ABOUT US

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) is the Regional Transport Partnership for the

west of Scotland and is a partnership of twelve councils. SPT was established by the

Transport (Scotland) Act 2005, which created Scotland’s seven Regional Transport

Partnerships and is responsible for the development of the Regional Transport Strategy

(RTS).1 SPT is a statutory participant in Community Planning and a ‘key agency’ in the

Development Planning process.

SPT has a range of operational responsibilities including the management and operation of

the Subway, bus stations and bus infrastructure, supporting socially necessary bus services,

delivering schools transport on behalf of eleven of our partner councils and coordinating the

MyBus demand responsive transport service. SPT also acts as the secretariat for the

Strathclyde Concessionary Travel Scheme on behalf of our partner Councils and the

coordination of ticketing schemes including Subway smartcard and the ZoneCard multi

modal scheme.

Glasgow City Council (GCC), in addition to wider responsibilities, is the local Roads

Authority and Planning Authority for Glasgow. GCC is responsible for the development of

the Local Transport Strategy2 and Local Development Plan3 and is lead partner in the

development of the Glasgow Community Planning Partnership Single Outcome Agreement

and Community Plan.4 GCC has a duty to manage and maintain local public roads,

footways, street lighting and traffic signals and the powers to improve infrastructure as

necessary. GCC also has responsibility for road safety and flood risk management.

SPT, GCC and partners work together to deliver a range of solutions to enhance and

develop our transport network, infrastructure and services; to promote sustainable

development; to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change on the transport

network and to promote accessible travel choices. This includes investment in and delivery

of public transport infrastructure, active travel infrastructure, park and ride and strategic

roads projects.

1. Foreword

This Transport Outcomes Report (TOR), produced annually by SPT in partnership with each

council in the west of Scotland, outlines the impact of transport improvements in each area to

achieve more sustainable, healthy, inclusive and resilient communities across the SPT area.

SPT continues to focus on achieving the four strategic outcomes from the Regional

Transport Strategy – Attractive, Seamless, Reliable Travel; Improved Connectivity; Access

for All; and Reduced Emissions – which underpin the successful delivery of key social,

economic, environmental and health outcomes at national, regional and local levels.

This TOR outlines SPT’s investments, projects and services for the past year and current

year and sets out the role of transport in achieving improved outcomes for local residents

and business in Glasgow, with the aim of supporting the achievement of the Glasgow

Community Planning Partnership’s vision for Glasgow to be a world class city, with thriving

and resilient communities where everyone can flourish and benefit from the city’s success.

SPT will continue to deliver for Glasgow residents and business through programmes such

as Subway Modernisation, and work with GCC and partners on key projects and initiatives

including the Strathclyde Bus Investment Programme as part of the Glasgow City Region

City Deal, Fastlink, Smart and Integrated Ticketing and tackling air quality issues and

improving accessibility for all residents and visitors.

2. Working in partnership with Glasgow

The 2017/18 Transport Outcomes Report follows the same structure as last year’s report,

with the principal sections based on the four strategic outcomes and the associated work

streams, which fall from the Regional Transport Strategy Delivery Plan 2014-2017.5 These

are set out in Figure 2.1 below. This year’s report provides an update on the work streams,

whilst the 2014/15 TOR and the Delivery Plan provide additional background information on

the work streams. Services, projects, investments and initiatives that benefit Glasgow

residents are detailed under each work stream within the main body of the report (sections 6

– 9).

3. Improving outcomes for Glasgow residents

SPT is a statutory participant in Community Planning and works in partnership with Glasgow

City Council (GCC) and other partners across a range of themes including health, education,

accessibility, social inclusion, equalities and community safety. Our four strategic outcomes

are closely linked to national community planning policy priorities including independence for

older people, improving the lives of young people, economic growth, stronger communities,

more employment and reducing health inequalities.

Transport has an important role in achieving the aims of the Glasgow Community Planning

Partnership Single Outcome Agreement (SOA) 2013 and is a key priority in the emerging

Glasgow Community Plan. Figure 3.1 shows the relationship between the work streams and

the existing SOA local priorities, with more detail set out below.

