A New Wales Transport Strategy Consultation Response
Llwybr Newydd – a new Wales transport strategy Consultation response Introduction Transport Focus is the independent consumer watchdog promoting the interests of rail passengers throughout Great Britain; bus, coach and tram passengers across England, outside London; and users of the Strategic Road Network in England. We have a Board Member for Wales appointed by the Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales. Transport Focus welcomes this consultation. Our response is informed both by our extensive evidence base and insight gathered through the engagement of our work in Wales. Consultation questions Do you agree with our long-term vision? The vision applies across all of Wales and is equally relevant and inclusive to both people and place, needing to recognise the differences between cities, towns and rural areas. We agree that the transport system needs to be accessible, addressing barriers and sustainable. However we would want to see the transport system defining a joined-up network enabling door-to-door journeys. Our work with bus passengers1 shows that services going to more places is their second highest priority and the top priority for non- users and both sets agree that a good bus network is important to the local area (93 per cent of users and 82 per cent of non-users agree). Rail passengers2 also want this network to be effective, placing good connections in the top half of their priorities for improvement; but the National Rail Passenger Survey3 (NRPS) shows the most recent satisfaction with transport connections for Wales and Borders is only 65 per cent. Achieving the vision will be dependent on the delivery, monitoring and evaluation of the priorities, outcomes, policies and enablers which underpin the vision. -

Purpose of the Report 1.1 To seek Members views on the purpose and scope of the Integrated Responsive Transport (IRT) Pilot project and approve the project to progress in Blaenau Gwent. 2. Scope and Background 2.1. The Welsh Government has identified Blaenau Gwent as an area that would benefit from a pilot scheme that it is running across three local authority areas in Wales. Alongside Pembrokeshire and Conwy Councils, Blaenau Gwent will benefit from piloting a new type of public transport that will introduce hybrid service/ bookable journeys that interconnect with rail and other commercial routes and will form part of Transport for Wales’ ‘Fflecsi’ service. 2.2. The IRT ‘Fflecsi’ pilot service will be able to run outside the usual running times of the commercial services to enable travel to shift work in Blaenau Gwent’s industrial estates, will link with the main bus routes, and connect with the rail provision to Cardiff. 2.3. The project will pilot a new way of delivering bus services in Blaenau Gwent, working closely with the existing commercial service providers and plugging gaps within these services. -

Annual Report 2005 – 2006
This watermark does not appear in the registered version - http://www.clicktoconvert.com North Pembrokeshire Transport Forum Fforwm Trafnidiaeth Gogledd Penfro ANNUAL REPORT 2005 – 2006 Introduction The Forum works for the provision of an effective integrated transport system in the North Pembrokeshire area, promotes the benefits of public transport and works towards greater use of public transport systems. Its activities involve conducting research and gathering data with regard to all aspects of transport; providing an advice and assistance service to the travelling public; actively promoting its aims to and through governmental, quasi-governmental and advisory bodies; and working with bodies with similar aims. The Forum has been taking stock of the transport scene in North Pembrokeshire as it comes to the end of its three-year grant from the Sustainable Development Fund and its first six years of work. With regard to the provision of transport we have seen many improvements in bus, cycle and community transport services and facilities in North Pembrokeshire during the past six years. In contrast, there have been no improvements in train services. The following report provides more detail with regard to transport developments and the work of the Forum during the past year. Buses Service improvements: · Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC) is subsidising extra services between Fishguard and Haverfordwest on Friday and Saturday evenings in response to a request from POINT, the Fishguard young people’s drop-in centre. · In consultation with the community, PCC has arranged improved bus services for Spittal, with the addition of a Wednesday service and a shorter journey added to the existing Friday service. -
