These statements of priorities are the strategic goals that the London and South East rail market should aim to meet in the long term. Strategic goals are identified based on the aspirations of current and likely future rail industry funders. They are also developed through collaboration with industry partners and stakeholders and a review of existing literature. Conditional outputs are developed to meet these identified strategic goals.” What have we previously researched about this market?

  • Railways at Lewes, by Robert Cheesman Introduction
    Railways at Lewes, by Robert Cheesman Introduction This article came about as a result of a request from a member of Friends of Lewes after one of our talks in January, 2017. Two managers from the BAM-Nuttall team who had completed a year-long renovation of the station’s listed buildings came to describe the challenges they had faced and this was preceded by a short history of railways in the town by Robert Cheesman, Chairman of the Friends of Lewes. Afterwards it was suggested that it would be interesting to have a more detailed account. A.H. Homewood postcard of Lewes Station c. 1905, John Hollands collection * 1 Description of the lines Image © Railway Magazine * After some speculative schemes had been put forward, the first railway from Brighton opened on 8 June 1846, having bisected the Priory Remains to reach Lewes. The station was in Friars Walk and had an ornate Italianate frontage on to the street. This station survived until it was demolished without permission over the Easter weekend in 1969. Friars Walk frontage of the original Lewes station * 2 On 27 June 1846 services were extended to St Leonards (Bulverhythe), but this meant that services from Brighton to St Leonards had to reverse out of Lewes station as it was a terminus. The following year (1847) the London line from Keymer Junction, which tunnelled for some 370 yards under the castle precinct, and the branch line to Newhaven opened. Many of these trains used the station in Friars Walk, although to make operating easier platforms were provided at Pinwell (from 1847) so that some through trains could stop in Lewes without having to reverse out of the station.

  • Strategy Vision, Goals, Priorities and Principles
    Arundel SCATE Transport for the South East - Draft Strategy Consultation January 2020 Arundel SCATE (Ascate) is an Arundel residents group, affiliated to the South Coast Alliance for Transport and Environment (SCATE) network body. Ascate has around 200 signed up supporters, comprising almost entirely local residents and small businesses, and wider support in Arundel and nearby villages. It was formed in 2014 in response to the latest Highways England proposals for a major dual carriageway bypass to the town of Arundel on the A27 SRN route. Arundel SCATE supports sustainable, long term solutions to traffic issues in the area including moderate road improvements and integrated public transport and active travel measures. The group opposes plans for an outdated and hugely damaging dualled, off-line bypass across the Arun Valley. We welcome establishment of TfSE as a Sub-national Transport Body for the south east and believe this new body can provide a lead in coordinated integration of transport networks, enable high standards in sustainable spatial development and forward thinking infrastructure development across transport authorities. In particular, TfSE can help to ensure that tackling the climate and ecological crisis is at the heart of all transport and access improvement plans to develop a healthy and balanced economy. Ascate is pleased to be able to contribute comments on TfSE's draft strategy. Strategy vision, goals, priorities and principles Ascate generally supports the vision and strongly supports the strategic priorities and the key principles. However, whilst understanding that TfSE is compelled to work to government objectives, we would challenge the idea of 'sustainable economic growth' which is an oxymoron in a world of finite resources and sinks and suggest that a vision of a healthy and thriving economy that will equitably sustain current and future generations, is more appropriate.

  • The Gibb Report – an Assessment
    UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM PRESTIGE LECTURE 3rd October 2017 The Gibb Report – An Assessment by Piers Connor1 Background to the Gibb Report In September 2014, a new company, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR), was given the contract to run train services operated over the Thameslink, Great Northern, Gatwick Express and Southern Railway. In the year leading up to the summer of 2016, the performance of the Southern Railway, the part of the Govia Thameslink Railway covering the suburban and south coast services between London and a large section of the southern coast of England, deteriorated to a level where passenger dissatisfaction was leading to public demonstrations and persistent media criticism. Eventually, the government was forced to act and they decided to commission a review of Southern and its service performance. The result was the Gibb Report2. to the West Midlands, North West and Scotland to Bedford Milton Keynes Central Bletchley Leighton Buzzard Tring SERVICES AND FACILITIES Berkhamsted London Cannon Street Hemel Hempstead This is a general guide to the basic daily services.
