The rights are based on the principles of non-discrimination, accurate, timely and accessible information as well as prompt and adequate assistance. There is also a specific code of transport regulating conditions under which a carrier transports persons, baggage, animals and goods on the rail network. The actual creation of such transport regulations should follow from a certain methodology. Thus, the paper´s objective is to propose methodical procedures that would be related to a set of regulations in railway passenger transport. The manual proposed will respect relevant legislation, which determines minimum requirements for developing transport regulations, and obligations of carriers as well. As the code of transport is part of public proposals for concluding transport contracts of the carriage of passengers, the methodical manual will contribute to making regulations in passenger transport to be better suited to practical requirements.

  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

  • Consultation on the European Commission Proposal on Bus and Coach Passenger Rights: Report on Responses
    Consultation on the European Commission proposal on bus and coach passenger rights: report on responses Introduction 1. On 4 March 2009 DfT published a consultation paper seeking views on the 'European Commission proposal on bus and coach passenger rights’ which aims to make bus and coach travel more attractive and accessible to all passengers, including disabled people and people with reduced mobility, and to create a level playing field across Europe, both between operators and different modes of transport. 2. The proposed Regulation sets out provisions to: prevent discrimination on grounds of nationality or place of residence with regard to conditions and prices offered to passengers by operators; establish standard rules on liability in the event of death or injury of passengers and loss of or damage to their luggage and to harmonise these with other modes of transport; prevent discrimination on the grounds of disability or reduced mobility with regard to booking a journey or boarding a vehicle (unless safety regulations or the size of the vehicle makes it impossible); give disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility the right to assistance during their travel free of charge; oblige companies to provide passengers with adequate information, throughout their journey, particularly where services are cancelled or subject to long delays, and with information about their rights; and ensure operators have a complaint handling mechanism, with each Member State designating a body responsible for the enforcement of the proposed Regulation. 3. The consultation paper was published on the DfT website (www.dft.gov.uk) and sent to 95 stakeholders. The consultation ran for six weeks, ending on 14 April, rather than the usual twelve, to ensure that stakeholder views could be taken into account before detailed negotiations on the proposal began in April 2009.

  • P&O Ferries Is More Than 170 Years Old and Offers a Choice of Four Routes Sailing from the UK to the Continent. Its Service
    34069_CSB_072-073_P&O 14/6/07 11:26 am Page 72 P&O Ferries is more than 170 years old and offers a choice of four routes sailing from the UK to the Continent. Its service offering is based on the company ethos of an affordable and hassle free travel experience that is simple, flexible and focused. With no hidden or excess baggage charges, the fleet of cruise style ships offers a viable alternative to European airline and train travel. Market The cross channel market has become increasingly competitive in recent years with customers focused on both price as well as service levels – a trend which looks set to continue. Low cost airlines which offer cut priced fares on flights to the Continent have grown in popularity. In addition, the chunnel and Eurostar services offer another alternative. This is an increasingly important factor with the launch of Eurostar services from Kings Cross St Pancras in late 2007. As a result of this level of choice, customers have become less loyal, shopping around for the best deal. Achievements The Peninsular Steam Navigation Company started regular paddle steamer mail services between England, Spain and Portugal in 1837. After this route expansion saw the company become The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company – P&O. Now, more than 170 years after its services began, P&O Ferries is still sailing strong and receiving recognition for its high standards of service. Named Cruise/Ferry Travel Retailer of the Year at the 2007 Raven Fox Global Travel Retail Awards, the company was voted Best Ferry Operator as well as Favourite Ferry customer service and staff training, winning of services and facilities as well as a Company at the British Travel Awards 2006.
