Christina Biggs – Rail and Transport Issues (Pages 16-18) 4. Andy O’Brien - WECA’s transport thinking and funding strategies (Pages 19-167) STATEMENT 1 – DICK DANIEL I am submitting the BATA reasons for instead investing in a tram / light-rail network for Bristol, Bath and the region. A proposal which will actually get people to switch from cars to trams, as I say in the submission, a switch that has never been demonstrated by buses, we are not against buses, we want buses, we want trams to be the backbone feed and linked to a comprehensive network of bus routes. I have also attached a chart showing the rise in passages numbers of the Manchester tram Metrolink, which has increased the numbers traveling by tram almost every year and now stands at 44.3 million journeys in the 2019/20 financial year. Also a short video of trams in the historic centre of Seville. A more technical document on the 'Technical, sociological and economic reasons why trams are an essential backbone to a bus based transport system’. Best regards Dick Dick Daniel BATA Board Member https://bathtrams.uk 1 BATH AREA TRAMS ASSOCIATION WECA 16th October 2020 The UK now has a growing list of cities and city-regions that has discovered that investing in trams / light-rail pays off. These are following the lead of cities around Europe and the world, including the USA, regions that are at the forefront of taking action on climate change, healthy active citizens and are highly economically productive.

  • 1. Oostende, De Haan and the Coast
    1. Oostende, De Haan and the coast Let’s start our trip at the coast. The Belgian coastline is hardly 65 kilometer long but going to the seaside has always been a popular day’s outing. So beware: in summer there might be traffic jams towards the coast, especially on sunny weekend days. And in the evening you get the traffic jam back inland. So unless you’re really keen on getting a sun tan (in which case you’d be better off in Spain than in Belgium) you might consider visiting the coast on a rainy day or even in winter. I like the melancholy of the closed shops, the grey skies, and the sad-looking people in the bars and restaurants. I suggest you start the tour of the coast in Oostende . Oostende is one of the oldest cities on the Belgian coast. Leopold II, the second king of Belgium, liked it a lot and gave it some royal grandeur so that Oostende was nicknamed “the queen of the bath cities”. Unfortunately, nowadays these stylish places are enclosed by ugly apartment blocks for tourists – mostly Belgians. Sadly, most other coast towns (like Blankenberge and Zeebrugge) only have the apartment blocks. Every suggested place to go mentioned in this article is easily reached by public transportation. If you decide to come by car you should follow the indications “randparking” if you want to visit Oostende . You can park for free and either walk to the centre in about 10-15 minutes, take a bus or even use a bike for free in summer! In the city parking spaces are scarce and you will have to pay, even on Sunday.

  • CSLER Capacity-Demand Comment
    CSELR EIS – Commentary on capacity and demand contained in the Transport Operations Report volume of the EIS By Peter Egan 04 1450 9700 peteregan2001@gmail,com 14/26 Hampden Rd Artarmon 2064 Summary This paper advises the operational capacity of the tram line is 3,900 passengers each direction – 20 seven-segment trams (43 metres long) carrying 195 passengers each. The capacity is slightly lower per square metre than achieved for a 12.5 metre standard bus (58 passengers) and for an 18 metre articulated bus (85 passengers) as tram passengers expect the slightly greater personal space achieved on a train. It is not possible to fit 300 passengers on the trams specified due to public order and safety concerns, the need to provide circulation space on the trams and the public’s perception of needed personal space. A 66 metre, eleven-segment tram is required for a 300 passenger operational capacity. In the constrained demand environment the tram service will experience, the operation capacity should be reduced to 3,600 for the peak hour due to the profile of Sydney’s public transport AM peak provided by Douglas Economics in 2012. The capacity reduction ensures that not many people are left behind at the busiest stop at the top of the peak hour. The EIS advises 80 seats will be provided on each tram for a seated capacity of 1,600, although a standard tram of the length specified normally has 88 fixed seats, 18 folding seats (106 seats in total), and space for 88 people to stand. An operational capacity of 194, not the 300 reported by TfNSW.
