Epping Forest DistrictQuestionnaire for Essex County CouncilLocal Bus Network Review Consultation August 2016Background

In 2015 Essex County Council (ECC) began a thorough review of its financial support for those local bus services that it pays for across the County. This consultation is the start of the second part of the review and looks at 70 services across Essex where the current contract ends in 2017. We have grouped together services by geographical area of the County so it is easy to see whether your service is part of the review.

Most bus services in Essex are run by commercial operators. The County Council’s role is to decide, where the commercial operators do not provide a service, whether one is needed and if it determines that one is, then to provide it. To help make this decision ECC looks at many factors including what alternatives are available, how many people use them and whether they offer value for money. The Council will not normally continue to support a service where it pays the operator £5.00 or more per passenger carried after all revenue (from fares of all types including the concessionary bus pass scheme) has been taken into account. This is the Cost Per Passenger Journey (CPPJ).

A number of the services in this review were last tendered in 2009/10 and the prices agreed then are therefore relatively low compared to prices today. In addition ECC has not increased many of its fares since 2009. As a result a number of bus services in this review are currently close to or exceeding the £5.00 CPPJ upper support limit and are very likely to exceed it after tender.

Given this position, the County Council is looking at a range of options to reduce the cost of providing the services, while maintaining key transport links. This could mean reduced frequencies or reduced hours or days of operation or changes to routes. ECC also needs to manage the network in light of changes to the commercial bus network, travel demand and changing corporate priorities over time.

This document seeks to explain in more detail the proposed timetable changes to the Epping Forest Network of bus services. We will collate the responses from the survey and summarise them as part of our report. We will not identify individual people, and your name will not be mentioned in any reports that we write for this purpose. You do not have to take part if you do not want to – this is a voluntary activity.

Please complete this survey and return to: Freepost RTKH-XUBZ-CJZS, Essex County Council, Bus Review (Passenger Transport E1), County Hall, CHELMSFORD, CM1 1QH

If you require assistance with this survey or require it in an alternative format, such as large print or audio, please call 03457 430430 or email us at Passenger.Transport@essex.gov.uk to arrange this.

Please complete and return the survey by Wednesday 28 September 2016.

ECC currently funds a number of bus services that serve the Epping Forest District that are included within this review.

Shown below are the proposed changes to each service and the reasons for the proposed change. A list of services is shown on page 21-23.

How to complete this survey

We have listed the timetables and the proposals at the start of the survey (Section 1). Please complete the Questionnaires in Section 2 and 3 and return to the Freepost address on page 1 (the pages are perforated to make it easy to tear off). Your comments may relate to one service only or to several. If you are commenting on several services and your comments differ for each please show which comments relate to each service.

Please noteTransport for London recently carried out a consultation on service 167. It does not form part of this consultation.

Service 46A-G Epping – Ongar

ECC contracted journeys: The whole Monday to Saturday timetables

Proposal: There will be a major timetable change (see proposed timetables), the service may be replaced with a demand responsive service or the service may be withdrawn. Three options are being considered:

Option 1 – To continue to provide timetabled shopper services using a smaller vehicle (see proposed timetables for service SB10, SB11 & SB12 on page 7).

Option 2 – Replace the timetabled service with a demand responsive service (DRT). The demand responsive service would run between 8am and 6pm Monday to Saturday. Other DRT schemes have shown increased patronage because it increases transport opportunities and improved access to healthcare services and shopping in Harlow, Epping and Ongar.

(For more information on Demand Responsive Transport see page 20).

Option 3 – Withdraw the services. These parishes are served by Community Transport.

Reason for change: The number of passengers using these services is very low and the services are likely to exceed our maximum cost per passenger journey.

Service 47/146/147 Ongar/Hatfield Heath/Toot Hill – Harlow/Ongar

ECC contracted journeys: The whole Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday timetables.

Proposal: Three options are being considered:

Option 1 – To continue to provide timetabled shopper services using a smaller vehicle (see proposed timetables for service SB10, SB11 & SB12 on page 7).

