Call for evidence

The Department for Transport is developing a strategy which will set the high-level direction for how transport should be designed, built and operated in England over the next 10 years.

It will set out a single national vision which will put people who use transport and their needs at its heart and empower local leaders to deliver integrated transport solutions that meet the needs of their local communities.

To help us create the strategy, we are now asking people:
* about their experience of transport in England
* what we could do to make it better

We want to hear from:
* people who use any form of transport, including cars, vans, motorbikes, mopeds, trains, underground, metro, trams, buses, minibuses, coaches, bikes, e-bikes, walking or wheeling
* frontline transport workers – people who work in the transport industry
* companies and organisations that operate in the transport sector

Responses to this call for ideas will be considered in the drafting of the Integrated National Transport Strategy.

Wherever possible, especially when redevelopments are taking place, co-locate major railway stations and bus stations/interchanges.

Exeter being a classic example of how NOT to do it. And the people who decided to destroy the rather excellent former Cardiff Bus Station should probably receive a good kicking.

For a pretty damning assessment of this exercise, I suggest listening to, or watching, last week's Green Signals podcast (starting at 30-42 on the You Tube version), also pretty damning of Heidi Alexander's start as Secretary of State, the latter in contrast to the presenters' (Messrs Harris and Bowker) assessment of her predecessor.

I think the best response would be that this questionnaire is totally inadequate, please try again.
