  • Rail Wales Issue 57
    Issue 57 Autumn 2014 Rail Wales Newsletter of the Welsh branches of Railfuture A Holyhead to Birmingham International train arriving at Llanfair PG A new editor for Rail Wales Peter Kingsbury will be replacing Peter Clark as the compiler/editor of Rail Wales from the Spring 2015 issue. Peter K has written a few words to introduce himself: ‘I am a relatively new member of the Railfuture South Wales committee but have had a lifelong interest in public transport and belief in the role it can play in improving the quality of people’s lives. I have lived and worked in Cardiff for most of my adult life although some may consider me to be an immigrant as I grew up in the suburbs of London where my passion for rail travel was first kindled by journeys on the London Underground. I had travelled on every part of the system by the age of 13 including several routes which have since closed. 'I moved to Cardiff in the 1980's just in time to see the opening of Cathays station. This was, I believe, the first stop on a 25 year journey of substantial improvements to the Valleys network which has seen a growth in network mileage, station openings and train frequency the scale of which is probably unequalled outside London. What happens next in terms of electrification and possible use of trams is currently subject to intense debate. Although living in metropolitan South Wales, I have an interest in the role of rail services in all parts of the country and aim to ensure that Rail Wales carries news and comment covering the north, mid and west of Wales.

Now, as every successful group travel organiser and tour operator knows, they rate highly as enduringly popular destinations with exceptionally wide appeal. For tour operators, one of heritage rail’s first moors, mountains, forests, open countryside and appeals is proximity. There are some 200 coastlines, where there are no roads, and where preserved railways, tramways, steam centres the vistas are both stunning, and unique to the and related museums in the UK – a respectable rail passenger. alternative to, say, the National Trust’s 300 historic buildings.

  • Report on the Value of Heritage Railways
    All Party Parliamentary Group on Heritage Rail Report on the Value of Heritage Railways July 2013 1 Members conducting the oral evidence sessions House of Commons: Mark Garnier MP (Con) - Chair Susan Elan Jones MP (Lab) -Vice-Chair Martin Vickers MP (Con) - Vice-Chair Nigel Mills MP (Con) Nicky Morgan MP (Con) Helen Goodman MP (Lab) Robert Goodwill MP (Con) Andrew Selous (Con) Richard Bacon (Con) (Research Assistants to Rt Hon Patrick McLoughlin MP and Norman Lamb MP also attended a session.) House of Lords: Lord Grocott (Lab) - Vice-Chair Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Lab) - Vice-Chair Lord Snape (Lab) Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru) Secretariat: Chris Austin, OBE - Secretary 2 PART ONE – KEY RECOMMENDATIONS AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Key recommendations. The Group has made six key recommendations as a result of this inquiry: FOR GOVERNMENT 1. Planning Law. Heritage railways should be able to benefit from the same permitted development rights as Network Rail does on the national network. We believe guidance is needed to prevent over-zealous interpretation of planning legislation and regulation stifling development of heritage railways. 2. Railway extensions. The requirements for a Transport & Works Act Order for modest extensions to heritage lines should be simplified, possibly using an on-line proforma application process. 3. Sponsorship. The Department for Transport should take the lead sponsorship role on policies affecting heritage railways. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport should remain responsible for policy on tourism issues and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills for apprenticeships, training and development. FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES 4. Public Transport. There is scope to provide a public transport service on some heritage railways and a „public tourist service‟ on some others which should 3 be further developed and encouraged.
