BROADNOOK GARDEN SUBURB – NORTH OF BIRSTALL
Technical Note 8
Public Transport Strategy
1.0 Introduction
General
1.01 This Technical Note (TN8) has been prepared by Lawrence Walker Limited (LWL) in response to a request by Leicester County Council (LCC) with respect to the Broadnook Garden Suburb, to the north of Birstall. The request relates to a requirement to update the Public Transport (PT) section of theTravel Plan (TP) dated April 2016 due to the age of the document; the availability of a further information and the subsequent evolution of the development Masterplan.
1.02 Technical Note TN8 relates only to physical PT provisionsassociated with the scheme and does not deal with “soft” measures such as introductory bus passes.
Purpose of Report
1.03 The purpose of the report is to provide supporting data for LCC to enable them to evaluate and approve the Public Transport proposals at Broadnook.
1.04 In so doing, the report is structured as follows:-
i) A brief appraisal of the existing situation regarding bus services is provided;
ii) A summary of the Public Transport proposal is described, including on-site stopping points and associated walking distances;
iii) An assessment of the economic viability of the proposal is outlined and confirmation that the existing bus operators are supportive of the proposals is provided,
iv) An assessment of the like impacts of the proposed bus priority measures at the A6/A46 Birstall Interchange is then made, and;
v) A summary of the report findings is presented.
Report Conclusions
1.05 The report concludes that:-
i) The proposed Public Transport measures are confirmed as being deliverable and affordable and if implemented, would provide an exemplar non-car transport offer at Broadnook, and;
ii) The proposed bus priority measures will not adversely impact upon the A6/A46 Birstall Interchange;

2.0 Existing Provision
Background
2.01 The Broadnook site lies adjacent to the pre-eminent transport choice corridor in Leicestershire. The Leicester-Loughborough Corridor (and its extension northwards to East Midlands Airport, Coalville and Derby) joins the County’s two major settlements and is served by high quality and high frequency bus services. The site is also close to the Birstall Park & Ride and existing Services 22A & 22B which currently terminate in north Birstall and to the south of the A46.
2.02 Figure 3 and Table 1 below show the existing services which pass alongside the site on the A6. Reference should also be made to Figure 2 of the DAS that appears on page 75 of the document and also Appendix E of this TN8.
Table 1: Local Bus Services
Monday to Saturday Sunday Service and Operator Frequency Frequency
Key Destinations Daytime Evening Daytime Kinchbus Service 2 30 minutes 60 minutes 60 minutes Leicester via Birstall, Cossington, Sileby Barrow upon Soar, Quorn and Loughborough Arriva Service 126/127 10 – 15 30 minutes 30 minutes Midlands Leicester minutes Loughborough Shepshed & Coalville via Rothley, Mt’Sorrel and Quorn Kinchbus Skylink 30 minutes 60 minutes 30 minutes Leicester Loughborough EM Airport Paul S Service X27E Twice - - Winson Leicester Birstall Loughborough
2.03 Clearly there is excellent potential for bus service provision to serve Broadnook. The existing services however require alteration as part of the development proposals.
2.04 To this end and as explained later in this TN8 Report, it is proposed to divert one service – the Arriva 126/127 and to extend another – the Centrebus 22A/22B service (which has the added advantage of providing a service to the residents of Wanlip) as the basis of high quality bus services to Broadnook.

Masterplanning at Broadnook
2.05 The layout and street hierarchy for the Broadnook Garden Suburb has been considered and determined mindful of the provision of appropriate bus services a shown on the Movement Parameter Plan – Ref DE096-002F at Appendix A.
2.06 The Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation’s (CIHT) document “Planning for Public Transport in Development” states that, in general terms:-
“… new developments should be located so that public transport trips involve a walking distance of less than 400m from the nearest bus stop”
a principle which is taken up in locally based guidance such as the 6C’s Design Guide. The CIHT document points out too that the recommended 400mest t is to be “treated as guidance” and that it is;
“… more important to provide services that are easy for passengers to understand and attractive to use than to achieve slavish adherence to some arbitrary criteria for walking distance”
2.08 Manual for Streets (2007) describes a walkable neighbourhood as one that is typically characterised by having a range of facilities withinten minutes walking distance (up to about 800 metres) so that residents can comfortably access them on foot. In promoting sustainable transport theNational Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) at Paragraph 38 says that key facilities such y as primar schools and local shops should be located within walkingce distan of most properties. The Broadnook proposal achieves these objectivess discussed a later in this TN8 Report.

