Name of Meeting QTP Executive Board Name of meeting QTP Executive Board Date and time Tuesday 24 June 2014 at 10:30 Venue Upstairs Conference Room, Seaclose Offices, Fairlee Road, Newport Present David Rogers (DR) – Chair, Morris Barton (MB) – Chamber of Commerce, Matt Kitchin (MK) – Southern Vectis (SV), Cllr John Medland (JM), Steve Porter (SP) Transport Group, Hugh Walding (HW) – Friends of the Earth (FOE), Chris Wells (CW) – IWC, Emma Brown (EB) – IWC (minute taker) 1 Apologies Bobby Lock (BL) – Community Rail Partnership (CRP) 2 Items raised by QTP Users Group The last meeting was held on 13 May 2014. Tricia Merrifield from IW Bridleways Group presented a paper outlining issues of horses on roads. It was also suggested that the Freight Forum be reinstated. Island Line • DfT and SWT have both made it clear that they have no wish to see Island Line close. CW and DR have been working with Roger Berrisford, a local rail expert on a report which explores a number of possible options for the future of the line. DfT and SWT are aware of this work which is hoped will help inform further discussion. • It is important to retain and improve access between the settlements along the route and Ryde with its mainland connections via Wightlink and Hovertravel. The Steam Railway would like to connect to Island Line and get back into Ryde. • CW was hoping to work with SWT on an options paper but it was clear following recent meeting hosted by them that this wasn’t going to be possible. The way forward is likely to arrange a meeting with those who were at Havenstreet meeting but without SWT and DfT. Agree a way forward and go then go back to DfT with preferred options. It looks positive as we’re ahead of schedule. MK asked what the status of Ryde Pier is as he thought millions were needed to be spent on it. CW said that works were carried out to the line after the winter storms which cost a considerable amount. Some work to the Pier was done at this time but it was felt unlikely that further work to the pier will be carried out before the end of the current franchise. Buses • Number 12 bus was supposed to have bike racks but this hasn’t happened. New timetable is better as it includes ferry crossings and community bus times. Need to look at connections with number 4 to East Cowes – MK says 1 they can’t ensure connection for people getting off and people getting on but if you’re quick you can just about do it. This bus has become increasingly popular due to people visiting Waitrose and Osborne House. • MB felt that pedestrian crossing between Prince of Wales pub and the entrance to Osborne House is dangerous and should be moved away from the corner. • It was noted that Red Funnel is now operating the bus from Town Quay to Southampton Central train station and it runs every half an hour. The cost is £1 but this is refunded when you buy a Red Funnel ticket. Real Time Information (RTI) • Timetable has slipped but RTI could still happen in some form. Will Ainslie (WA), LSTF Project Manager, progressed it as best he could but a range of issues including sign off from operators meant that he was unable to move it forward quickly enough to be completed last financial year. Despite initial hopes DfT was not able to let local authorities carry funding forward into this financial year. WA is talking to Red Funnel who has installed RTI supplied by Hogia. It is felt that this simpler system could be extended and rolled out at other transport locations. • SV currently have RTI so they know where their buses are but this information isn’t yet available to the public. A mobile phone app will also be developed and will be more reliable than information provided at bus stops. The opportunity exists to connect different systems together. • Next stop Information needs to be put on buses, and would be especially useful for tourists. CW – now in place in Southampton and elsewhere there is a need to secure funding and deliver this in partnership with the bus operator. • Although successful in many ways it has proved difficult to deliver such a large project with limited staff resources. LSTF2 has been developed in a different way and will be rolled out in partnership with a broad range of partners. Cross-Solent Travel • Whilst it was recognised that running empty ferries is not cost effective, YFUG are aware that many locals rely on good and reliable cross Solent links to get to and from the Island and daytime ferries are essential for these journeys. YFUG feel that the operator concentrates more on holiday trade. • Hovertravel has invested in new craft and buildings. Red Funnel is working in partnership with SCC and IWC to improve connections between Southampton and East Cowes. Funding achieved would be used to improve highways and public realm on both sides. Private sector funding would be used to improve ferries and marshalling facilities and terminal buildings. • Commuting with a bike has always been problematic for people using the Red Jet service but this will change soon as they are installing cycle racks on the craft. CW said this is being funded using LSTF money administered by Community Action. MK said there aren’t enough bike racks at Red Jet terminal at Cowes and there was a need to look at the current provision at the Park and Ride site. 2 • Val Lawson offered to do a presentation on the impact of transport on the environment at the next meeting of the Users Group on 16 September. Action DR to invite JM to attend. 3 Items from Chamber Strategic Infrastructure Group (SIG) • MK suggested inviting a representative from each of the ferry operators to future meetings of the QTP Executive Board. SP expressed some concerns that the discussions at the QTP Exec Board will then duplicate the work of the SIG. • A founding member of the QTP, MB explained that partnership was originally formed to allow structured debate and discussion between Council officers, Members operators and users and was keen to ensure that the QTP continue to operate as an independent group. • SP former QTP Chair, reminded the group that the QTP was restructured so as to tray and involve the main Cross Solent Transport operators who had for some time not attended meetings. Since the revision the QTP now operates with Users Group (UG) meetings and Exec Board (EB). Issues raised by the UG are now referred up to the EB and onto the SIG which at that time was being attended by Hovertravel, SWT / Island Line and Southern Vectis. It was noted that Red Funnel now attends and the meetings have been a useful forum to discuss key local and strategic transport issues. • MK recognised that the QTP board needed a representative from the Solent operators and suggested contacting Sean Millward to ask him to attend future meetings. DR has invited him in the past but he wasn’t able to attend. Further efforts will be made to attract a representative from Wightlink. • Tim Shoveller and Andy Naylor (SWT) are both invited to SIG, Phil Dominey has attended to represent SWT and Island Line and it was recognised that the list of invitees needs to be revised to invite the most appropriate people - who probably would attend. • MB said that in the past there were partnerships between IWC and businesses but he felt that this isn’t the case now. JM responded saying that the Chamber and IWC have a very good working relationship – probably better than ever before • DR important to maintain an independent QTP. SP asked MK where he would be most happy to be. MK said that this meeting is very useful as is SIG. Both meetings are scheduled close together so members end up talking about the same matters. QTP Executive Board is on a four monthly cycle starting in January and CIG meets on a four monthly cycle starting in February. If this is put back to March, that would alleviate the problem. The next meeting of SIG should be put back from September to October. MK suggested holding the Operators Group first to be followed by the QTP Executive Board. • It was agreed that that it was essential to ensure that all operators are engaged in discussions and that the groups work well together. CW felt if the was an overlap, then it would be possible to rethink how they operate and relate to one another and if required the role of the Executive Board could be just oversee the other groups and meet less frequently 3 • DR suggested having the QTP Users Group on 16 September, followed by a SIG then QTP EB on 14 October. For 2015, he suggested January and every 4 months for Users Group, February and every 4 months for Operators Group then March and every 4 months for Executive Board. Look at renaming the SIG with the agreement of the Chamber. 4 Membership – update • None. 5 Updates Island Roads • Tony Toynton, PFI Contract Manager, was invited to this meeting but was unable to attend but he will be invited to future meetings. JM suggested inviting someone from Island Roads as well, possibly Paul Herbert. • It was noted that the PFI contract specified the requirement to set up apprenticeship scheme and to use local companies where possible but it was felt that most of the surfacing work is being undertaken by Eurovia, a mainland company.

