In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

  • Fosbr Newsletter Number 98 October 2018
    FoSBR Newsletter Number 104 November 2020 (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways) Another newsletter published during a lockdown... As in the earlier part of this year, the government is advising that people should now stay at home and only make essential journeys, avoiding public transport. During this lockdown, Great Western services have remained unchanged and not reduced - this is welcome. We hope that, as things ease and people start to venture out again, journeys should be relatively low risk - because social distancing remains easy on trains that continue to have low passenger numbers. However, as suspected, the Treasury is now getting anxious about the cost of running largely empty trains and is demanding cuts to services. At the beginning of November, trains only carried 31% of the passengers as at the same time last year and there is concern now that possibly one-fifth of commuters will stay away from rail travel indefinitely. The Times (on 10 November) says "The Department of Transport has told [train] companies to submit plans to make railways more 'financially sustainable' while still providing enough capacity for Covid-safe travel. One rail industry source said that service levels could be reduced to about 80 or 85 percent of pre-pandemic levels". Despite this, we hope that the Government continues to invest in and champion the railway. In the longer term our rail services will need all the support they can get to ensure they don't just survive (in a world that could easily be one of limited funds) but grow - in order to tackle the climate emergency.

It will form the foundation for the County’s Rail Strategy as part of the wider Local Transport Plan. Gloucestershire stands in a strategic location between the growing City Regions of Bristol, Cardiff and the West Midlands and its rail links enable commuting and commercial links to Oxford, Reading and London. This location and the high quality of life available in its towns, villages and rural areas will enable significant housing and employment growth which is reflected in the local plans of the six district, city and borough councils. Gloucestershire’s pivotal position on the rail network is a key asset in delivering these plans in an effective, sustainable manner.

  • Road, Rail and Aviation in the Thames Valley by James Bond, Anne Dodd, Jill Hind and Trevor Rowley
    THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 Road, Rail and Aviation in the Thames Valley 1 | ©2019 Oxford Archaeology THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 Road, rail and aviation in the Thames Valley By James Bond, Anne Dodd, Jill Hind and Trevor Rowley FROM TRACKS TO TURNPIKES: ROADS IN THE MEDIEVAL AND POST- MEDIEVAL PERIOD Medieval roads in the Thames Valley by James Bond The road system of the middle ages was complex, with individual links derived from different periods serving a variety of functions and operating at varying levels of importance. Place-names and landmarks on Anglo-Saxon charter bounds provide evidence for an intricate network of roads and tracks before the Norman Conquest, and the variety of terms used reflects the existence of different types of thoroughfare. The road pattern was never static, but in a continual state of evolution. The priorities of routes have always been liable to change, reflecting the fluctuating economic fortunes of the places they served. Their courses were often altered by large-scale planned diversions during the middle ages, particularly into medieval new towns (the main road between Oxford and Aylesbury was diverted to pass through the new market-place at Thame in 1219) and around the margins of new parks.
