Summer 2017 Newsletter from Railfuture Wessex Branch
Summer 2017 Newsletter from Railfuture Wessex Branch Chairman’s Message Well here we go again with another newsletter, the big news being the winning of the South West franchise by First/MTR. To date we do not think the contract between them and Department for Transport has been completed and so we continue just with a watching brief. The Company’s first public offering *Improving South Western Railway looks at first sight to be good, but on closer study it seems to promise little. We will have to do much work to understand where these improvements can be delivered … and how! Passengers will not be interested in a 10% journey time saving if intermediate stops are to be cut. No doubt this will be the subject of a consultation in due course. In the meantime, good luck to Andy Mellors who is the new MD of South Western Railway, previously having been GWR Engineering Director. *read it online here: http://www.firstgroupplc.com/about-firstgroup/uk-rail/improving-south-western-railway.aspx On the West of England Line (Waterloo-Salisbury-Exeter), we can see no benefits from the new franchise: no new trains, and a journey time saving from Salisbury to Waterloo that can only be achieved by cutting out Woking and Clapham Junction stops. Railfuture is set against that and will mobilise passengers and members to say “no” when the consultation appears. Why the DfT specifies such matters which have no passenger benefit, we do not know … but we will work with First/MTR, local MP’s and rail authorities to ensure long term passenger benefits accrue. -

Football League Championship; Venue: Hillsborough, Sheffield; Score 0-2; Admission: £16.00 (Kop Stand); Prog: £3.00; Att: 18,329; Match Rating: 3*
TT0910-126 TT No.126: Justin Holmes - Sat 19th December 2009; Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea City; Football League Championship; Venue: Hillsborough, Sheffield; Score 0-2; Admission: £16.00 (Kop Stand); Prog: £3.00; Att: 18,329; Match Rating: 3*. Hillsborough is a stadium that has long been on my wish-list to visit, and although the game itself probably did not justify the long trek north in Arctic conditions, the stadium certainly did. As I set out long before sunrise and wading my way through deep snow to get to the train station, I was wondering if I would be able to make the long trip up to Sheffield, although happily the trains were surprisingly bang on time and so I managed to make the coach (for the bargain price of £1 booked with Megabus) for the long trip north. Arriving at Meadowhall Interchange, next to the Meadowhall Shopping Centre, I made my way to catch the tram for the direct, 40- minute ride through Sheffield Centre to the Lepping Lane stop, which is a short walk from the stadium. Before entering the stadium, I stopped off at the memorial to the Hillsborough disaster, which is a very subtle and unremarkable memorial which is probably how it should be. From there, I bought my programme for £3 which is everything that would be expected of a football league programme - glossy hardened cover and full of information and photos - and was a good read before the match and during the long trip home. I then made my way to the Kop Stand clutching my e-ticket which I bought online.
