  • Rail for All Report
    RAIL FOR ALL Delivering a modern, zero-carbon rail network in Scotland Green GroupofMSPs Policy Briefing SUMMARY Photo: Times, CC BY-SA 2.5 BY-SA Times, CC Photo: The Scottish Greens are proposing the Rail for All investment programme: a 20 year, £22bn investment in Scotland’s railways to build a modern, zero-carbon network that is affordable and accessible to all and that makes rail the natural choice for commuters, business and leisure travellers.

  • Scotrail's Top Ten Busiest Trains
    transport.gov.scot ScotRail’s Top Ten Busiest Trains Report May 2018 ScotRail’s top ten busiest trains Transport Scotland 1. The train counts process – introduction 1.1 The data in this Ten Busiest Trains publication has been derived from a mix of manual snapshot counts and Automated Passenger Counts (APC). Fitment of Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) equipment has been completed across 40% of the fleet, and this will allow ScotRail better to manage its train fleet efficiently going forward, as the equipment provides more frequent and accurate passenger loading data. 1.2 It is a requirement of the Franchise Agreement that the Franchisee shall undertake a minimum of four counts per year, once automated passenger counting equipment has been installed (with the exception of the Class 314 trains, where the equipment has not been fitted as they are due to go off-lease at the end of the year; therefore, manual counts are still undertaken). Previously, all passenger counts was undertaken via manual ‘snapshot’ surveys which were undertaken annually. 1.3 ScotRail’s franchise obligation is to use reasonable endeavours to allocate its train fleet and resources in the most effective way, to provide passengers with a reasonable expectation of a seat within 10 minutes of boarding a train, and to minimise any forecast overcrowding. The exception is on non-stop train journeys between Glasgow Central and Paisley Gilmour Street. This is because a journey between those two stations is served by 8 trains per hour in either direction, with a journey time of ten or eleven minutes. 1.4 The passenger carrying capacity for each service and passenger numbers are incorporated into a Train Plan which ScotRail is obliged to prepare and submit to Transport Scotland for consideration & approval, for each timetable change in May and December.

The detailed YTA Framework and Data Workbook are provided under separate cover. The YTA was developed to provide a framework to measure and monitor the performance of Scotland’s towns and town centres using a series of Key Performance Indicators. It provides a comprehensive audit of Busby with data on up to 180 KPIs across seven themes – Locality, Accessibility, Local Services, Activities + Events, Development Capacity, Tourism, and Place + Quality Impressions. The Understanding Scottish Places (USP) data platform provides a summary analysis for Busby and identifies 14 comparator towns that have similar characteristics, with the most similar being Lossiemouth, Culloden, Aviemore and Dyce1. The USP platform – www.usp.scot – describes Busby in the following general terms: Busby’s Interrelationships: Busby is an ‘interdependent town’, which means it has a medium number of assets in relation to its population.

Each profile provides indicators for a range of health outcomes (e.g. life expectancy, mortality, hospitalisation) and health determinants (e.g. smoking levels, breastfeeding, income, employment, crime, education). These profiles build on the success of both the 2004 community health profiles published by NHS Health Scotland (www.scotpho.org.uk/communityprofiles), and of the ‘Let Glasgow Flourish’ report published by GCPH in April 2006 (www.gcph.co.uk/content/view/17/34/). Whilst these sources continue to be useful, there has been recognition of the need for more up-to-date health data and for information pertaining to the new Community Health (and Care) Partnership (CH(C)P) administrative structures.

    Barrhead Church Kibera Project Issue 15 August 2012 Our Mission Statement: “The aim of this partnership is to establish a relationship between the Christian communities of Barrhead and Kibera by sharing Mission, Education, and Mutual Friendship.” On Saturday 9th June, the volunteers arrived at Bourock Parish Church, ready and willing to inflate around 1800 balloons, attaching the tickets that local people had so generously purchased. Cream Teas were served throughout the afternoon at Arthurlie Parish Church. After receiving the ‘ok’ from Air Traffic Control at Glasgow Airport, the balloons were released. 98 were found and returned, and the lucky winners notified. (Balloon Race photographs courtesy of R McKenzie) The profit stands at £2219 – a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped in any way with this event.
