    Railway Upgrade Plan – London North Eastern and East Midlands (LNE&EM)

    Railway Upgrade Plan – London North Eastern and East Midlands (LNE&EM) 2017/18 London North Eastern and East Midlands Glossary CaSL – Cancelled and Significantly Late. This measures how many trains are cancelled or are more than 29 minutes late at their terminating station. MAA – Moving Annual Average. PPM – Public Performance Measure. This is the percentage of trains that arrive at their terminating station within five minutes (for commuter services) or ten minutes (for long distance services) of when they were due. Reduction in railway work complaints measure – We believe that the number of complaints that we receive from the public about our work could be reduced if we improve how we inform people about work due to take place, and ensure all our staff behave considerately towards those living and working close to the railway. Each route is therefore aiming to reduce the number of complaints it receives in the coming year. Right Time Arrival – This measures the percentage of trains arriving at their terminating station early or within 59 seconds of schedule. 16 London North Eastern and East Midlands London North Eastern and East Midlands 17 London North Eastern and East Midlands (LNE&EM) Introduction from the route managing director – Rob McIntosh On LNE&EM, our purpose can be summarised with a simple phrase – we care about our people, we are proud about our work and we are passionate about railways. Each day, we serve around 20 per cent of the UK’s travelling public, with hundreds of commuter and leisure services connecting major cities and conurbations, supporting regional economies up and down the country.

By Mark Parry With the proposed trans-Pennine high speed line being supported, we feared the upgrade of the existing line had been quietly forgotten. Transpennine Express new rolling stock at Manchester Piccadilly–Photo by Robert Pritchard The following is a joint press release from our branch and HADRAG: The Halifax & District Rail Action Group; SHRUG: Stalybridge to Huddersfield Rail Users Group; UCVRSTG: Upper Calder Valley Renaissance Sustainable Transport Group. CAMPAIGNERS in West Yorkshire are extremely concerned about lack of progress by the Government and Network Rail on infrastructure proposals that should deliver improvements for travellers in the next few years, including the TransPennine Route Upgrade (TRU). Three rail user groups and the Yorkshire Branch of Railfuture have written to Andrew Haines, Chief Executive of Network Rail, who was recently been quoted as casting doubt on TRU. In a magazine interview (RAIL 897, 29 Jan’2020) Haines had said the scope of TRU could depend on the high-speed rail proposal “Northern Powerhouse Rail” (NPR). The campaigners say NPR is decades away and will not benefit stations on regional routes that desperately need investment now. Continued overleaf… Railfuture, Yorkshire & North West Joint Branch Meeting This meeting has been postponed because of concerns about the Coronavirus. We will contact members later about alterative arrangements. 1 | Railfuture: Yorkshire Rail Campaigner 4 8 – M a r c h 2020 The campaigners have also written to Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps MP, and to the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, calling for urgent, overdue projects to go ahead without further delay.

    Keighley Community Led Local Development KEIGHLEY COMMUNITY LED LOCAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2017-2022 1. INTRODUCTION This Local Development Strategy (LDS) has been developed by the Keighley Community Led Local Development (CLLD) Local Action Group (LAG), and validated by businesses, residents and other stakeholders within the CLLD area. The LAG has agreed the overall vision for the CLLD area as: Keighley CLLD area, by 2022, will be an enterprising, aspirational and positive place, where: our people are personally accountable and able to develop resilience and self-esteem, increasing well-being; our businesses are innovative and productive, and supported to set up and grow; diversity is respected, understood and appreciated; there is connectivity, integration, networking, amongst businesses and residents; pathways are put into place to help us to upskill and ‘grow our own’; and encourage and support sustainable career progression; and the environment is clean, green and attractive. This strategy sets out the needs of the Keighley CLLD area and our proposed approach to investing £6m (£1.5m ESF, £1.5m ERDF, £2.1m Public resources and £0.9m private resources) to address these needs, capitalising on the strengths and opportunities in the area, whilst reducing the weaknesses and threats impacting on the economy, businesses and local population, thereby contributing to the achievement of the vision. 2. KEIGHLEY CLLD AREA The Keighley CLLD area is nine miles from Bradford City Centre and falls in the Bradford Metropolitan District Council local authority area, within Leeds City Region. Keighley is Bradford District’s largest town after the city centre. It became part of Bradford Metropolitan District in 1974.