3.0 Site Access Strategy
Bus Service & Facilities: Proposed Improvements
3.01 The nearest bus stops are located on the A6 Loughborough Road, adjacent to Birstall Meadow Road by Birstall Fire Station, approximately 0.5 miles from the development site. These stops are served mainly by the Kinchbus 2 Service between Leicester and Loughborough and Arriva Midlands 126/127 Service between Leicester and Coalville and whilst both are useful, neither would be easily accessible from the development due to their distance from the greater part of the Broadnook site (Appendix E).
3.02 As a result, the proposals involve the diversion and extension of two of the existing routes. This strategy is shown on Figure 3 (as well as on the Movement and Parameters Plan) and has been designed to cater for at least 5% of employee and residential peak hour movements to and from Broadnook in accordance with Policy CS20 of the Chanwood Local Plan Core Strategy. It states that “Bus service enhancements connecting the community with local employment opportunities and Birstall, Leicester City and Loughborough…” should be provided as part of the development.
3.03 In order to meet this objective, two new or diverted bus routes will be provided as noted below. They will be augmented by improved cycling and walking connections to the Birstall Park & Ride, where Service 303 is available on a frequent basis to and from the City Centre. Clearly easy car access to the latter is also possible.
3.04 For reference, the proposed two new or diverted services will comprise:-
Diversion of the existing Route 126/127 through the site in two phases, and; Creation of a new “Broadnook Shuttle” based around an extension of the Route 22A/22B service.
Route 126/127
3.05 Two-phase diversion of the existing Route 126/127 Service (one of the best current services in Leicestershire, being a 10-15 minute service on the key Leicester – Loughborough – Coalville corridor) is supported in principle by the current operator and would form the backbone of PT services for the site. Any loss in headway attributable to either diversion would be more than off-set by the proposed prioritization at the A46/A6 Birstall Interchange and improved access to and from Loughborough Road. Both aspects are discussed later in this TN8 Report.
3.06 It is intended that the Phase 1 diversion of the Route 126/127 Service will be a “day-one” provision and it will operate once the pre-requisite Phase 1 infrastructure has been delivered. Diversion on a linear basis does not involve any additional cost to the operator (since any increases in journey times is fully mitigated by the Bus Gate) and as such, this service does not impact upon the viability of the service itself. Early diversion is not dependant therefore upon a specific number of dwellings being occupied.
C:\LAWRENCE WALKER LIMITED\LWL Projects\Miscellaneous\Broadnook (22)\Reports\TN8\REPORT - TN8 - May 2017.doc

3.07 Both proposed diversion routes for the 126/127 Service are shown in outline at Appendix A, together with the associated Bus Stops. Initially the Phase 1 Route would be via the Link Road serving the early housing and employment areas, whilst Phase 2 would loop around the Brodnook Centre. The Link Roads required to serve Phase 1 would be provided early and fully surfaced in accordance with the Phasing & Traffic Management Report (PTM). Since these roads are also required to serve the Phase 1 development itself and within thesame timescale, it follows that no significant parts of the development could actin fever be occupied without access to Public Transport.
3.08 Specifically, Para 3.03 of the PTM refers and provides over-archingan fall-back in terms of delivery, stating that:-
Para 3.03 Should the Contract 2 be delayed, then Phase 6 would need to be provided as part of Contract 1 to allow the Route 126/127 Bus Service to be diverted through the site.
3.09 Thus by whatever means, the Link Roads serving the whole of the Route 126/127 Phase 1 diversion will be delivered at the same time as the Phase 1 Site Access and in advance of dwellings being occupied in any significant numbers. These Link Roads would also be available for Adoption prior to the Phase 1 Route 126/127 Services being diverted along them. Phase 1 of the Development sits alongside the Phase 1 Route and encompasses residential areas and much of the employment zone.
Route 22A/22B
3.10 The new “Broadnook Shuttle” will be a bespoke additional local service and formal discussions have taken place with the Centrebus (the operators of the existing Route 22A/22B Services) with a view to extending them into the site to form the basis of such a provision. It will be introduced over an initial route in the early stages of the scheme (once 200 dwellings have been occupied) and then rolled- out to the west as the development progresses.
3.11 The proposed route(s) of the Route 22A/22B extension are shown at Appendix A, together with the associated Bus Stops. The Link Roads required to serve each stage will be provided in advance of that stage being occupied and will be surfaced up to at least Base Course level with flush Ironwork. Route 22A/22B Services will however be required to run on un-adopted roads for an initial period and this forms part of the proposed agreement with Centrebus as noted below and at Appendix B.
Rail Services
3.12 The nearest Railway Station to the site that will ultimately be served by either of the two bus services noted above is Leicester, on the Midland Mainline (MML) line from Nottingham to London. It is served by Route 22A/22B and is also within 20 minutes easy cycle time (8km) of the development. The Station is served by a good service to and from Nottingham at least every 20 minutes at peak times, together with further direct trains to London and Birmingham. It is therefore both desirable and accessible from a commuting point of view via the new bus network.
3.13 The Broadnook site is also close to the privately run Great Central Railway (GCR), which in the future may bring forward commuter opportunities to Loughborough and Nottingham.

