    Transport Scotland Strategic Transport Projects Review Report 3 Generation, Sifting and Appraisal of Interventions Annex 1 Initial Appraisal Intervention 135: New Rail Line between Wemyss Bay and Largs Estimated total Public Sector Funding Requirement: Capital Costs/grant £100m - £500m - - - - - - 0 + ++ +++ Summary Impact Improve Journey Times and Connections on Key Strategic Reduce Emissions Outcomes Improve Quality, Accessibility and Affordability (Judgement based on available information against a 7pt. scale.) Intervention Description: Construction of a new direct rail link between Wemyss Bay and Largs. Summary: Rationale for Not Progressing The benefits of this intervention, at a strategic level, are considered to be relatively small as this only provides a small increase in capacity. Alternative rail-based interventions are more likely to contribute to the objective of increasing capacity and reducing journey times between Glasgow and Inverclyde/Ayrshire and would represent a better solution in terms of value for money.

  • Gourock-Dunoon Ferry Service: Feasibility Study of a Future Passenger and Vehicle Service with the Vehicle Portion Being Non-Subsidised
    PROJECT Gourock-Dunoon Ferry Service: Feasibility Study of a Future Passenger and Vehicle Service with the Vehicle Portion being non-Subsidised Funding: National (United Kingdom) Duration: Nov 2012 - Jul 2013 Status: Complete with results Background & policy context: Until July 2011, Cowal Ferries operated a passenger and vehicle ferry service across the Firth of Clyde between Gourock and Dunoon town centres. Since then, the Argyll Ferries town centre service has carried foot-passengers only, the service being provided by two passenger ferries. The Gourock-Dunoon route is the busiest ferry crossing in Scotland and the two existing ferry services (Argyll Ferries and Western Ferries’ passenger and vehicle service) provide a key link between Cowal / Dunoon and the central belt. Objectives: In November 2012 MVA Consultancy, together with The Maritime Group (International) Limited, were commissioned by Transport Scotland to carry out a feasibility study on future ferry services between Dunoon and Gourock town centres. The overarching aim of the study was to determine the feasibility of a service with the vehicle-carrying portion of the service operating without subsidy and the passenger- carrying portion being subsidised in a manner compatible with EU law. Other funding sources: Transport Scotland Organisation: Transport Scotland Key Results: There are a range of key potential 'upside' aspects (eg lower vessel GT, pier & berthing dues reduced through negotiation, Western Ferries retrenchment) and 'downside' aspects (eg higher GT, higher crewing levels and competitive response from Western Ferries) which could affect the service and the balance of these would be crucial in determining the ultimate feasibility of the town centre passenger and vehicle service.

  • Newsletter No.6
    Newsletter No.6 Stuart McMillan MSP Greenock and Inverclyde Constituency Serving Port Glasgow, Greenock, Gourock, Wemyss Bay and Inverkip Hello and welcome to my latest newsletter. It has been a very eventful few months with both the Council elections and the recent General Election. The rules of Purdah mean that I have had to refrain from sending out my monthly newsletter as normal. First of all, I’d like to congratulate Ronnie Cowan on his successful re-election as MP for Inverclyde. Ronnie has been a hard working MP and has set off on a project to help deliver social and economic opportunities locally. This is a project that I am sure he can complete with another 5 years at the helm. I look forward to working with him to ensure that happens. I would also like to congratulate all of our recently elected councillors, including those who are new to their prospective roles. I look forward to working with them all over the coming years. I was delighted to pledge my support for the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) Campaign. The Scottish Government have campaigned tirelessly for a better deal for our older people – including by supporting the excellent WASPI campaign. In the Scottish Parliament, we have protected and invested in vital social policies like free personal care for the elderly and will protect the Winter Fuel Payment. The Scottish Government will continue to fully support the WASPI campaign in their efforts to secure fairness for the millions of women affected. Health Secretary Confirms No Cuts to ITU at IRH The Greenock Telegraph recently reported that employees and consultants have been informally told that the Intensive Treatment Unit (ITU) which caters for patients at the IRH who need intensive treatment after an operation, will close in January.

