  • Combined Authority Business Plan 2020-21 ______
    Appendix 1 _________________ COMBINED AUTHORITY BUSINESS PLAN 2020-21 _________________ Delivering for the best place in the world to live, learn and work MAYOR’S INTRODUCTION – Standfirst panel photo At the Combined Authority, we are driving forward a slew of plans to keep Cambridgeshire and Peterborough at the cutting edge of national growth. As we build on the devolution deal that gives our region the power to determine its direction and shape its own future, this year’s challenge is to step up momentum, accelerating projects towards delivery. We have shown that the Combined Authority does things differently. We catalyse and enable. Unlocking, unblocking, we’re about turning vision into action, removing obstacles to transform the way people live, work and travel. By harnessing the powerful partnerships and expertise made possible by being ‘combined’, we are revolutionising our region’s out-of-date transport and digital connectivity, pioneering solutions to housing shortages, and upskilling workers to seize opportunity across our region’s evolving economy. So welcome to this, our 2020-21 business plan. It spells out what we’ve achieved already, and what comes next. It’s a plan with community at its heart, aiming to make life better and more prosperous for more people in more places. A plan to attract the investors and employers who can keep us where we want to be, a global go-to for business and leisure. This year is about pushing projects to the next decisive stage - the new University of Peterborough, the new railway stations, the world-class Cambridgeshire Autonomous Metro, bus service reform - and about delivery.

  • Wimbledon, 1951-53 (And a Few Other Railway Memories)
    Wimbledon, 1951-53 (and a few other railway memories) JDB, August 2013, minor additions and corrections May/August 2015 Neither this nor its companion piece “Derby Day, 1949” lays claim to any particular literary or other merit; they are merely pieces of first-hand reportage which may perhaps be of interest to future transport historians. In September 1951, I started going to school in Wimbledon. This involved a train journey morning and evening, an experience which put me off commuting for life but which also led to an interest in railways that still survives. In particular, one of the ways of walking from the station to school followed a footpath alongside the railway for the first half mile or so. Wimbledon is seven miles out of Waterloo, on what was originally the main line of the London and Southampton Railway. In due course, this became the London and South Western, then it was grouped into the Southern Railway, and by 1951 it had become part of British Railways. The lines from Waterloo divide at Clapham Junction, a line towards Windsor and Reading branching off to the north, and there are several connections between the two. One is at Putney, where a steep climb leads up to East Putney station on the Wimbledon branch of the London Underground District Line, and a Waterloo to Wimbledon suburban service via East Putney used this until 1941. Wimbledon station had been completely rebuilt in 1929, and in 1951 it comprised ten platforms. Four were terminal platforms for the District Line, this side of the station being essentially self-contained though there was a connection from the East Putney line to the main line just outside.