4.0 Economic Viability & Deliverability
Route 126/127
4.01 Diversion of the Route 126/127 Service on a linear basis allows the site to benefit from the most important and commercially successful bus route in the County. It does not involve any additional cost to the operator (since any increases in journey time is fully mitigated by the Bus Gate) and thus has no impact upon the viability of the development.
4.02 Arriva has confirmed its support for the two-phase diversion of Route 126/127 Services through the site and this confirmation is not dependent upon the Developer achieving any specific journey time saving (Appendix B). They are unequivocal about this and base their agreement solely on their own judgement that provided the Bus Gate from the A6/A46 Birstall Interchange remains an integral part of the scheme then they are happy that the journey time saving will be sufficient to off-set either extended route northbound. Both routes are much shorter southbound anyway, as currently there is no southbound access from Loughborough Road onto the A6. They are equally clear that they will not divert the Route 126/127 Service through the site via any form of looped access from the new A6 Junction.
Route 22A/22B
4.03 The proposal with respect to the local Route 22A/22BB Services operated by Centrebus is to extend them into the site after 200 residential units have been occupied. A suggested S106 provision, signed by Centrebus, is provided at Appendix B. LWL can confirm that Centrebus has not raised an issue with the prospect of extending the existing Route 22B into the site over un-adopted roads. Buses would never be expected to operate over roads completed to less than Base Course standard as noted above.
4.04 The extended services will require two extra buses at a cost of £300k per year in total to deliver the required half-hourly service, less revenue. LWL estimates that it would then need approximately 150 return trips per day to break-even, which would suggest in turn about 100 from Broadnook net of third-party travel. Since the service commences at 200 units (which would generate around 1,000 person- trips in total per day each-way) it would need about 10% bus patronage to break even on day one. This is unlikely and an initial subsidy is proposed.
4.05 Currently the Broadnook Travel Plan states that 5% is the mode-share target for Public Transport, which is slightly above the local average but in line with Core Strategy expectations for reducing car usage. Given two-way school traffic, it is not unreasonable to expect that 6% or even 7% from a standing start might be achieved, which would mean that the development would lose money for only a year or so until the number of occupied units rises to around 300. As a result, the subsidy is expected to be short-lived and a figure of £250k is included in the Viability Appraisal to cover any initial short-fall.

