    Bonner, Martin (GVA) From: David Parker <[email protected]> Sent: 18 August 2017 14:34 To: Redding, John Cc: Matt Johnson; Paul Cornfoot; [email protected] Subject: Re: Wynyard Park Meeting Minutes Attachments: 170721 Stagecoach Meeting Minutes.docx WITHOUT PREJUDICE Hello John, Apologies for my slight delay in circulating this note. As noted from our discussion on 13 July 2017, it is apparent there remain a number of potential options in terms of how to serve the wider Wynyard development, and to provide desired 'connectivity' to other areas of the locality, and across the wider Teesside area, in the longer term. In our discussions, it was recognised that the suggested bus service should be developed in such a way so as to remain concurrent with land release within the development, as this will encourage sustainable travel by residents and visitors. A key element to this would be a phased approach to highways consent, highways build, and highways access, permitting the bus service to remain contemporary with release and occupation of sites. This will require the identification and delivery of suitable infrastructure to support the bus service (including ‐ but not limited to ‐ highways gauge, highways geometry, parking restraint measures, bus stop accessibility, shelter provision, etc). We look forward to sharing our views on this matter in subsequent discussions. In terms of bus service provision, we discussed three primary options, which I have summarised below: Option 1) The operation of a bespoke local shuttle service which would link the Wynyard development to the centre of Billingham (The Causeway). With a vehicle resource cost of 2 vehicles, a timetabled interval of up to 20 minutes could be offered.

  • New Commercial Terms for West Coast Franchise
    'Dinosaurs' Top honours Airport service Apprentice failing once again hitting wins top passengers in bus awards new heights UK title The newspaper of Stagecoach Group Issue 65 Winter 06/07 New commercial terms for West Coast franchise ew commercial terms that will Nrun through to March 2012 have Passengers to benefit from range of improvements been agreed for the West Coast rail franchise. The agreement has been welcomed by Stagecoach Group, which has a 49% shareholding in Virgin Rail Group (VRG), operator of the franchise since 1997. VRG has operated West Coast on a management contract since July 2002, following the collapse of Railtrack and changes to the infrastructure upgrade to the West Coast main line that prevented Virgin from running 140mph trains. The agreement with the Department for Transport (DfT) will mean passengers can benefit from a range of improvements, including: • 10 million extra seats a year from December 2008 on West Coast routes between London Euston and the West Midlands, the North West, Cumbria and Scotland • a 32% increase in daily train services from December 2008 • a new timetable and enhanced frequencies • continued management focus on improving punctuality even further. Under the deal, VRG plans to significantly increase the number of passenger journeys from the current level of 20 million a year in 2006-07. Separate proposals being discussed with the DfT would provide a further 10 million extra seats by adding two cars to each of VRG’s 53 nine-car Pendolino trains. Brian Souter, Stagecoach Group Chief Executive, said: “This new sustainable commercial franchise is an excellent deal for passengers, taxpayers and our share- holders.

  • Nexus Travel Safe Guide
    Travel safe A guide about community safety 2010 2 Introduction Travel safe A guide about community safety. This book is about some of the things that you need to know to travel safely by yourself in Tyne and Wear. We found out everything we could about travelling safely. We read other guides, we looked things up on the internet, we talked to the police and to road safety officers. We talked to people with learning disabilities about what they felt people needed to know. 3 When we had done all that, we put all the information together in this book. To help make this book easy to understand, we took pictures of the things you will see when you are travelling in Tyne and Wear or your own neighbourhood. We hope that this book helps you to get out and about and travel safe. 4 Contents My safety 7 Before you go out 8 When you’re out and about 9 Keeping your money safe 11 Things you should take with you 12 Using a phone box 15 Things you need to know 17 Road skills 18 Using a pedestrian crossing 19 Using a zebra crossing 20 Bridges and subways 21 The Green Cross Code 22 Where it is not safe to cross 24 Using rural roads 25 Other things to look out for 26 Using the bus 28 Plan your journey 29 At the bus stop 30 On the bus 32 If you need help 33 5 Using the Metro 34 Planning your journey 35 On the platform 36 On the Metro 37 Getting off the Metro 38 Don’t bother me 40 Someone’s following me 41 Never get into a car with a stranger 42 Out and about at night 43 Plan what you need 44 Who can help? 45 Talking to the police 46 Contact us 48 Contacts 49 Resources 50 6 My safety Before you go out Tell someone Where you are going How you are getting there How you are getting back What time you are getting back Who you are going with Plan your route Have a map and timetable 8 When you’re out and about Look confident Keep valuables out of sight - in your pocket (with a zip is best) or in a bag (if you carry a bag make sure it is zipped up and keep it close to your body).
