    Issue 3 August 2016 CONTENTS 2 Introduction 2 Quick Quiz 3 Integrated Public Transport on the Stourbridge Line 7 Getting To The Railway Station By Bus 12 Finding Your Bus At A Railway Station 15 The Right Connections 18 Quick Quiz Answer 18 West Midlands Rail and West Midlands Combined Authority 19 Bus Services Bill 2016 PLATFORM 3 is published by: The Stourbridge Line User Group, 46 Sandringham Road, Wordsley, Stourbridge, West Midlands, DY8 5HL - 1 - www.stourbridgelineusergroup.info INTRODUCTION Better integration of public transport at railway stations is essential in the future if we are going to encourage rail travellers to get to and from their local railway station without using their car. It is true that Centro has built superb free car parks at many stations in the West Midlands but these are now reaching saturation point. The car park at Stourbridge Junction has been extended twice and now accommodates over 1,000 cars, but this car park’s success is measured by the fact that it reaches capacity at around 8 am every morning. The Stourbridge line is lucky that it has two stations with superb bus stations alongside - Cradley Heath and Stourbridge Town. However, interchange facilities could be better at most stations and are appalling at some. This special issue looks at the current situation regarding interchanging between bus and train at Stourbridge line stations. It considers how things could be improved by adopting ideas used in other areas through two articles, first published in the Newsletter supplement in 2014, but now updated. It then reports on a very productive meeting between SLUG and Centro and finishes by looking at recent announcements that offer encouragement that major improvements could take place in the near future.

It manifests itself in all aspects of the natural world; that of birds being no exception. Some of our residents are nesting earlier while many of our summer migrants are arriving earlier and staying longer, up to three weeks in some cases. It is not possible to show these relatively rapid changes using the average arrival and departure dates as they cover too long a period (over 70 years in some cases) so this year I have included the average dates over the previous eight years (not including the current year) – as used in New Birds of the West Midlands.
