Improving access to railway stations in Hampshire

March 2013 Draft Station Travel Plans

Draft Station Travel Plans have been produced for Aldershot, Andover and Basingstoke railway stations. These three draft Station Travel Plans will be considered by the Executive Member for Environment and Transport on 2 April 2013, with a recommendation that they be formally adopted.

Work is also currently underway to develop station travel plans for Fareham, Havant and Totton. Station access surveys were carried out at these stations in January and February 2012, and stakeholder workshops took place in February and March. These three travel plans will be published in draft on this webpage in May or June 2013. Work will start on development of a Winchester railway station travel plan in the autumn of 2013.

The public consultation closed on 8 February 2013. Outcomes and next steps will be published here in April 2013, please check back.

Current Station Travel Plans

Background

Hampshire County Council is working with its partners to improve access to a number of railway stations in Hampshire by the use of sustainable forms of transport. Our partners in this work are South West Trains, Network Rail, District Councils and local bus operators.

With the help of funding from the Department for Transport Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF), the County Council is producing a total of nine station travel plans for a number of stations across Hampshire.

The first two station travel plans produced are for Farnborough (main station) and Fleet - see above. The Farnborough Main Station Travel Plan was formally adopted by the County Council on 24 July 2012. The Station Travel Plan for Fleet was formally adopted on 6 November 2012.

Each plan contains an action plan, which is reviewed annually by the steering group. The steering group comprises representatives from each partner – the County Council, South West Trains, Network Rail, the relevant District Council and local bus operators.
