Will the Filton Bank 4-tracking be Trains on the Severn Beach line - will completed by the end of 2018? the new trains run on time this year? Severn Beach train passing Portway P & R site. Photo by Greater Bristol Metro Rail Portishead passenger service - will the Portway Park & Ride station - will finances be sorted out this year? work start on the new platform? 1 My thoughts on the new Intercity Express Trains Olga Taylor We all knew that the new Hitachi Class 800s known as the InterCity Express Programme trains were coming into service in October 2017. Train enthusiasts had been taking pictures of the Class 800s being trialled on the Swansea to Paddington route for a while, but the date was still to be confirmed. It must have been kept secret, probably, to ensure that the very first service would not attract too much attention – especially if there were any issues! Even GWR staff were warned to avoid the very first one, to ensure that the 10 coach train would not get overcrowded. So you can only imagine how surprised and thrilled I was when I received a message from one of Pilning station supporters, saying he was pretty certain that the 06:00 from Bristol Temple Meads on the following Monday was scheduled to be the very first IEP public service - and I, of all people, was actually invited to come along and share the fun! Inside the IEP on Monday 16/10/2017, at Bath Spa So there I was, on Platform 15 at Bristol Temple Meads, passed strict security, at 5:30 in the morning of Monday October the 16 th , and whom did I see but the one and only Mark Youngman, GWR’s Integrated Transport Manager! I would like to think that he was surprised to see me there, with my best frock on.

  • Project Title
    Chapter 8 - Transport Introduction The Importance of Transport 8.1 Transport is important to the economy of Leicester and Leicestershire, affecting both the resident population and businesses alike. Efficient public transport, combined with a well planned and developed infrastructure, can increase the attractiveness of a region as a place to live and work. The accessibility and connectivity provided by transport infrastructure is also an important factor to businesses when considering where to locate as they require access to a strong supply of labour, as well as being able to transport intermediate and finished goods from suppliers to customers. In this way, transport is seen as an enabler of economic performance. This chapter will look to review the extent to which the existing transport network within Leicester and Leicestershire aligns with such conditions. Transport as an Enabler 8.2 Since the early 1990s, the concept of transport as an enabler has become increasingly prevalent. In this time, transport planning and delivery has moved from the art of simply ‘moving people from A to B’ to one of maximising opportunity and quality of life. The Local Transport Plan process, initiated in 2000, led local authorities to directly consider how well their transport networks, and particularly public transport, provided access to employment as well as to a range of services including GPs’ surgeries, schools and shops. 8.3 The second round of Local Transport Plans, for 2006/07-2010/11, also placed a new emphasis on reducing transport emissions and improving local air quality. However, it was not until the Stern Review in 2006 that government thinking on transport truly began to reflect the link between man-made, 1 transport-related, CO2 emissions and climate change.
