Especially if these developments are at woeful levels of density that mean that any public transport provision will be distant, slow, indirect, and catastrophically subsidy heavy. I suspect you're very correct. Removing one reasonably well used park and ride parking space would require Zone 1...

There's a real malaise from top to bottom unfortunately, everything from Delay repay through comms to frontline ops. People are fed up meaning quite a few of the old(er) heads have moved on to pastures new. There's a lot of work required to turn the organisation around culturally which isn't...

Justifying building a station for normal 363 days a year a traffic is difficult enough. Justifying it on the basis of bringing in a couple of thousand (max) away fans each week is an absolute non starter. There's generally already a perfect mass transport solution for away fans, it's called the...

In terms of what you can do with that released capacity? Yes in theory, no in practice, as that hourly freight path is shared with Maritime and wouldn't get you anywhere useful anyway. Interesting, but it's the Freightliner terminal that is proposed to be moved - not the Maritime one. Or does...

Issue is, the floated proposal only removes some of the Intermodal freight from Castlefield (there being two terminals at Trafford Park). Therefore the released capacity is whatever Freightliner move to IFT North, minus any backfilling Maritime are able to do using their terminal and the freed...

I wouldn't put much faith in that article, the new ground on the existing footprint shown in the renders would incur the wrath of locals regarding right to light, etc., just as former south stand redevelopment plans did. Also rebuilding on the existing footprint means no football at Old Trafford...

Interesting point. Only issue is that the redevelopment doesn't appear to release any additional land. It looks like the plan is to build a new stadium next to the existing one which will be retained for Youth/WSL games.

The road served element has been in operation for quite a few years. The rail link, despite passive provision is yet to be delivered (paths on the network again being a sticking point).

The political guff continues to pile up on this one. The whole house of cards relies upon being able to relocate the Freightliner terminal to the "IFT North" site by Newton. Freightliner are apparently convinced that they can find paths up the WCML, others remain significantly less sure. Even...

Social benefits of various types are generally quantified and considered in the economic appraisal section of a green book compliant WebTAG (or WelTAG in this instance) business case.

Bee Network branding will be focused on the stations within GM. There are discussions over some form of sub branding on the Northern fleet such as "in partnership with Bee Network, WYCA, TfLCR", etc., however we won't see a mass re-liverying of trains prior to 2028 (and resultant yellow trains...

Cheers! Will keep an eye out for these breaking cover in the next year or so. Many thanks again, Slip

So they do! Thank you!!! Much appreciated, Slip

Posting here rather than in light rail as I suspect this definitely fits in with international, rather than UK experience! Has anyone any experience of any operators anywhere attempting to fit an accessible toilet within the confines of a tram-train vehicle? I've had a scout about, and note...

"Plan"

In which case First would have submitted a less competitive bid in terms of the revenue line, and we'd possibly be looking at Stagecoach or Keolis/Go ahead liveried 68s going into store instead. Blame the game, not the players.

I did, apologies!

Doubt it. As much as Andy Burnham and TfGM might want to pretend they can somehow make Manchester's rail capacity problems evaporate by painting everything yellow, calling at Ardwick will almost certainly mean dropping a call somewhere else more useful (i.e. Ashburys) (edited to remove double...

A calculation that is only relevant if cyclists are likely to crowd off other users at a ratio of 3 to 1. This seems unlikely given this effective doubling of on-train capacity. The working theory is that provision of suitable facilities for cyclists (as well as being usable by other pax) will...
