NCR Proposal is to provide one lane for vehicular traffic and one lane "Healthy Highway" in each direction. Each approx. 3.8m wide comprising of a 2.3m WALLASEY 56 wide cycle lane separated from traffic by a 1.2m wide hatched mandatory road marking and wand/orca light segregation infrastructure. In terms of Key Workers, both Moreton and Bidston/Birkenhead have several care homes, doctors, health centres, chemists, sheltered accomodation, BIDSTON CYCLE LINK assisted living facilities, schools and a specialist college. With most "journeys" being short distance the proposal provides a viable alternative to those needing to get from A to B that either do not have access to car, are avoiding public transport as per government guidelines, or have always wanted to NCR walk/cycle this route but have never been able to do so. 56 In terms of local economy & employers, in the immediate vicinity of the link at the Moreton end is an ALDI supermarket, Tesco Express, and a hub of JCT 1 shops/supermarkets found at Moreton Cross. Beyond Moreton directly lies Leasowe, Meols, Hoylake, West Kirby, Upton and Arrowe Park. At the RETAIL Bidston end lies a Tesco Superstore, Jct 1 Retail Park (containing ALDI, M&S, B&Q, Halfords, Home Bargains etc) and the long hub of shops found BIDSTON TRAIN STATION PARK along Bidston and Birkenhead North. Beyond Bidston lies Birkenhead North and Birkenhead Town Centre.

    Head of Customer Services Arriva Trains Wales April 2011 To the Head of Customer Services Re: Arriva Trains Wales Summer Timetable Changes Adversely Affecting Commuters I write to you on behalf of fellow passengers in protest of the timetable changes being made to the service which starts at Carmarthen at 05:50 destined for Manchester Piccadilly. Like many other customers, I commute to Cardiff on this service daily. I board at Llanelli at 06:18 but this petition speaks for customers boarding at all stations between Carmarthen and Cardiff. Currently, the service arrives at Cardiff at 07:40, giving those who start work by 08:00 enough time to travel by foot or by bus to their place of work in Cardiff. The proposed changes see this service arriving at Cardiff at 08:01, rendering the service useless to almost all passengers who currently board the train West of Cardiff. For those who have the option, Arriva Trains Wales will lose customers to the First Great Western Service leaving Swansea at 06:58, however this service is not available to those boarding West of Swansea or at Pyle or Llanharan. However, since the First Great Western Service arrives at Cardiff 12 minutes later than current Arriva Trains Wales service, this solution may not be viable even for those who have the option of using it. There is further outrage amongst customers regarding the following issues: Trains stopping less frequently at stations in West Wales on some services The 16:04 train from Cardiff to Milford Haven (used on the way home by many commuters who catch the service arriving at Cardiff at 07:40) will be leaving at 15:54 after the timetable changes.
