drive, the picnic area can be seen to the right, adjacent to the River Ouse, where lunch can be taken. The river is little more than a stream today but it was once navigable from the sea at Newhaven to just short of Balcombe Viaduct – on the London to Brighton main line between Haywards Heath and Balcombe. The 11 million bricks used to construct the viaduct were transported up river from Lewes by barge. 2. The station is built in the Queen Anne country architectural style, a style used at all stations on the line and is painted in the colours of the line's initial operators, the London Brighton and South Coast Railway. The year in which the line opened – 1892 -can be found in the decorative plasterwork on the front of the station building. Passengers enter the station via the booking hall and purchase their old fashioned Edmondson cardboard tickets from the booking office. The station was originally lit by oil lamps but is now lit by a mix of evocative gas lighting and more modern electric lights. It sits astride the Greenwich Meridian, the exact (Photo: Bluebell Archives) location being marked by a plaque at the north end of platform 1. 3. The Railway houses and maintains its fleet of mainly steam locomotives at the station - currently it has some thirty engines in stock although only ten or so are in service at any given time – they need a boiler inspection and a new certificate every ten years.

This report includes the necessary risk assessment to support the chosen option. 1.2 Reason for the risk assessment This risk assessment has been produced in conjunction with the East Sussex Resignalling project which will see the abolition of Polegate Signalbox and the renewal of Polegate MCB Crossing. This document demonstrates the decision making undertaken in determining the practicability of this proposal and the evaluation of the necessary safety measures required at the level crossing; culminating in a single preferred option. This document is derived from and fulfils the guidance criteria stipulated. The signalling renewal works associated with this project, East Sussex re-signalling, is driven by asset condition, safety and obsolescence. The project is also part of the National Operating Strategy (NOS) scheme which will achieve the signalling renewal and the Control Period 4 (CP4) operating strategy objectives through the re- signalling of the East Sussex line.

Gwynn Jones) SIDELINES 143 FEBRUARY 2016 WOLVERHAMPTON LOW LEVEL STATION COMES BACK TO LIFE FOR HRA AWARDS NIGHT. The Grand Station banqueting centre, once the GWR’s most northerly broad gauge station, came back to life as a busy passenger station when it hosted the Heritage Railway Association 2015 Awards Night. The HRA Awards recognise a wide range of achievements and distinctions across the entire heritage railway industry, and the awards acknowledge individuals and institutions as well as railways. The February 6th event saw the presentation of awards in eight categories. The National Railway Museum and York Theatre Royal won the Morton’s Media (Heritage Railways) Interpretation Award, for an innovative collaboration that joined theatre with live heritage steam, when the Museum acted as a temporary home for the theatre company. The Railway Magazine Annual Award for Services to Railway Preservation was won by David Woodhouse, MBE, in recognition of his remarkable 60-year heritage railways career, which began as a volunteer on the Talyllyn Railway, and took him to senior roles across the heritage railways and tourism industry. The North Yorkshire Moors Railway won the Morton’s Media (Rail Express) Modern Traction Award, for their diesel locomotive operation, which included 160 days working for their Crompton Class 25. There were two winners of the Steam Railway Magazine Award. The Great Little Trains of North Wales was the name used by the judges to describe the Bala Lake Railway, Corris Railway, Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway, Talyllyn Railway, Vale of Rheidol Railway and the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway.

This document describes our Penalty Fares Scheme for the purposes of rule 3.2 b. 1.2 We have decided to introduce a Penalty Fares Scheme because the previous operator of the railway passenger services comprised of the Thameslink Great Northern franchise, First Capital Connect and Southern Railways, operated a Penalty Fares Scheme in such franchise area and the experience has proved that it is an efficient means to deter ticketless travel. In addition, once some Southeastern routes and stations are integrated into the TSGN franchise from 14 December 2014 and once the entire current Southern franchise is integrated into the TSGN franchise on 26th July 2015, it is important that there is consistency across all franchise areas (as Southeastern and Southern both also operate a Penalty Fares Scheme); so as to avoid causing confusion for our passengers. This scheme will now include all stations under schemes previously operated by Govia Thameslink Railway Limited and Southern Railway Limited.