  • Port Glasgow in the 18Th Century Stuart Nisbet
    RLHF Journal Vol.3 (1991/2) 3. The Growth of Port Glasgow in the 18th Century Stuart Nisbet The importance of Port Glasgow in its role as Glasgow's early sea port is undeniable. However most general histories of Glasgow have concentrated on the port’s through trade and paid little attention to the town or its people. Despite being administered from Glasgow, Port Glasgow has a rich history of its own, which has been largely ignored to date (1). Recently a detailed study of the town’s feuars has provided an insight into its early development and its people. The 18th century growth of Port Glasgow is illustrated in Figure 1, summarised in three main phases. From its founding in 1668 right on the shore, houses gradually spread up Custom House Lane. From 1675 breast work was built along the sea to the west and warehouses and cellars established to serve shipping (2). The town's early rate of growth was remarkable. In the period from 1700 to 1780 the population doubled every two decades (3). The second phase of growth was the general development inland up narrow lanes and closes from the Breast towards King Street. The original expansion around Custom House lane had been haphazard, but from 1718 a planned layout was established, with the building of the first church. Kirk Street leading from the shore to the church, together with King Street at right angles, formed the basis for Glasgow Council's grid plan of the town. Town planning was often enforced in a retrospective manner, such as in 1677 when several unauthorised buildings were taken down 'to allow those who have feued to build' (4).

  • Administration and Divisions
    COMMUNICATIONS 1 45 The palmy days of canal traffic both for passengers and goods have passed away. As railways were extended the importance of canals declined. The complete explana- tion of this is by no means easy. It has been attributed to their passing into the control of railway companies, but this explanation is not satisfactory. The smallness of the vessels in use and the consequent additional handling of goods undoubtedly militate against the greater use of canals in these days, when the whole tendency is to handle and carry goods in as large amounts as possible. With the adoption of improved methods of traction or propulsion, there seems no good reason why the importance of canal traffic should not to some extent be restored. 21. Administration and Divisions. Renfrew was originally included with Lanark as an administrative unit, the .separation having been made by King Robert III at the beginning of the fifteenth century. At first the position of sheriff was a hereditary one, and was held by one of the powerful families of the county. The first sheriff that we know of was John Semple of Eliotstoun, who held office in 1426 soon after Renfrew and Lanark were separated. The office remained in the Semple family till it was transferred to the Earl of Eglinton in 1648. Until the Reformation the lands belonging to the Abbey of Paisley were not under the jurisdiction of the sheriff. The abbot was supreme, and had his gallows for hanging men, and his pit for drowning women M. R. 10 146 malefactors.

  • Guide to Wemyss Bay 1879
    Guide to Wemyss Bay, Skelmorlie, Inverkip, Largs and surrounding districts . – Published 1879 This download text is provided by the McLean Museum and Art Gallery, Greenock - © 2009 WEMYSS BAY. Although included in the quoad sacra Parish of Skelmorlie, Wemyss Bay is a separate group of houses, lying on the north side of the railway station, and, like Skelmorlie, is a watering-place of modern origin. The houses, numbering in all about 20, are irregularly built in a bay, with a beautiful beach gently sloping down to the water's edge, and securely sheltered from the north and east winds by a range of well-wooded heights. At either extremity, the bay is bounded by red sandstone rocks of irregular appearance, worn and honey-combed by the action of the waves. “A considerable extent of the beach to the north of the bay is also composed of this same red sandstone, intermingled with a coarse conglomerate and dykes of trap, but in several places it relaxes into a kind of rough gravel or shingle, which forms a convenient footing for the bather, and affords an easy launching place for small fishing boats, and other kindred craft.” Originally, Wemyss Bay formed part of the Ardgowan estate, (Sir Michael Shaw Stewart's), and was given to Wallace of Kelly in return for the lands of Finnock, in the year 1814. Kelly was sold in two distinct and nearly equal portions,—Mr. Scott of Glasgow purchasing the one (Kelly portion), and Mr. Wilsone Brown (also of Glasgow) being the purchaser of the other. The latter built the Castle (Castle Wemyss), and feued several portions of the ground, but was obliged to sell in the year 1860, when Mr.
