I wanted to improve ticketing information for passengers and make it easier for people to choose the best value fare for their journey. This report sets out the progress we have achieved over the last year, and applies my test: whether we are making a day-to-day difference for the travelling public. The Action Plan has achieved a number of valuable outcomes. As a result of work the Rail Delivery Group has done – in collaboration with the Action Plan partners – more Advance Purchase tickets will be available on the day of travel, industry ticketing jargon has been cut back, and the information supplied to passengers is being improved. Indeed over 1 million Advance Purchase tickets have been sold following this change. The way forgotten railcards are handled has been made more passenger-friendly. A substantial amount of value has been generated simply by the act of Government, the Office of Rail and Road, the rail industry and consumer and passenger representatives coming together with a determination to drive change. I would like to thank everybody who has been involved in these successes. There are two key areas which we need to persevere with into a second year. Work to date on the fares trials and ticket vending machine improvements has identified some challenges that need more time to be addressed. These are important actions, and I remain determined to see progress and work with partners as necessary. I also acknowledge that our work is by no means done. For example, the recent issue highlighted by Transport Focus, of the sale of advanced tickets conflicting with engineering works, has increased my resolve to act as a champion for consumers. I am pleased to say the industry is already developing plans that will address this and the broader issues underlying it. I remain committed to improving the passenger experience on the railways, and will continue to work with industry and other stakeholders to do so. The Action Plan also included the first of a programme of engagement and action to realise my ambition to ensure that people with physical and hidden disabilities have the same access to transport and opportunities to travel as everyone else. I will be returning to this theme in the New Year as the Department considers the responses to the consultation on an Accessibility Action Plan. Paul Maynard MP, Rail Minister 4 Introduction 1 In December 2016 a working group comprising the Department for Transport, Which?, the Rail Delivery Group, the Office of Rail and Road (the rail regulator) and Transport Focus launched the ‘Action Plan for Information on Rail Fares and Ticketing’. The aim of the plan was to set out clear steps to improve fares and ticketing for passengers. Representatives of the working group have met monthly to provide oversight and monitor progress on achieving the actions. Transport Focus and Which? have played an important role as observers: ensuring the voice of the passenger – and consumer – is heard. The ORR, also an observer, has provided valuable insight into competition and consumer affairs and accessibility issues, and action it was taking was presented in the Action Plan in context. 2 The Action Plan was structured into four themes to reflect the ticket buying process: • How you chose your ticket • What you buy • Where to buy your ticket, and • How to buy your ticket. 3 This report summarises progress in each of these areas. For each action, the report asks: ‘What difference has this action made for the passenger?' Next steps 4 This Action Plan has delivered tangible progress to improve the passenger experience of fares and ticketing. The procedures for forgotten railcards have been refined and improvements to ticket vending machines and train operator websites now means it is easier for passengers to choose the best value ticket for their journey. 5 However there remains more to be done beyond the timescales of the Action Plan. The DfT continues to work with the industry to implement the RDG’s 10 Point Plan for ticket vending machines and refine plans for trials of fares simplification initiatives. All of the working group members are committed to completing these actions and are giving consideration to continuing joint monitoring arrangements into a second year. 6 We are already considering how we can go further. For instance, the industry will build on the progress to date by working to ensure that customers are kept informed of the upcoming availability of advance tickets when looking to book ahead to save money, and that they are kept informed of planned disruption due to engineering works and provided with the best alternative choices for a comfortable journey. 7 It is also important to take stock. We will review the Action Plan and assess its impact on the issues it was designed to tackle, and we will consider how best to use existing monitoring surveys and metrics in this process. 5 1.

  • Newsletter No. 78 March 2019
    SARPA Newsletter No.78 Page 1 Shrewsbury Aberystwyth Rail Passengers’ Association Newsletter No. 78 March 2019 NEW ROLLING STOCK – MORE QUESTIONS EMERGING THAN ANSWERS? Transport for Wales honeymoon period on taking over the franchise was very brief indeed: suffice to say the failure to address long standing and well-known issues that had been repeatedly flagged up by SARPA (and others) to the Welsh Government before the end of the ATW franchise underpinned the problems in late autumn. Having not addressed issues pre-October 2018 we then got a new franchise that wasn’t addressing issues in October 2018, instead we have some wonderful plans for the future. It’s Jam tomorrow says the Welsh Government. Let’s look at one aspect of that: the new rolling stock being acquired for our line. It all looked rather impressive. The new DMU’s from the Civity range (see artists impression above) are to be built by Spanish Manufacturer CAF. There will be a mix of 51 x 2 car and 26 x 3 car units to run all long distance DMU services away from the South Wales Metro area. Initial comments and focus were on the door positions @ 1/3 and 2/3 instead of the ends of carriages, and on concerns over the internal layout. Would it be appropriate for long distance travelers, with plenty of luggage racks, views out of windows and plenty of tables? People were worried they would be getting an outer suburban train rather than an appropriate vehicle for the Cambrian. We flagged this up very early with contacts at TfW Rail Services, and had verbal reassurances that the internal layout would be appropriate for our line, and that the fleet of 77 DMU’s would be go anywhere units - all fitted with ETCS, and services would be flexible and tailored to demand flows with 2,3,4,5,6 car formations appearing as appropriate.

    Confronting Unemployment in a Street-Level Bureaucracy: Jobcentre staff and client perspectives Sharon Elizabeth Wright Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Applied Social Science University of Stirling 2003 Declaration I declare that none of the work contained within this thesis has been submitted for any other degree at any other university. The contents found herein have been composed by the candidate, Sharon Elizabeth Wright. Acknowledgements A debt of gratitude goes to my supervisors, Angus Erskine and Ian McIntosh, for their continual support, advice and guidance. Thank you for never letting me down. This research would not have been possible without the participation of the members of staff and unemployed people who allowed me to observe them and ask endless silly questions. In particular, I would like to thank Jim for all the time that he gave for the research and the efforts that he made to ensure that things ran smoothly. Thanks go to those in Stirling who inspired me and helped me through the long years: Rhoda, Jacqueline, Ruth, Katrina and Gill. I’m going to miss those cake breaks. And to my soul mates at Warwick who have aided and abetted, shared food and drink and helped me to laugh in the face of PhD adversity: Alan, Michael, Alison, Joan and Anne. Thank you for providing relief from the fatigue and strength to carry on. To the friends and family who have kept reminding me that life is about more than getting a PhD - thank you for everything you have done, for the laughs we’ve had and for knowing when not to mention it: Mum and Dad, Julia, Simon and Rachael, Cathy and Giles, Helen, Jane, Erica and Graeme.