5.0 Proposed Bus Priority Measures
Outline Proposals
5.01 The proposals for creating bus priority into and out of the site centre upon three main provisions as can be seen at Figure 6. These comprise:-
Northbound priority at the A6/A46 Birstall Interchange on the A6; The provision of a Bus Gate to serve the site from the Interchange, and; The provision of a two-way connection to the Loughborough Road.
5.02 Whilst clearly the latter will have no detrimental impact along the A6, the other two have the potential to do so and particularly at the A6/A46 Birstall Interchange. Both provisions are therefore discussed in more detail below. Reference should also be made to Appendix C, where the current site access design (Rev D23) is provided.
Proposed Bus Gate Operation
5.03 It is proposed that the Bus Gate on the link between Broadnook and Junction 3 at the A6/A46 Birstall Interchange would be controlled automatically through transponders fitted to the Service 126/127 and extended Route 22B vehicles. These are cheap (in the order to £30) to purchase and would consequently be fitted to every vehicle expected to use the Bus Gate by the Operators, at the expense of the Developer. A number of transponders would be provided at the commencement of each service going live and this would allow any replacement vehicles to be equipped without delay. Such a provision and the maintenance thereof would be governed by the Section 106 Agreement.
5.04 In terms of operation, approaching vehicles not equipped with the correct transponder would not be detected by the pillars alongside the Gate and thus would not trigger an opening. Turning-heads are provided either side of the Gate shown on Plan 100 (Rev D4) to allow such vehicles to turn around and leave the site safely once they realise they cannot enter by this route. Induction loops built into the carriageway to the east of the Gate would then activate the signals at the Birstall Interchange to allow the offending vehicle to leave at the next convenient cycle of the traffic lights. The same feature would also allow buses to leave as part of their normal journey.
5.05 In the event of an emergency, the agreement with Leicestershire Police is that they would take control of the Gate if the situation demanded and this would be done through a key and key-pad override. This would raise the barrier and allow all vehicles to enter the site by this route and leave via the signals at the Birstall Interchange, having first driven over the induction loops. The signals would then switch to a three-phase, pre-determined, pattern to let traffic leave, much as they would if a bus or an errant vehicle approached in normal operation. No other intervention is required (other than temporary emergency signage which is normally carried by the Police in any event) and the barrier would be lowered by them once the emergency had passed. It should be noted that standard issue keys are carried routinely by all Emergency Service Vehicles and they open all standard locks. The same is true of key-pad identities. A copy of the agreement with the Emergency Services is provided at Appendix D and confirms their acceptance of the Emergency Access provisions at Boradnook.
C:\LAWRENCE WALKER LIMITED\LWL Projects\Miscellaneous\Broadnook (22)\Reports\TN8\REPORT - TN8 - May 2017.doc
- 7 -
5.06 If considered desirable, permanent Variable Message Signs (VMS) signage can be provided as part of the works to assist the Police shoulde thneeds be. It would be activated automatically to direct traffic to use the bus route contemporaneously with any key-pad activation of the barrier override.
5.07 All maintenance will initially be provided by the Developer and ultimately by the Broadnook Management Company (BGST), with control being exercised through the provisions of the Section 106 Agreement. It is usual in these agreements to include a requirement for a detailed specification to be agreed with the Highways Authorities prior to construction and this would cover such issues as call-outs and what happens in the event of a failure of the Gate. Failure in the “Down” position would require an immediate response and this would be covered by a call-out Contractor at the expense of the Developer. He would be notified by an alarm, which would be confirmed by CCTV cameras as noted below.
5.08 A failure in the “Up” position is less of an issue but would be dealt with in the same way, with a slightly longer response period being prevalent. Routine maintenance would be covered by the same Contractor.
5.09 The bus gate would be monitored by twin CCTV cameras, which are easy and economic to install. Each will have its own 4G URL (a Uniform Resource Locator - the unit’s unique Web address) such that anyone with the correct password can access either through a standard Web Browser (such as Google) on any Internet device. This system can be demonstrated if LCC requires and is currently in operation at Blythe Valley Business Park on the M42 at Solihull and Prologis Park on the site of the former Coventry Colliery. The maintaining Contractor would then be required to monitor the Gate using this system on both a regular basis and in the event of any kind of a problem.
Proposed Alterations at the A6/A46 Birstall Interchange
5.10 Two specific and separate Bus Priority measures have been included in the TRANSYT 15 analysis for the A6/A46 Birstall Interchange. These comprise:-
The addition of a third phase at the signals controlling the E/B Exit Slip from the A46 and Northbound Rotary to allow buses (and errant vehicles as noted above) to exit the site. This has been compensated for in terms of loss of capacity at the junction by the provision of a fourth exit lane on the slip-road, which enables green time to be diverted to the Bus Gate without affecting queue lengths. The third phase has been designed to be called fifteen times an hour, which is roughly every fourth cycle of the lights;
The creation of a new “Bus Only” lane on the Northbound A6 approach to the Interchange that would run on a “pre-phase” allowing one bus per 60 second cycle of the lights to avoid any queuing. As with the Bus Gate, this has been compensated for by the provision of an additional lane (this time on the Westbound Rotary) to allow green time to be diverted to the Bus Lane without affecting queuing.
Traffic Impacts – The Bus Gate
5.11 As noted above, the provision of the Bus Gate is intended to be fully compensated for by the creation of an additional Lane on the A46 E/B Exit Slip. Signal phasing would then be as follows, with the Bus Gate operating at Phase 51C; the Slip Road at Phase 51A and the Rotary at Phase 51B:-
C:\LAWRENCE WALKER LIMITED\LWL Projects\Miscellaneous\Broadnook (22)\Reports\TN8\REPORT - TN8 - May 2017.doc
- 8 -
5.12 The E/B Exit Slip signals have been shown to operate well within capacity - even at a notional 2031 “Test Year” and for enhanced development traffic as agreed with Highways England and described in the TA at Sections 6.28 & 6.29. Queuing is predicted to be less than 10 vehicles and the level of operation less than 70% of capacity. The proposed Bus Gate can thus be provided without detriment to other road users.
5.13 The design has been fully endorsed by Highways England and has successfully passed a Stage 1 Road Safety Audit.
Traffic Impacts – A6 Northbound Approach
5.14 As with the Bus Gate, the provision of the A6 Northbound Bus Lane & Priority is to be compensated for by the creation of an additional W/B Lane on the Southern Rotary. Signal phasing would then be as follows, with the Bus Lane operating at Phase 54X; the Left Filter at Phase 54A; the A6 through movements at Phases 54B & 54C; the Service Area at Phase 54D and the Rotary at Phase 54E:-
5.15 The A6 N/B A6 approach at the signals has been shown to operate well within capacity - even at a notional 2031 “Test Year” and for enhanced development traffic as agreed with Highways England and described in the TA at Sections 6.28 & 6.29. Queuing is predicted to be less than 10 vehicles and the level of operation 75% of capacity. The proposed A6 Northbound Bus Lane & Priority can thus be provided without detriment to other road users.
5.16 The design has again been fully endorsed by Highways England and has also successfully passed a Stage 1 Road Safety Audit.

