  • Henbury Loop
    Henbury Loop Feasibility Study on reopening. South West Transport Development CIC Introduction South West Transport Development was asked by Charlotte Leslie MP to conduct a study as to whether the Henbury Loop Line should be reopened for passenger use. The study looks at the financial and social need for reopening the railway line, considering factors such as localities of bus stops and road access. The study looks at reopening 3 stations: North Filton, Henbury and Chittening. These stations have been chosen because opening them would bring substantial benefit to the community by bringing jobs and investment into the local areas. This study also looks at the transport interchanges between bus and rail. There will be a number of passengers that will travel to and from the stations by bus. Currently, a number of bus stops are not placed conveniently placed at railway stations and not clearly marked from the railway station; stations like Chittening do not have a bus stop at all. This study also identifies ways to reduce congestion and help in the enforcement of the residents parking zones. Roads such as the A38 and A4018 are very busy at peak times and will benefit from people transferring to rail to make their journey. If used in conjunction with park and ride, congestion on the A38 especially could be reduced significantly which would cut pollution down. Having a joint park and ride with the option of bus and rail would increase the usage as it would provide more options for traveling into Bristol. Existing services: The Henbury Loop Line is currently a freight only line which carries goods to and from Avonmouth Docks.

Purpose 1.1 To set out the West of England’s response to the Department for Transport’s (DfT) consultation on the new Great Western Franchise and note the preferred location for the new Henbury station. 2 Great Western Franchise 2.1 The current Great Western Franchise operated by Great Western Railway (GWR) will, following a one year extension, finish at the end of March 2020. Subject to negotiation GWR will be awarded a new 2 year Direct Award to continue operating services to 2022 with a possible 2 year extension to 2024. This will help to minimise disruption to services during a period of great change. The Direct Award will then be replaced with a new franchise of a yet to be determined length. 2.2 The DfT are consulting on what the new Great Western Franchise should look like. This consultation is earlier than expected necessitating this report to the 2 February 2017 Joint Committee. It is the opportunity for the West of England to clearly set out its requirements for the new franchise (see section 3). The consultation document makes several references to MetroWest which is welcome recognition of how far the scheme has progressed. Closing date for responses is 21 February 2018 3 Requirements for the new franchise 3.1 There are three key West of England requirements for the new Franchise: 1) MetroWest services 2) New rolling stock to meet current and future demand 3) 15 minute frequencies on key urban routes and other new and enhanced services 3.2 These are summarised below whilst the full detailed response, which has been drawn up by officers from all four councils and WECA, can be found in Appendix One.
