Significant Documents

When I wrote Increased Frequencies On The East London Line, I relied on this document from Transport for London (TfL) entitled London Overground and Docklands Light Railway Growth.

The document was significant because of its openness and the way it laid out how the London Overground and the Docklands Light Railway will cope with growth.

I think the document also shows how a properly planned public transport project attracts users, that are a precursor to the growth.

After all, in the last few months, I’ve seen the extension of the Nottingham Express Transit and the opening of the Borders Railway, neither of which have attracted substantial amounts of negative comment.

So perhaps we’re now getting rather good at planning these types of projects.

Over the last few months, I’ve read some significant documents, that look to the future.

• Transport for London’s London Infrastructure Plan for 2050
• Liverpool City Region Long Term Rail Strategy
• Greater Manchester Rail Policy

All are quality documents and are superb starting points for the development of railways in their area.
