Newcastleton YBM Report Sept 2019 1 Newcastleton Passenger Survey Report Data collection Methods 2% 46% YBM On bus 52% Over the phone Passenger surveys were carried out Monday to Saturday during w/c 26/08/19 and a subsequent Your Bus Matters event was held on the 03/09/19 in order to capture feedback from as many passengers as possible. In total, we spoke with 67 passengers. The vast majority of those during the YBM held in the village. This survey work was carried out in partnership with Scottish Borders Council to explore bus patronage in the rural community of Newcastleton in the Scottish Borders, a few miles from the border with England, on the Liddel Water. Newcastleton is 10 miles east of Langholm, 17 miles south of Hawick, 24 miles north of Carlisle and 74 miles south of Edinburgh. The village has no rail access and depends largely on supported local bus services operated by an operator called Telford’s Coaches Ltd which is also based in Newcastleton. Bus Users UK Ltd.

This highlights how crucial rural bus services are for these small communities in Scotland, which tend to have an older population. Without bus services such as these, people not would be able to live independently and for younger people the desire to either own a car or even move away from these smaller communities is further exacerbated. Summary: The passengers that we spoke to are very concerned about the long-term viability of the bus services which serve their village. Many did not drive or had access to a car, so the bus was their only mode of travel. Also, many cited the social benefits of the bus service, in that, when they used them, they spoke with other passengers from the village and the drivers also knew them. This social interaction was a key benefit, as a lot of the elderly lived on their own and may not interact with a great deal of people on a weekly basis other than when they used the bus. Furthermore, by having a concession card, those on low incomes who used the bus to access chiropody services for example would not be able to afford to do this had they not had a concession card. After school bus services were a key factor for many of the younger passengers, because if they had clubs or any after school activities, they required a parent or other family member to collect them due to no bus services.

[email protected] The Town NEWCASTLETON The village of Newcastleton lies just a few miles north of the Border with England, and was built in 1793 as a "model" weaving community, the original Castleton being a few miles further up the Liddel Water. Newcastleton today is a picturesque rural village with neatly aligned streets and squares offering visitors and residents alike a sense of community, with day-to-day shopping, primary schooling, leisure and recreational facilities available. More comprehensive facilities are available in either Hawick, Langholm or Carlisle. Secondary schooling is available in either Hawick or Langholm. HAWICK Known for many years as The Queen of the Borders, and situated at the confluence of the Rivers Slitrig and Teviot, Hawick is the largest of the Border towns. Frequent winners of national floral awards, and famous world-wide for its quality knitwear, Hawick is part of The Cashmere Trail and is the major centre for the industry in the Borders.

  • Newcastleton
    SETTLEMENT PROFILE NEWCASTLETON This profile should be read in conjunction with the relevant settlement map. DESCRIPTION Newcastleton is located in the upland valley of Liddesdale, on the north bank of the Liddel Water river. It is situated on the B6357, mid-way between Carlisle and Jedburgh, and lies about 21 miles due south of Hawick. The population is 784 (2001 Census). Newcastleton is outside the Central Borders Strategic Development Area as defined in the SESplan. PLACE MAKING CONSIDERATIONS Newcastleton is relatively distant from the other settlements in the Scottish Borders and has links with England, particularly Carlisle. Its relative remoteness means that the community is concerned about its relationship to the wider regional land use and development strategies and this is a factor which must be carefully considered in its future planning. The Council wishes to see the extension of the Borders Railway southwards from Galashiels to Carlisle. The indicative line is protected in the Local Development Plan and follows the line of the disused railway along the western edge of Newcastleton. Safeguarding of the route needs to be taken into account when development is proposed in the vicinity. The unique character of Newcastleton is established by its formal street layout with a central square and two secondary squares. It is considered to be the best example of a late 18th century planned village in the Borders and the majority of the settlement is designated as a Conservation Area. Newcastleton has a distinct grid iron layout and displays distinct building styles and architectural details. The designs for any new development should seek to respect the character of individual buildings and the wider Conservation Area.
