PDF-139-1 2 The Trolleybus - A Brief History 1911-1972 The trolleybus dates back to 29th April 1882, when Dr. Ernst Werner Siemens demonstrated his "Elektromote" in a Berlin suburb, with the experiment continuing until 13th June 1882, after which developments in Europe waned. Max Schiemann opened the world's fourth passenger carrying trolleybus system on 10th July 1901, which operated at Bielathal (Biela Valley, near Dresden), in Germany. Schiemann is credited with developing the under-running trolley current collection system with two horizontally parallel overhead wires and rigid trolleypoles spring- loaded to hold them up to the wires. Although this system operated only until 1904, Schiemann had developed what was to become the standard trolleybus current collection system. Interest in 'Trackless Trolley Systems' in Britain started in the early 1900's when many such systems were introduced abroad.

  • The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014
    Transport and TWAO Document Ref. C-1 Works Act 1992 The Leeds Trolley Vehicle System Order Business Case Leeds NGT: Business Case Review January 2014 Leeds NGT – Business Case Review Executive Summary The Leeds New Generation Transport (NGT) project will be a 14.8km trolleybus network with lines to: I Holt Park (North Line) I Stourton (South Line) The scheme includes Park & Ride sites on the North Line at Bodington and at the South Line terminus at Stourton. NGT will provide a high quality, highly segregated, rapid transit service with high capacity, greater punctuality and faster journey times than bus services. It will significantly improve the quality of public transport in Leeds and provide an attractive alternative to private car travel. NGT is being jointly promoted by the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (Metro) and Leeds City Council (LCC). It will open to passengers in early 2020. On award of Programme Entry to the NGT Project, DfT committed capital funding of £173.5 million towards the investment cost of the trolleybus solution as specified in the funding approval. The Promoters will contribute further to this. This document fulfils DfT’s requirements for a Business Case submission. It sets out NGT’s: I Strategic Case I Economic Case I Financial Case I Commercial Case I Management Case The Strategic Case sets out the scheme context and includes a description of the problems and issues which NGT will help to resolve. It sets out the scheme objectives and describes how the Preferred Option was developed. The Strategic Case demonstrates that NGT will make a strong contribution to meeting national, regional and local policy objectives.

PDF-200-1 3 The Stage Waggon Getting Around Before The 1700's Up until the latter part of the 1500's the only reliable form of passenger transport was the horse; although rudimentary carts and waggons existed they were not generally used as public transport. It was not until towards the close of the century that the waggon became used as a public conveyance and even then only on rare occasions.

  • EBC(4)-39-12 Paper 4
    Enterprise and Business Committee Inquiry into Integrated Public Transport This document forms the written evidence of FirstGroup plc (First) to the Enterprise and Business Committee inquiry into Integrated Public Transport. The terms of reference and Key Issues are reproduced below in bold, with the response from First following in italics under each heading. First Cymru is the leading provider of local bus services across much of south Wales, in addition to the high quality express Greyhound coach service between Swansea and Cardiff. First Cymru operates a fleet of over 320 vehicles operating out of local depots in Cardiff, Maesteg, Bridgend, Port Talbot, Swansea, Llanelli and Ammanford/Ty Croes, and employs approximately 750 people. First Great Western (FGW) operates mainline passenger rail services from South Wales to London Paddington, together with services linking Cardiff with the south coast of England and Somerset. Services that operate between South Wales and England represent approximately 27% of FGW total revenue. The Great Western Rail Utilisation Strategy predicted growth in passenger journeys between 2008 and 2019 to be at least 32%. This has proved to be an underestimate with some areas already experiencing growth of 41%, and FGW has invested in services and rolling stock to deal with this extra demand. The terms of reference for the inquiry are: How well is Welsh public transport integrated, particularly in relation to bus, rail and community transport services, and what factors limit integration? Integration between bus and rail services in Wales is currently dichotomous between urban and rural areas. Whilst urban areas such as Cardiff, Swansea and Newport show a degree of successful integration due to their proximity to main line rail services coupled dense local bus networks serving local areas, this is not necessarily true for more rural areas and is therefore difficult to quantify.

  • Select Committee on Public Transportation
    Agenda Item 5 Select Committee on Public Transportation Tuesday 30th March, 2010 Best Practice 1. Summary Statement 1.1 This report outlines examples of best practice, providing good examples for Transport Authorities and Local Authorities. These are drawn from Local Authority Areas in England outside of Greater London, as their governance arrangements are significantly different to the rest of the country. 1.2 The report focuses on Demand Responsive Transport, Community Transport, Bus Rapid Transit, Express Transit, Bus Quality Partnerships and Air Quality Improvements on the bus network. Further Information attached for your information. 2. Recommendations 2.1 That the Select Committee on Public Transportation consider how the examples of best practice outlined in this report can be used to improve public transport in Sandwell. 2.2 That the Select Committee on Public Transportation express these considerations in its final report. 3. Contact Officer Richard White Transportation Planning 0121 569 4894 4. Best Practice Demand Responsive Transport Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services provide transport "on demand" from passengers using fleets of vehicles scheduled to pick up and drop off people in accordance with their needs. DRT is an intermediate form of transport, somewhere between bus and taxi and covers a wide range of transport services ranging from less formal community transport through to area-wide service networks. In recent years, the ability of DRT concepts to provide efficient, viable transport services has been greatly enhanced by the use of transport telematics, such as Automated Vehicle Locationing (AVL) systems. These are used to provide real-time information on the status and location of the fleet.
