Colleague Car Parking Permit Policy, Procedures and Guidelines -Effective 1st April 2011 Introduction First Great Western (FGW) operate station car parks as a service to customers travelling by rail. Car parking is provided for some Colleagues that work shifts or are on call as part of their duties. At some locations, car park capacity means that we must ensure that provision for Colleagues does not result in customers being unable to park.

Car parking permits are issued to colleagues based on locations where there is capacity to do so, and unless specifically noted in a local agreement or in a contract of employment, free car parking is not a committed right. FGW encompasses all Colleagues and stations formerly known as Great Western Trains Company Limited, First Great Western Link Limited and Wales & West Passenger Trains Limited. These regulations supersede all previous arrangements for all Colleagues in FGW at all FGW stations. This policy will go live from April 1st 2011.

A couple of months ago all that could be seen here was an apparent forest — many walking past may bidders will be expected to offer options not have realised there was a railway there at all. Although some view this policy as to replace the HSTs, an ‘industry-wide’ controversial as it can involve the felling of long established trees, Network Rail’s policy of approach will be taken instead. clearing vegetation at leaf fall black spots should result in less delays to passengers and reduced rail maintenance costs.

  • Maidenhead Bridge Proposed Work
    W01-W05.Maidenhead 25/8/04 5:19 PM Page 1 W1.1 Maidenhead Bridge Proposed Work The Maidenhead Bridge over the River Thames at Maidenhead is a Grade II* listed structure. Installation of overhead electrification on top of the structure would be required. The design is being undertaken in conjunction with heritage specialists to help ensure that the impact on the structure is acceptable. Once installed, the gantries are likely to be visible on the bridge from viewpoints along the river and nearby. As an example, electrification for the Heathrow Express involved the provision of overhead electrification over Wharncliffe Viaduct in Ealing.