  • 1 a New Age of Steam?
    A new age of steam? The Tua Valley Line, Portugal - Experience and Examples from the Technological Heritage Operations and Preserved Railways of Britain. Dr Dominic Fontana Department of Geography, University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom [email protected] The railways of Portugal are well known to a global community of steam enthusiasts, many of whom used to visit the country specifically to experience and photograph the last days of steam traction until as late as the 1980s. The narrow gauge lines north of the Douro River, and the Tua Valley line in particular, were considered as very special railways. Their outstanding combination of narrow gauge steam traction, relatively long runs of track and extraordinarily beautiful landscapes, made for a magical railway experience. In the 1980s steam was replaced with diesel traction and although there are now regular but infrequent steam hauled tourist trains on the Douro Valley line, there are currently very limited opportunities for people to recapture this experience. Portugal has several railway museums including the excellent National Railway Museum in Entroncamento, but these present static displays rather than “live” steam and many railway enthusiasts consider this to be a poor substitute for the “real” thing where steam locomotives are operating in steam, within a fully-fledged railway environment. 0189 2-8-4T Henschel 1925 Mallet locomotive at Regua. 1 Portugal possesses over 100 redundant steam locomotives (Bailey, 2013) dispersed in yards around its national railway network, some of them remain potentially usable and many are certainly restorable to full operating condition. Portugal also possesses track and routes, which have been recently closed to passenger and freight traffic.

  • Net Fishing Around Piers Code of Practice Poster
    NET FISHING AROUND PIERS CODE OF PRACTICE Southern IFCA has introduced a new Code of Practice (CoP) for net fishing around piers. The Code prevents the use of fishing nets, except landing and drop nets, from within 200m of nine piers in the Southern IFC District. The piers affected are: • Sandown Pier, Sandown, Isle of Wight; • Ryde Pier Head, Ryde, Isle of Wight; • South Parade Pier, Portsmouth, Hampshire; • Yarmouth Pier, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight; • Boscombe Pier, Bournemouth, Dorset; • Bournemouth Pier, Bournemouth, Dorset; • Swanage Pier, Swanage, Dorset; • Weymouth Stone Pier, Weymouth, Dorset; and • Weymouth Pleasure Pier, Weymouth, Dorset. Visit the ‘All Regulations’ page on the Southern IFCA website www.southern-ifca.gov.uk to view the Code and maps of closure areas. Recreational sea angling is a popular activity in the Southern IFC District and the pier locations in the Code provide important access for participants. These measures aim to balance the different needs of people fishing in the Southern IFC District, in line with the Authority’s duties under the Marine and Coastal Access Act, 2009. The Code was developed as a first alternative to a byelaw, in consultation with sector representatives from the Recreational Angling Sector Group (RASG) and the South Coast Fisherman’s Council (SCFC). This Code of Practice will be reviewed no later than 31st December 2022. Should the code prove ineffective, Southern IFCA will consider the introduction of regulatory measures. If you would like to report information relating to the possible non-compliance of this code to the Authority you can complete the form on our website: www.southern-ifca.gov.uk/contact-us, or call 01202 721373.

From 5 to 28 August inclusive, major engineering works will be taking place at London Waterloo. This is to allow work to start to extend platforms for longer trains and provide more space for more passengers. Throughout this time, fewer trains will be running across the South West Trains network. Some stations will see very significant reductions in the frequency of their train services and a small number will be closed for some or all of this time. Stations in or around London, such as London Waterloo, Clapham Junction, Vauxhall and Wimbledon are expected to be exceptionally busy during this time. We strongly advise passengers to avoid travelling during the busiest morning and evening periods if possible. Woking is expected to be extremely busy and you are advised not to change on to fast services here. Across the network, we urge passengers to leave plenty of time for their journey, plan ahead and understand the impact these temporary changes will have. Detailed travel advice, including ticket acceptance options, is available at southwesttrains.co.uk/wswupgrade August Bank Holiday Friday 25 August to Monday 28 August 2017 On Friday 25 August to Monday 28 August 2017, there will be additional works at London Waterloo.
