(RIHSAC) Presentation
Welcome to RIHSAC 94 Dilip Sinha, Secretary, RIHSAC 15 October 2013 1 Who’s minding the gap? John Cartledge Safety Policy Adviser Presentation to RIHSAC 15 October 2013 Why does platform edge risk matter to passengers? “At Clapham Junction the height gap between the platform and the trains on platform 15 is a health and safety issue. Towards the eastern end of the platform I have seen elderly people unable to disembark because the gap was unmanageable.” Joanna Moorhead Thursday 22 December 2011 Yes, I do mind the gap – you don't have to be drunk to fall under a train As public information campaigns go, this one seemed a cracker. Travelling while you're drunk is dangerous; and to make the point in the runup to Christmas, British Transport police have released CCTV images of a drunken passenger on a train as she staggers off it. Thankfully, the woman in the film is fine, because someone saw her fall and the train was delayed while she was hauled from under it. But seeing those images makes me furious, because despite what Network Rail might like us to believe, you don't have to be drunk to fall under a train. According to the staff at my local station, Clapham Junction in south-west London, it happens to entirely sober passengers on a regular basis, because of ever-bigger gaps between platforms and trains. I know this is true, because over the last three years my daughters, who travel to secondary school through Clapham Junction, have twice told me about incidents in which friends of theirs fell on to the tracks. -

Abstract This paper examines the siting and construction of a Magnox nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast. The station was initially welcomed by local politicians as a solution to unemployment but was criticised by an organised group of local communist activists who predicted how the restriction zone would restrict future development. Oral history interviews provide insights into conditions on the construction site and the social effects on the nearby town. Archive material reveals the spatial and development restrictions imposed with the building of the power station, which remains on the shoreline as a monument to the ‘atomic age’. This material is contextualised in the longer economic and social history of a town that moved from the shadow of nineteenth century paternalistic industry into the glare of the nuclear construction program and became an early example of the eclipsing of local democracy by the centralised nuclear state. -
England Coast Path Report 2 Sizewell to Dunwich
www.gov.uk/englandcoastpath England Coast Path Stretch: Aldeburgh to Hopton-on-Sea Report AHS 2: Sizewell to Dunwich Part 2.1: Introduction Start Point: Sizewell beach car park (grid reference: TM 4757 6300) End Point: Dingle Marshes south, Dunwich (grid reference: TM 4735 7074) Relevant Maps: AHS 2a to AHS 2e 2.1.1 This is one of a series of linked but legally separate reports published by Natural England under section 51 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, which make proposals to the Secretary of State for improved public access along and to this stretch of coast between Aldeburgh to Hopton-on-Sea. 2.1.2 This report covers length AHS 2 of the stretch, which is the coast between Sizewell and Dunwich. It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 2.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change. -

Fynn - Lark Ews May 2019
Fynn - Lark ews May 2019 HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS May is traditionally a month to enjoy the great outdoors in mild and fragrant weather. Whether that means looking for a romantic maypole to dance around, trying to stay ahead of the rapid garden growth or merely enjoying the longer days and busy birdsong, it is for some a month to get outside and appreciate the English countryside we have access to, right on our doorsteps. This year sees the 70th anniversary of the creation of our National Parks – not that we have one in easy reach in Suffolk – but the same legislation required all English Parish Councils to survey all their footpaths, bridleways and byways, as the start of the legal process to record where the public had a right of way over the countryside.

St.Paul's Church, Hills Rd, Cambridge Is the New Venue for Our Next Branch Meeting on Saturday, 7 December at 14.00 Hrs
ISSUE160 December 2013 Internet at www.railfuture.org.uk www.railfuture.org.uk/east html St.Paul's Church, Hills Rd, Cambridge is the new venue for our next Branch Meeting on Saturday, 7 December at 14.00 hrs. The main topic will be Cambridge Railway Station and its development within the larger scheme for CB1 submitted by Brookgate Developments. Our Guest Speaker will Geraint Hughes of Greater Anglia Railways with, hopefully, contributions from a representative of Brookgate. There will be plenty of opportunity for questions. The focus will not be on the Brookgate scheme per se, but on its relationship to the railway and its customers. So do join us for what promises to be a stimulating meeting. 1 NEWS Halesworth Station Footfall Count 2013 Railfuture East Anglia joined up with the East Suffolk Travellers' Association at Halesworth Station on October 17th to count the passengers using trains and buses from the station, Reports, Mike Farahar. The numbers were up an impressive 43% compared to the same time last year following the introduction of an hourly train service on the northern part of the Ipswich to Lowestoft line following investment in the passing loop at Beccles, and the improvements to the bus service between Halesworth and Southwold. Every train was surveyed,from 05.56 to 23.10 and 337 passengers boarded or alighted, compared to 235 in 2012. The number of bus transfers was also encouraging but would benefit from additional advertising including marketing the possibility of using the bus from Bungay as a feeder service into the trains. -