Option 2 – Replace the timetabled service with a demand responsive service (DRT). The demand responsive service would run between 8am and 6pm Monday to Saturday. Other DRT schemes have shown increased patronage because it increases transport opportunities and improved access to healthcare services and shopping in Harlow, Epping and Ongar (for more information on Demand Responsive Transport see page 20).

Option 3 – Withdraw the services. These parishes are served by Community Transport.

Reason for change: The number of passengers using these services are very low and the services are exceeding our maximum cost per passenger journey.

Service 211/212 Waltham Cross – Breach Barns/Roundhills

ECC contracted journeys: The whole Monday to Saturday timetables.

Proposal: Two options are being considered:

Option 1 – To provide seven return journeys throughout the day.

Option 2 – To provide four off peak journeys.

Reason for change: This will be operated by a smaller vehicle and to revised timetable, as parking issues on residential roads and road surface issues accessing Breach Barns make use of a larger vehicle impractical. It will serve Amesbury Road (Pick Hill) and continue to serve Breach Barns and Roundhills offering journeys to Waltham Cross (see the revised timetable).

ECC contracted journeys: The whole Monday to Saturday timetable.

Proposal: A revised route and timetable (see proposed timetable).

Reason for change: Service 213 will continue to operate between Epping St Margaret’s Hospital and Waltham Cross bus station. Due to parking issues it will no longer serve Coronation Hill and Pick Hill. It is proposed that Pick Hill (Service 211 page 10) will be served by a smaller vehicle and Coronation Hill will be served by a shopper service (SB10 page 7) twice a week.

Service 381/382 Toot Hill – Harlow

ECC contracted journeys: The whole Monday to Saturday timetable

Proposal: The route will be changed so it no longer serves Coronation Hill, North Weald, Greenstead Green and Toot Hill. All journeys serve stops near Epping Station and Tesco plus the High Street in Epping (see proposed timetable).

Reason for change: There are parking concerns on Coronation Hill which causes poor reliability. All journeys will serve stops near Tescos giving more shopping opportunities. It will no longer serve North Weald, Greenstead Green and Toot Hill due to low passenger use. North Weald have alternate commercial services available. Greenstead Green and Toot Hill will be served by either a once a week shopper service (see page 7) or Demand Responsive Transport. (See page 20).

How does Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) work? Instead of using fixed routes with fixed stops and timetables, DRT customers book journeys with the operator in advance and are picked up from an agreed point – often their own home. That is why DRT is sometimes called a taxi-bus – it’s a cross between a taxi and a bus. The operator collates the journey requests into packages of work which are allocated to the available pool of vehicles, with the aim of maintaining a balance between customer service (i.e. journey length and start time) and vehicle efficiency (to minimise the number of vehicle movements required).

What are the advantages?

• To the customer

. They can book a journey when they require it. They are not constrained to a perhaps limited timetable.

. Often they offer a door to door service.

. They are like a shared taxi service but at a lower price.

. Bus pass holders can travel for free after 0900 Monday to Friday and all day at the weekends.

. Smaller vehicles are used, more suitable for rural roads.

• To the transport provider and taxpayer

. The service is only provided when needed so operating costs can be lower.

. A service can be provided where a traditional bus just wouldn’t be.

What are the disadvantages?

• To the customer

. You need to book a journey in advance and some passengers may find this takes a while to get used to. Example: A taxi-bus operated DRT scheme in the Dengie Peninsula requires only an hours’ notice; Community Transport schemes generally require at least a day’s notice.

. Fares may be higher than the equivalent bus journey, (although concessionary bus passes are valid on ECC contracted DRT services).

. You may not see your regular ‘bus buddies’ on your journey. However, you can book journeys together.

. Younger people and commuters sometimes view the service as more suited to older people, even though it is in practice a local bus service.

• To the transport provider/taxpayer

. The costs of providing the service may not be lower overall than conventional bus services, but it can reach more people. Providing the necessary flexibility may increase costs as vehicles have to be available when a call comes in. If there is low take up, perhaps because people are initially unfamiliar with the change, a service can be dropped before it has had time to reach its potential.