In support of Youth Employment - A safe, affordable and comprehensive transport network

improves access to the education, healthcare, training and safe leisure opportunities that are

essential for every young person to thrive.

Early and comprehensive integration of development and transport planning increases the

number of job opportunities that are realistically accessible by young people. Well-planned

walking and cycling infrastructure can improve safe access to jobs and reduce the cost of

travelling to work.

High-quality, modern transport infrastructure and efficient transport networks support

physical regeneration efforts and encourages private investment and job growth by reducing

the cost of transport and congestion for business.

In support of Vulnerable People – Safe, accessible, affordable transport supports

independent living by improving access to services and facilities and reduces isolation by

making it easier to visit family and friends and attend social events.

Improving road safety, reducing congestion on local roads and reducing emissions from

transport reduces the negative impacts on health that cars and other transport may have on

vulnerable communities.

Sustainable development and land use patterns improves local access to goods and

services, reduces car dependency, reduces community isolation and severance issues and

reduces disparities between households that have access to a car and those that do not.

Improving conditions for active travel encourages healthy, active lifestyles and reduces the

cost of travel.

6. Achieving ‘Attractive Seamless Reliable Travel’

6.1 Bus Policy

SPT, working together with Transport Scotland, local bus operators and other members of

the Bus Stakeholder Group, continues to progress its ’10 Point Plan’ of proposed changes to

legislation, regulations and powers to deliver a better offering for bus passengers and a more

active return for the considerable public sector investment in the bus market.

In 2016, SPT invited bus operators, local authorities and other partners to join a Strathclyde

Bus Alliance (SBA), a new partnership with the purpose of changing the long term trends in

bus patronage from a declining trend to year on year growth by 2020. The SBA is promoting

the establishment of powers to implement enhanced SQPs to deliver a more integrated bus

network with more reliable and attractive services to improve conditions for existing

passengers and attract more passengers.

In 2017/18, SPT will continue dialogue with bus operators, local authorities, Transport

Scotland and other partners to advance the SBA in preparation for the forthcoming Transport

Bill expected during the current Scottish Parliament.

6.2 Statutory Quality Partnerships & Bus Infrastructure

In 2016/17, SPT service compliance inspectors identified 33 breaches of traffic regulations

across 31 days of local service monitoring in Glasgow. Also, SPT inspectors made 4,558

vehicle checks and made 1 report to the Traffic Commissioner across 137 days of monitoring

within the Glasgow sQP. These breaches include instances of engine idling, illegal parking

and services not operating as registered. Inspectors will continue to undertake local

monitoring throughout 2017/18.

SPT bus station staff managed 500,000 departures at Buchanan Bus Station, 150,000

departures at East Kilbride Station, 55,000 departures at Hamilton Bus Station and 25,000

departures at Greenock Bus Station for bus services operating within Glasgow during

2016/17.

In 2016/17, SPT maintained 2,975 bus stops and 830 shelters under agency agreement and

maintained 3,179 SPT-owned, pole-mounted information cases in Glasgow. SPT delivered 7

new bus stops, 3 shelters, 6 bus stop pole upgrades and 178 bus stop graphics upgrades in

2016/17 with £16,000 investment from the SPT capital programme.


10

In 2016/17, GCC delivered a range of bus infrastructure improvements across Glasgow with

£835,000 investment from the SPT capital programme. Works included improved passenger

facilities on key bus routes and sustainable transport corridors in Knightswood, Maryhill,

Royston and Balornock, and Springburn/Wallacewell; detailed works for the redesign of

Pollok Roundabout / Peat Rd junction at Silverburn; improved pedestrian crossing and

shelters on Pollokshaws Road and accessibility improvements at bus stops across the city

including on bus routes to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. GCC and SPT investigated

options for a new bus station serving routes on the south of the city centre and progressed

the renewal of Real Time Passenger Information system for Glasgow. SPT completed the

£7 million refurbishment of Govan Interchange.

