Other possible developments envisaged by
the Strategy include the re-opening of the Radstock to Frome
line and Saltford station. In addition the provision of a new
station on the western edge of Bath may be feasible in the
future depending on the precise size and configuration of the
transport interchange proposed at depending, inter
alia, on the outcome of investigations into expanded park and
ride provision in the Newbridge area
to serve the Western Riverside regeneration area and therefore
no site for this station is shown on the Proposals Map. The
provision of a new station on the eastern edge of Bath was
rejected by the rail studies referred to above but the Council
has supported the proposed re-opening of Corsham
station in North Wiltshire and possibility of providing a
new station in the Bathampton/Bathford area will be
re-examined in the context of the Bristol/Bath to South Coast
and Greater Bristol Strategic Transport Studies which,
it is hoped, will soon increase rail commuting to Bath from
Wiltshire. |

The Strategy is less specific about rail
freight with no infrastructure proposals for Bath and North
East Somerset apart from the retention of the railhead
facility at Westmoreland Station Road, Bath, used for
transportation of waste. There may be scope to make greater
use of this facility and its use for rail freight is
safeguarded in policy T.11 T.10.
Opportunities for some form of rail freight facility may arise
in association with the reopening of the Radstock to Frome
railway. |

The Joint Rail Strategy has been submitted
to the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) in the hope that
its proposals will be included in the forthcoming
'Wessex' rail franchise. Its implementation future
rail franchises. It has also informed the current Bristol/Bath
to South Coast Transport Study and it will hopefully provide
an important input for the Greater Bristol Strategic Transport
Study. Implementation, which will be assisted by the
establishment by the SRA of a Bristol and Bath Rail Management
Unit could lead to a 5% per annum increase in rail use on
local passenger services up to 2006 and a 4% modal share of
the journey to work in B&NES Bath
& North East Somerset (1.9% in 1991 and 2.4% in
2001). Both Local Authorities and, when appropriate,
developers will be expected to contribute financially towards
the implementation of the strategy. |

A number of disused railway lines cross the
area. Some are still very identifiable and still in use as
footpaths or cycleways such as the section of the former
Midland Railway which provides part of the Bristol/Bath
Railway path between Saltford and Newbridge. Others like the
Somerset and Dorset line between Midford and Radstock and the
former Great Western line between Radstock and Whitchurch have
seen some development for other uses since closure. There are
proposals to re-open the best preserved line, that between
Radstock and Frome as a self contained heritage
railway and/or as an extension to in conjunction
with part of the national cycle network. The Avon
Valley Railway has recently been extended a short way into the
District at Saltford and the company ultimately hopes to reach
Bath, alongside National Cycle Route 4. Detailed studies
would be needed to determine the feasibility of using any of
the other former railway lines to provide public transport,
but the major part of these are safeguarded to provide
sections of the Strategic Cycling Network (Policy T.7) and/or
recreation routes (Policy SR.9) sections of the
following lines are designated as Sustainable Transport Routes
in accordance with Structure Plan Policy 53:
(i) Former GWR – Bristol and North
Somerset line between Whitchurch and Radstock, and Camerton
Branch from Hallatrow to Limpely Stoke;
(ii) Former Midland Railway line between
Saltford and Bath (Green Park);
(iii) Former Somerset and Dorset Railway
line between Bath (Green Park) and Midsomer Norton. |

In addition to the Radstock – Frome and
Avon Valley Railway schemes, there are proposals to use part
of (ii) above to provide some form of rapid transit to link a
transport interchange at Newbridge with the Western Riverside
area and the City Centre (see paras D6.1 and D6.3 below), but
otherwise the only envisaged use of these safeguarded lines
during the Plan period is as cyclepaths or footpaths. |
