We have a Board Member for Wales appointed by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport. 1.2 We welcome the opportunity to provide evidence from our passenger research, to aid the Committee’s scrutiny. 2 What passengers want from the new rail service 2.1 During the specification and procurement programme, we have been able to work closely with Welsh Government, Transport for Wales and the bidders. We have provided input across a range of passenger insight, including specifically-commissioned research. 2.2 Our analysis draws from the National Rail Passenger Survey1 (NRPS), drivers of passenger satisfaction and dissatisfaction and passenger priorities for improvement2, alongside our report on what passengers want from the future Wales and Borders rail service3. Together these highlight a number of factors that should be top level priorities to be addressed. The primary requirements should be for an absolute focus on the fundamentals to deliver reliability on a daily basis. 2.3 Passengers tell us that their top priorities for the new Wales and Borders railway are getting a seat on reliable services that provide good value for money.

    National Assembly for Wales Enterprise And

    National Assembly for Wales Enterprise and Business Committee Inquiry into the future of the Wales and Borders Rail Evidence from Rob Phillips – WBF 35 The future of the Wales and Borders Rail Franchise Thank you for the opportunity to make comments on the shape of the new Wales & Borders train operator’s franchise. I am as a regular rail user and I am replying in a personal capacity. The current franchise The main lessons to draw from the current franchise is that the prediction for no growth in passenger numbers has left an unreasonable responsibility for investment in capacity improvements with the Welsh Government, while the train operator retains the revenue from the increased passenger loadings. The current operator has done well out of the set-up but it is not fair for the taxpayer and passenger. Priorities for the future franchise Any future franchise should build in an expected growth in passenger numbers, and require the train operator to cater for those increases. The operator should also be making a contribution to infrastructure improvements where they will bring increased revenue or reduce costs. For example, where platforms are extended to allow for longer trains to cope with increasing demand, the train operator as well as Network Rail and the Welsh Government should contribute towards the cost. 1 Where growth on services reaches certain levels, the operator should be responsible for providing additional carriages. The Aberystwyth service especially suffers from overcrowding because the specification for 2 carriage trains did not take growth into account. There should be a mechanism in the franchise to allow for new or enhanced services without the cost falling on the Welsh Government.

The garden around the Abbey Pulpit was thus exposed to the rear, and the dilapidated nature of its boundary fence left it vulnerable. In 1994 the pulpit was damaged by vandals, and in response Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council, the site owners, decided to renew the boundary wall and fence around the pulpit enclosure and tidy the garden within. The Abbey Pulpit lies within the scheduled area of Shrewsbury Abbey (Scheduled Monument No.: Shropshire 359). Scheduled monument consent for these works was granted in April 1995, with the provision that they should be accompanied by an agreed programme of archaeological investigation. In the light of a number of recent investigations in the immediate vicinity (Carver, 1975 and 1985; Hannaford, 1991; Watson, 1992), archaeological deposits were known to exist at a depth of 0.7m below ground level on the Abbey Foregate street frontage, extending to a depth of at least 1.8m at the rear of the pulpit enclosure.
