The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart.

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

CF99 1NA Dear Dr Phipps National Assembly for Wales Enterprise and Business Committee Inquiry into the future of the Wales and Borders Franchise We thank you for the opportunity to respond to the inquiry into the future of the Wales and Borders Franchise. STAG (Severn Tunnel Junction Rail Action Group) was founded about seven years ago by commuters concerned at a cut made to their cross-border service to Bristol. Since that time we have represented the views of regular travellers from both Severn Tunnel Junction and Caldicot Stations. Our aim is to work with others to ensure the public Transport interests of all in this area of Monmouth are fairly considered. During the period since we started we have seen a growth in the use of Severn Tunnel Junction of fifty-eight per cent (2005-06 to 2011-12. Source: ORR. The use of Severn Tunnel Junction has also doubled in use as an interchange station, and we believe this will increase much further with an extra 1,700 homes currently being built up the line at Lydney in Gloucestershire! Closer to home, many more houses are planned. At Severn Tunnel Junction we also have a site now planned to become a ‘Park and Ride’. Situated close to both M48 and M4 motorways it is well placed to relieve traffic congestion both locally, and around Newport and Cardiff. We trust you find our response helpful.

  • FOOTNOTES Newsletter of the Dorset Area of the Ramblers Association ISSUE NO
    DORSET FOOTNOTES Newsletter of the Dorset Area of the Ramblers Association ISSUE NO. 69 Autumn 2014 TEN WALKING MISTAKES TO AVOID alking the right way can help you walk faster and more smoothly. Walking the wrong way can lead Wto wasted effort or even injury. The Human Resources team at McMaster University have come up with 10 walking mistakes to avoid, some are fairly obvious but still worth stating. 1: Over striding - When walkers try to walk faster, a natural inclination is to lengthen your stride in front, reaching out further with your forward foot. This leads to an ungainly gait, striking hard with the feet and making your shins hurt. The cure: All of the power of your walk comes from pushing with the back leg and foot; concentrate on taking shorter, quicker steps then think of really rolling through your step with your back foot and leg, getting a good push off. 2: The Wrong Boots – Heavy, stiff, too small when foot swells while walking. The cure: Get fitted for the right boots that are flexible enough for walking and sized right for those swelling feet. 3: Flapping, Slapping Feet - Your feet hit the ground with a slap and get no roll. You may develop shin pain. The cure: Get flexible boots that bend at the ball of the foot. 4: No Arms - You keep your arms still at your sides while walking, or swing them without bending them. You notice that your hands swell quite a bit while walking. A normal walking motion uses the arms to counterbalance the leg motion.
