TransWilts CRP response to GW Consultation

« on: June 17, 2014, 08:53:09 »

We have been busy preparing a complete answer to the DfT^» 's consultation, with the first version (0.1) having been through review by key team members over the last few days. There shouldn't be any big surprises in there - much has been discussed at hosts of meeting, and it's all in line with feedbacks on the ground too. The opportunity has been taken to write something of a line plan too.

Here is version 0.2

http://atrebatia.info/dft_resp_02.pdf

For those of you who read 0.1, changes are in the following areas:
1. Mention of CRP^▸ 's formation to give longer history rather than start from ACoRP^▸ membership
2. Potential Link to Gloucester - mention added
3. Sunday afternoon doesn't need two different trains - clarified
4. First bus fares changes - added qualification to welcome
5. Quite a lot of spell checking and formatting
6. Addition of contact information

Any [further] inputs - please follow up by THURSDAY of this week so that we can finally sign off 1.0 over the weekend!

Here are the key comments as bullet points:
* We welcome this opportunity to comment
* We request that the current operating service level and pattern be set as a minimum for the forthcoming franchise period.
* Please write the current service in as the base case for the franchise, and not as a costed option beyond 2016.
* Please write the TransWilts Community Rail Partnership into the next franchise
* Please plan to take full advantage of service and efficiency improvements that can build forward the whole (Swindon to Salisbury) TransWilts
* Interchanges at Westbury from Swindon, Chippenham and Melksham to Taunton and beyond should receive particular positive attention.
