  • Manse Farm Rail Station Study
    Harrogate District Sites and Policies DPD: Manse Farm Rail Station Study May 2013 Foreword The Manse Farm Rail Station study has been prepared following advice and guidance from Network Rail and provides the first step in the consideration of a potential new station at Manse Farm, Knaresborough. The study was commissioned jointly by Harrogate Borough Council and North Yorkshire County Council and prepared by Arup. This work has been undertaken over a period of several years and has involved detailed discussion with the rail industry during this time. The report represents a technical piece of work undertaken at a particular stage in the development of the Local Plan reflecting the requirements of the rail industry. References to the Sites and Policies DPD therefore refer to an earlier stage in the plan preparation process. Provision of a station to the east of Knaresborough has been a long term aim of the Council and a site is currently allocated in the Harrogate District Local Plan (2001) to the west of Manse Farm on an embankment and in a location with limited space to provide facilities such as car parking. Background work has therefore been undertaken for the Sites and Policies DPD to investigate the business case for providing a new rail station and car park as part of the Draft Allocation for a mixed use urban extension at Manse Farm, Knaresborough (K2b) further to the east. The Leeds‐ Harrogate –York Railway Line forms this site’s northern boundary. The line is recognised as a regionally significant transport link within the Leeds City Region and North Yorkshire, facilitating access to labour markets in Leeds, Harrogate and York as well as providing connectivity with regional and intercity services at York and Leeds.

As was pointed out by Isabella, we are virtually neighbours with the Nidderdale Greenway giving a direct link to the Castle and it is good to know more about the neighbours. What a lot of history the castle has seen. It has encouraged us to try more of your society’s talks. Thank you Derek and Sue Couldwell This was an email that we received after one of the three talks from October to December. Though it referred to just one of the talks, all three were of a very high standard and the variety of subject was excellent. It is always very satisfying to know that we have produced something of interest — so many thanks to Mr and Mrs Couldwell. In October we visited Nidderdale in the company of David Aldred through photographs and postcards, particularly around the dams above Pateley Bridge. The story of the Inglebys/Ingilbys of Ripley Castle was given to us in November by Sir Thomas, with both humour and depth. This was followed by Richard Willis in December, telling us the History of Canals and Aqueducts particularly those in Yorkshire. He illustrated this with many photographs and some wonderful stories. Isabella works hard to ensure a good and varied programme and I have enjoyed them all, even though the topics for some were not ones that I would have normally expected to be of interest to me.

Preface Preface The purpose of a Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) investigation is to improve railway safety by preventing future railway accidents or by mitigating their consequences. It is not the purpose of such an investigation to establish blame or liability. Accordingly, it is inappropriate that RAIB reports should be used to assign fault or blame, or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. The RAIB’s findings are based on its own evaluation of the evidence that was available at the time of the investigation and are intended to explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.
