  • The Future of Island Line – Options Report”
    A Technical Response to the Report “The Future of Island Line – Options Report” By Mark Brinton MIET March 2016 Page 1 1. Executive Summary This Report should be read in conjunction with Chris Garnett’s Report “The Future of Island Line – Options Report”. I have set out to discuss the issues raised in the Garnett Report mainly from an engineering and technical point of view. My reports contains a detailed analysis of the various technical claims made the supporters of conversion of Island Line to a tramway and casts significant doubts as to the cost benefits claimed for the conversion of the existing railway into a tramway and the use of tram vehicles. I have also questioned the safety and legal aspects of the proposed method of operation of this tramway. I have also sought to address a number of myths and rumours surrounding some of the technical issues relating to Island Line. Unfortunately some of these have found their way into Christopher Garnett’s report and could be considered to be affecting its conclusions. The last part of my report describes a possible alternative to a tramway which should cost less to implement and reduce day-to-day operational costs whilst securing the operation of Island Line within the National Rail Network. 2. Introduction This document has been produced as a considered technical response to the statements and proposals put forward in the report “The Future of Island Line – Options Report” prepared by Christopher Garnett for the Isle of Wight Council in January 2016 [the Garnett Report]. As the author of this Report, I am a practicing railway engineer, with over forty years of experience mainly in traction and rolling stock engineering.

  • The Rail User Express. We Continue with the Usual Roundup of News Items from Groups Around the UK. Please Keep Your C
    September 2019 Welcome to the Rail User Express. RUX is published around the middle of each month. It may be forwarded, or items reproduced in another newsletter (quoting sources). Anyone may request RUX as an email attachment, or opt to be notified when it is posted on the Railfuture (Rf) website. There is no charge for either service. Following GDPR, Railfuture Membership now maintains both lists. Please advise if you no longer wish to receive the newsletter or link, or if you know of anyone who would like to be added. For further details of any of the stories mentioned, please consult the relevant website, or ask the editor for the source material. RUX congratulates Network Rail (NR) for delivering £98million of vital improvements over the late August Bank Holiday weekend. Blessed with fine albeit very hot weather, a 10,500 strong team worked round the clock to finish 448 projects on time, allowing a normal service to resume on the Tuesday. Some projects such as track renewal and the transfer of signalling control will have an immediate benefit; some will enable an improved timetable in December, while others have laid the ground for future developments. But all contribute to the Rf aim of a better railway. Well done! Roger Smith We continue with the usual roundup of news items from groups around the UK. Please keep your contributions coming: they are all gratefully received. Friends of the Far North Line FoFNL is still awaiting news of any improvements, which seems to extend back at least a couple of years.

  • Land Off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield
    2019/1013 Applicant: National Grid Description: Planning application for National Grid's Visual Impact Provision (VIP) project involving the following works:1) Construction of a new sealing end compound, including permanent access; 2) Construction of a temporary haul road from Brook Hill Lane including widened bellmouth; 3) Construction of a temporary Trans Pennine Trail Diversion to be used for approximately 12 - 18 months; following construction approximately 410m of said diversion surface would be retained permanently; and 4) Erection of two bridges (one temporary and one permanent) along the Trans Pennine Trail diversion Site Address: Land off Brook Hill Lane, Dunford Bridge, Barnsley, Sheffield Site Description The site stretches from Dunford Bridge in the Peak District National Park to Wogden Foot LWS approximately 1.8km to the east. With the exception of the sealing end compounds at either end, the site is linear and broadly follows the route of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT). At Dunford Bridge the site extends to the former rail tunnel entrance and includes the existing sealing end compound located behind properties on Don View. Beyond this is the TPT car park and the TPT itself which is a former rail line running from Dunford Bridge to Penistone; now utilised as a bridleway. The site takes in land adjacent the TPT along which a temporary diverted bridleway route is proposed. In addition, Wogden Foot, a Local Wildlife Site (LWS) located 1.8km to the east is included (in part) as the proposed location of a new sealing end compound; construction access to this from Windle Edge also forms part for the application.

  • Rail Strategy 2006-2011 and Beyond Now We’Removing Informing, Engaging and Inspiring Foreword Essex Rail Strategy – 2006-2011 and Beyond
    Essex Rail Strategy 2006-2011 and Beyond now we’removing informing, engaging and inspiring Foreword Essex Rail Strategy – 2006-2011 and Beyond ‘I cannot think of a higher priority for the County Council than for it to strive to achieve a first class highways and transportation system for all who live in, work in or visit the county of Essex. The challenges in front of us are enormous. Over 130,000 new homes are being proposed for Essex and its borders with surrounding authorities, the travel needs of which will have a direct impact on the transport network in Essex. All aspects of passenger transport will play a key role in delivering this vision. The County Council has therefore produced three daughter strategies to support the Local Transport Plan, focusing on how passenger transport will contribute towards a fully integrated transport network. The Road Passenger Transport, Bus Information and Rail Strategies outline the ways in which we intend to improve the lives of Essex people by addressing traffic growth, road congestion and improving public transport. They contain measures aimed at improving options for travel and access to services to develop a more effective transport network. To produce the strategies the County Council has consulted widely at regional, district and parish level, with key service providers, a wide range of user groups and the general public so that collectively they represent a tangible commitment by Essex County Council to make our County a better place to live and work and to support a decent public transport network. I am committed to delivering a transport system that meets the challenges we face in Essex and look forward to working in partnership with stakeholders to bring about the transformation we now need.’ Councillor Rodney L.

  • Great Ideas for Discovering the Best of the Broads by Cycle
    Great ideas for discovering the best of the Broads by cycle • On-road cycling routes using quiet lanes, and traffic-free cycle ways • Tips on where to cycle, taking your bike on a train and bus, and where to stop off Use a cycle to explore the tranquil beauty and natural treasures of the wetland landscapes that make up the Broads – a unique area characterised by windmills, grazing marshes, boating scenes, vast skies, reedy waters and historic settlements. There are idyllically quiet lanes and virtually no hills. If you’re touring the Broads by boat, you can stop off for a while and hire bikes from several places by the water, and see some of the area’s many other attractions. Cycling in the Broads gets you to places public transport cannot reach, and you see much that you might otherwise miss from a car or even a boat. It’s also a healthy and environmentally friendly way of getting around. Centre: How Hill (photo: Tim Locke); left and right: cycling round the Broads (photos: Broads Authority) Contents An introduction to discovering the Broads by bike, offering several itineraries in one. It starts with details of using the Bittern Line to get you to Hoveton & Wroxham, where you can hire a bike and follow Broads Bike Trails, or cycle alongside the Bure Valley Railway; how to join up with the BroadsHopper bus from rail stations; ideas for cycling in the Ludham and Hickling area; and some highlights of Sustrans NCN Route 1 from Norwich. The Broads Bike Hire Network of seven cycle hirers is listed in the last section.
