  • Bus Rationalisation Appendix 1
    Technical note Project: Birmingham Bus Stop To: Matthew Till / Danny Gouveia Consolidation Subject: 8A / 8C Draft Report From: Andy Clark / Anna Little / Tim Colles Date: 15th June 2017 cc: Adrian Taylor 1. Introduction Atkins has been commissioned by National Express West Midlands to undertake a study investigating the scope for bus stops on several routes in Birmingham to be rationalised. This is in response to growing concern from National Express West Midlands and Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) regarding increasingly long and unreliable bus journeys in the West Midlands. National Express West Midlands is part of the West Midlands Bus Alliance, consisting of representatives from the region’s bus operators, the West Midlands Combined Authority, council highways and transportation departments, Local Enterprise Partnerships, the Safer Travel Partnership, councillors and Transport Focus. The Alliance Board Members are responsible for identifying what the region’s buses need to deliver and then putting policies and funding streams in place for this to be achieved. In March 2016, the board identified seven key actions which it will work together to deliver by 2020, as outlined in Figure 1. Figure 1. Key Targets for West Midlands Bus Alliance Ticketing Air Quality Open Data Identity Network Development Punctuality Safety and Security Plans The potential impacts on these key targets are considered later in this technical note, with specific focus on punctuality (aiming to reduce delay minutes). This technical note sets out the results from Atkins’ analysis of Routes 8A and 8C. The results of the assessments of other routes are outlined in subsequent technical notes. The route is circular, with 8A denoting buses traversing the route in the anti-clockwise direction and 8C denoting buses in the clockwise direction.