From: "Toby France"
Dear Mr Johnstone,
Thank you for taking the time to meet me today to discuss the Public Transport Strategy for the development site at North Birstall.
Having reviewed the site layout plans I can confirm that Arriva Midlands & Shires agree in principal to divert service 127 (126 in the evenings) into the development by way of the new bus-only access from the A6/A46 junction and the new junction to be constructed at the north of the site. This will offer a service towards Leicester City Centre in one direction and Loughborough in the other up to every 12 minutes, making it highly desirable to residents of the development and encouraging sustainable modal shift; the vehicles used on this service provide a high level of amenity with e-leather seating, USB charging, and free Wi-Fi.
The diversion can be achieved with a negligible time penalty as a result of the proposed bus priority measures approaching the A46 junction from Birstall and the bus-only road from this junction; should these not be realised then I can confirm we would not be willing to divert the service. The additional time taken to enter the development through the new northern access, circumnavigate the site then double-back on ourselves to exit via the same junction would require additional resource (both vehicle and driver) and result in an unacceptable loss of existing patronage.
If a standalone service were to be provided over the top of the existing bus network to connect the development with Leicester and serve the site via the northern access junction in both directions consideration would have to be given to methods of avoiding abstraction from the existing commercial services provided by multiple operators along Leicester Road to prevent the Local Authority from being in breach of Section 92(1) of the Transport Act 1985 (as amended). To provide such a service on a 30 minute daytime frequency would cost upwards of £300,000 per annum and is highly unlikely to ever generate enough revenue to become commercially viable.
If you require any additional information in relation to this development please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards

Broadnook Gardens Suburb Access Strategy Statement Centrebus Limited has held lengthy discussions with Lawrence Walker Limited regarding the Broadnook Gardens Suburb Travel Plan (including the Access Strategy) and supports the introduction of improved traffic signalling at the Birstall Roundabout along with the construction of the Bus Gate facility for local bus services and Emergency Vehicles to access and exit the new development. The introduction of improved traffic signalling at Birstall Roundabout will improve the reliability of local bus services and ease congestion at this busy Interchange. We welcome the proposal to introduce a Bus Gate linking the Birstall Interchange with the new development, making it easier for buses to serve the Residential and Business Park areas of Broadnook Garden Suburb. The introduction of a Bus Gate will improve the management of traffic flows helping buses to travel on a more direct route (bringing significant journey time and distance savings whilst making bus travel more attractive to residents of the new Housing development and employees at the Business Park) which, along with multi-journey saver tickets available from bus operators, will make travelling by bus a viable alternative to using the car.

From: "Keith Myatt"
Hi Steve,
I'm very well thanks, I hope you are too?
I can confirm that should the Bus Gate and Approach Road described in my previous response not be Adopted, Centrebus would continue to be happy to extend route 22A/22B through to the site.
If, during the life of the development roads over which the Route 22A/22B would ideally pass may not have been completed and assuming that they are surfaced up to at least Base Course level and all ironwork is left flush, we would be happy with this.
Similar situations have occurred in the new Hamilton development in Leicester prior to roads being fully completed.
