Annex C

IMPACT OF THE CO-ORDINATION POLICY ON NEW BUS ROUTES

AS AT JUNE 1986

Having regard to the general and specific

objectives identified in this paper, and so long as there is

capacity available on the railways the criteria to be

applied in considering new bus routes will be -

Urban Routes

(1)

-

There will be no restriction on routes which

(i) Do not stop within 400m of a railway station;

(2)

or

(ii) Pass or terminate at only one railway station

and otherwise do not stop within 400m of a

railway station.

bus routes which have both termini within rail

corridors or serve centres along rail lines shall

not normally be permitted unless the intervening

route deviates substantially from the railway.

(3)

routes which parallel the railway should do so for

a maximum of four stations and for not more than

half of the bus route length.
