    Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to TYNE AND WEAR meet your needs INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AUTHORITY Public consultation 15 March - 4 June 2010 Local bus links in Newcastle Designing a network to meet your needs Public consultation People in Newcastle make 47 million bus journeys annually - that’s an average of more than 173 journeys a year for every resident! Nexus, Newcastle City Council and the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority (ITA) want to make sure the network of bus services in the area meets residents’ needs. To do this, Nexus has worked together with bus companies and local councils to examine how current services operate and to look at what improvements could be made to the ‘subsidised’ services in the network, which are the ones Nexus pays for. We have called this the Accessible Bus Network Design Project (see below). We want your views on the proposals we are now making to improve bus services in Newcastle, which you can find in this document. We want to hear from you whether you rely on the bus in your daily life, use buses only occasionally or even if you don’t – but might consider doing so in the future. You’ll find details of different ways to respond on the back page of this brochure. This consultation forms part of the Tyne and Wear Integrated Transport Authority’s Bus Strategy, a three year action plan to improve all aspects of the bus services in Tyne and Wear. Copies of the Bus Strategy can be downloaded from www.nexus.org.uk/busstrategy.

  • INTERIM PAPER 'Product Design for An
    INTERIM PAPER ‘Product Design for an On-board Check-In System on the Tyne and Wear Metro for Passengers Travelling to Newcastle International Airport’ Jonathan Toal 120233449 Newcastle University Mechanical Engineering MSc Supervisor: Marin Marinov 1 INTRODUCTION With the ever growing problem surrounding the increasing congestion on the roads and carbon emissions, new ways to travel are being investigated which are more efficient, environmentally friendly and economical. Metro railway services are a viable solution to this problem, however, the public still take a preference to travelling by automotive vehicles and it is therefore the aim to encourage people to utilise the metro services more frequently by offering a genuine incentive. The Tyne and Wear Metro is a light railway which serves a large population of the North East. The metro has a station located at Newcastle International Airport, however, the vehicle is poorly equipped to facilitate passengers travelling to the airport with luggage. This in turn results in passengers opting to travel by taxi or car as the impracticality of carrying luggage on-board the metro is too great. To help improve the utilisation of the Tyne and Wear Metro, particularly those travelling to Newcastle International Airport, this study has looked into the potential of offering passengers a solution to the inconvenience of carrying luggage on-board the metro by investigating into implementing an on-board check-in system on the current Tyne and Wear Metro vehicles. The main focus of this study will be the interior product design of facilitating such an idea, however, this interim report will be focussing on the current research and literature obtained before then discussing the methodology to be conducted in completing this study and a brief summary in the current work completed and the direction in which the study is heading.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.
