  • Dewsbury Station Plan
    Station Travel Plan - Dewsbury Introduction What is a Station Travel Plan? The Department for Transport defines a Station Travel Plan as: “A strategy for managing the travel generated by your organisation, with the aim of reducing its environmental impact, typically involving support for walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing”. TransPennine Express maintains Station Travel Plans for all 19 stations where they are currently the Station Facility Owner (SFO). Why Develop a Station Travel Plan? Up until March 2020 demand for rail continued to grow, with more and more people choosing to travel by rail each year. It is predicted that, post the COVID-19 pandemic, within the next 30 years demand for rail will more than double. TransPennine Express is at the heart of this growth, with double digit percentage growth in passenger journeys year on year, with a doubling of customer numbers since the franchise was established in 2004. With growth of this magnitude, it is important that alongside investing in new trains, operating more services and enhancing the customer experience, we are considerate of how customers travel to and from the station to access the railway network. Against the landscape of a changing culture towards private transport, with many millennials choosing not to own a car, and instead adopt solutions such as Uber, dockless bike hire and car sharing schemes, a Station Travel Plan allows operators to identify the developments which are required to keep pace with society. It also allows us to identify key areas of change, with the evident shift from internal combustion to electric cars and hybrids, we are able to set out plans for providing the infrastructure to support this shift.

  • In a West Yorkshire Constituency, 1920S – 1970S
    LIBERAL ROOTS: ThE LIBEral ParTY IN A WEST YORKShirE CONSTITUENCY, 1920S – 1970s From 1966 to 1971, as a teenager, Jaime Reynolds lived in Morley, West Yorkshire, now part of south Leeds. During that time he was an active member of the Liberals, who were enjoying something of a renaissance in the Batley & Morley constituency. In 1969 Batley borough council was briefly the only local authority in England and Wales where the Liberals were the largest party. Jaime’s desire was to chart the story of Liberal fortunes in these Yorkshire mill towns and pay tribute to the efforts of the pioneers who led the revival there. Thanks to the Liberal Democrat History Group, a few years ago he reestablished contact with Peter Wrigley. 26 Journal of Liberal History 80 Autumn 2013 LIBERAL ROOTS: ThE LIBEral ParTY IN A WEST YORKShirE CONSTITUENCY, 1920S – 1970s eter was one of those pio- in Morley in 1852.
