  • Review of Southeastern DPPP Letter
    Annette Egginton Head of Competition and Consumer Policy Directorate of Railway Markets & Economics Email: [email protected] 22 April 2016 Justin Ryan Accessibility and Inclusion Manager Southeastern Dear Justin Review of London and Southeastern Railway Limited (trading as Southeastern) Disabled People’s Protection Policy (Condition 5 of your Station Licence and GB Passenger Statement of National Regulatory Conditions) Thank you for providing updated versions of your Disabled People’s Protection Policy (DPPP) documents for review. A copy of your revised DPPP is attached to this letter, and will be published on our website along with a copy of this letter. I confirm that we have reviewed your DPPP against the 2009 Guidance “How to write your Disabled People’s Protection Policy: A guide for Train and Station Operators” (the Guidance) and can confirm that your revised DPPP meets the requirements of Condition 5 of your station licence and GB Passenger Statement of National Regulatory Conditions (SNRP). We welcome the following commitments, which we believe will have a positive impact for many passengers: Your requirement for passengers to give only 12 hours’ notice for assistance bookings when travelling on Southeastern services; The use of the ‘Recite Me’ app on your website, that gives better access to the information by including a screen reader as well as the ability to increase the font size and change the background colours to suit the users requirements; Your priority seat card initiative to allow disabled passengers to find seats on your services; Your offer of a refund for passengers if assistance booked with 12 hours’ notice is not provided; and The mystery shopping research you carry out to assess your assisted travel service.

  • Southeastern Penalty Fare Scheme
    Southeastern Penalty Fare Scheme DMC2685 Version 1 2009 Penalty Fare Scheme 2009 1 Introduction 1.1 We, Southeastern, give notice under rule 3.2 of the SRA’s Penalty Fares Rules 2002 that we want to change our penalty fares scheme with effect from 30 April 2009. This document describes our penalty fare scheme for the purposes of rule 3(2)(b). 1.2 Southeastern currently operates a penalty fares scheme because, each year, our passengers make over 130 million journeys and even if only a small percentage of these passengers travel without paying, Southeastern will lose a considerable amount of money. Reducing the number of people who travel without a ticket is not only in the interests of Southeastern, but also in the interests of most fare-paying passengers. Few of us want to subsidise people who avoid paying, and the loss of income due to people travelling without tickets reduces the money available to invest in a better rail service. 1.3 As part of our revenue protection strategy, we have invested in the installation of additional automatic ticket gates, but it is not cost effective to install ticket gates at every station. We have therefore focussed the use of gates at our stations where large numbers of customers travel, especially at the London terminals. Conductors carry out on board ticket checks on longer distance journeys but suburban services operate without a conductor. Also, where station stops are frequent or where the trains are often busy it is not always possible to check every passenger’s ticket between every station.

  • Saltwood Conservation Area Appraisal Part 2
    SALTWOOD CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL Problems and pressures 86 Notwithstanding the highest level of protection, maintenance requires unusually large amounts of time, expertise and resources. Vigilance may be required if a future owner’s resources are too limited. CHARACTER AREA 2 - RECTORY LANE AND THE GREEN Spatial analysis 87 This character area comprises the village core set around the historic green, and the roads which radiate from it. The small triangular green is bounded by two roads; it features two mature broad-leafed trees and the War Memorial. The green is surrounded by a loose arrangement of low rise houses and picturesque cottages. School Road looking south from The Green The Green from School Road looking north 88 To the south The Green is bounded by the main road between Sandling and Hythe, a busy traffic route. To the south of The Green the main road between Sandling and Hythe, a busy traffic route separates Old Saltwood Lane, an unmade road, and Cylinder Road from the northern area of the village. These roads have higher density terraced houses which date from the early C19. 89 The Castle Hotel overlooks The Green but is separated from it by the busy main road. The large garden provides a meeting point, a centre of local activity and green space. The junctions of Bartholomew Lane, Brockhill Road and School Lane intersect south and east of The Green. Village Hall from green Village Hall from Rectory Lane Conservation Architecture & Planning 14 SALTWOOD CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL 90 To the north of The Green, a quieter, rural road leads to Rectory Lane and Grange Road.
