  • Countdown to Launch of France's First Urban Cable
    International Edition – 14 November 2016 Countdown to launch of France’s first urban cable car On Saturday 19 November, Keolis will launch France’s first urban cable car in the city of Brest in north-west Brittany. The system features the vertical crossing of cabins – a world first – and will link the left bank station, situated on a hill above the naval base, to the right bank station located inside the Ateliers des Capucins. The new Capucins eco-district, structured around former French Navy workshops, will house shops and restaurants as well as cultural and leisure facilities. The cable car is operated automatically and the system is supervised by Keolis Brest teams at the Bibus network control room. The two, 60-passenger cabins provide breath-taking views of the harbour during the three- minute crossing over the river Penfeld. This new, economical and environmentally-friendly urban transport mode will be integrated into the city’s existing public transport network, and passengers can access the tram, bus and cable car with a single Bibus transport ticket.

  • Two Oxford Bus Company Engineers Retire After 97 Years Service
    Oxford Bus Company Managing Director Phil Southall sending off Dave Cook and Ray Leach Jan 11, 2021 09:42 GMT TWO OXFORD BUS COMPANY ENGINEERS RETIRE AFTER 97 YEARS SERVICE Mechanics Dave Cook and Ray Leach have downed tools after almost a combined century servicing buses at Oxford Bus Company. They have both retired after spending nearly 50 years each keeping buses in top condition. In careers spanning six decades, Mr Cook and Mr Leach experienced significant developments in the transport industry. Mr Cook joined Oxford Bus Company in August 1971, when Edward Heath was prime minister and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart by Bees Gees was Number One in the charts. He completed 49 years’ services in total. Mr Leach joined the company a year later in August 1972, when School’s Out by Alice Cooper was Number One in the charts, the average bus fare was 3p and a pint of beer 15p. Mr Leach completed 48 years’ service in total. The pair were at the forefront of ever-developing transport technology during their careers, which has included a recent transition from diesel vehicles to hybrid. Phil Southall, Oxford Bus Company Managing Director said: “Dave and Ray have been part of the Oxford Bus Company team for many years and will be sorely missed by colleagues. We wish them both a happy and long retirement with their families. “They have both experienced so much development in the bus industry and always kept abreast of engineering advancements. We are fortunate to have many loyal and hard-working colleagues and who are a credit to the company.” The Oxford Bus Company has kept the people of Oxford moving since 1881.

  • The Value of New Transport in Deprived Areas Who Benefi Ts, How and Why? Karen Lucas, Sophie Tyler and Georgina Christodoulou
    The value of new transport in deprived areas Who benefi ts, how and why? Karen Lucas, Sophie Tyler and Georgina Christodoulou An assessment of the value of new transport services to people living in deprived neighbourhoods in England. Regeneration strategies for deprived areas are currently under review. To date there has been little if any direct evaluation of the contribution of transport services to local regeneration. This study evaluates the benefi ts – both monetary and quality of life – of transport services to the people who use them and to the local practitioners responsible for the wider regeneration of these neighbourhoods. It covers: • the policy context; • characteristics of the four case study areas (Braunstone, Leicester; Camborne, Pool, and Redruth, Cornwall; Wythenshawe, Manchester and Walsall, West Midlands); • key fi ndings from interviews with local professionals; • information on use of the services and their value to local people; • an evaluation of the social benefi ts of the services; • key messages for local and central government.