In 2017/18, GCC will seek to deliver a range of improvements including improvements to

existing bus termini facilities and investigation of options for a potential new terminus at

Penilee, bus stop upgrades and installation of BIAS/SCOOT in Drumchapel/Knightswood,

bus stop improvements and high access kerbs in Maryhill/Summerston and targeted delivery

of high access kerbs across the city to improve access to public transport. Additionally, GCC

will undertake reviews of key corridors through Ruchill-Maryhill and Pollokshaws and develop

proposals for junction improvements at Battlefield Rest to provide bus priority and improved

walking and cycling infrastructure. SPT is providing up to £705,000 in grants for these

projects.

Additionally, in 2017/18, GCC will seek to complete detailed design for a new bus

interchange facility at Stirling Road serving Glasgow Royal Infirmary and GCC and SPT will

undertake a feasibility study of a potential new bus station for the south of the city centre.

SPT will continue to work with GCC and other partners to deliver the redevelopment of

Partick Bus Station, to monitor the Glasgow sQP and to work with bus operators to deliver

Real Time Information.

6.3 Subway

In 2016/17, £48 million was invested in the Subway to continue to deliver a safe and reliable

service for passengers, whilst progressing the overall Subway modernisation programme.

The station improvements programme continued with completion of works at Govan,

Buchanan Street and Cessnock stations and completion of all major structural and functional

upgrades at Kelvinbridge station. Major infrastructure projects progressing or completing in

2016/17 include the tunnel lining improvements, ramps and turnouts renewal and re-railing

works. First stage designs for the new rolling stock and control systems were delivered and

detailed design for the new vehicles was substantially completed in the past year.

11


In 2017/18, the modernisation works for Shields Road and Bridge Street stations are

programmed to complete and the design phase for the final four station refurbishments will

be delivered; the tunnel lining improvements project is programmed to complete and re-

railing activities will continue; and site installation and construction of the new Operational

Control Centre and the temporary Manufacturing Depot are scheduled to commence in early

2018.

6.4 Smart and Integrated Ticketing

SPT continues to promote ZoneCard integrated ticketing products and provides

administrative and secretarial support to the ZoneCard Forum. Glasgow residents bought an

estimated 43,000 ZoneCards and made around 2,400,000 trips using a ZoneCard in 2016/17

– saving Glasgow residents an estimated £1,600,000. SPT also improved access to

integrated ticketing by launching an improved online sales portal for ZoneCard ticket

renewals and multi-modal Daytripper ticket sales in 2016/17.

SPT continues to work towards the vision of one card multi-modal, multi-operator travel

across the region. In 2016/17, interoperable smartcard ticketing was delivered across

ScotRail and Subway services. SPT also launched online registration and ticket sales for

Subway smartcard passengers. Further, Nevis Technologies, SPT’s joint venture with

Rambus, provided back office systems for McGill’s Buses smartcard including online

registration and ticket sales.

7. Achieving ‘Improved Connectivity’

7.1 Fastlink

Across 2016/17 - 2017/18, GCC and SPT are delivering the second phase of the Fastlink

project to upgrade key bus routes through the city centre to improve journey times and

reliability, to improve road safety for vulnerable road users, and to reduce emissions and to

make further improvements on the core route. The package of works includes widening and

improving footways on Union Street and Midland St; rationalising bus stops; installing high

quality bus passenger shelters and Real Time Information; providing high access kerbs and

other accessibility improvements; and improving junctions at Union St / Argyle St, Jamaica St

/ Midland St and Oswald St / Midland St. SPT, GCC and other partners will continue to work

together to progress options for future extensions to Fastlink.

7.2 Strategic Rail Enhancements SPT, GCC, ScotRail and Network Rail continue to work with the adjacent site developer

towards the delivery of a new rail station and park and ride facility at Robroyston. Glasgow

City Council has now developed a funding package, including, a contribution from SPT, that

will enable final design and construction of the station and car parks to be progressed. The

package takes into consideration agreement with the developer on the mechanism and

funding to deliver the necessary roads infrastructure to service the station. Discussions with

industry partners have resulted in ScotRail taking the lead role in the delivery of the final

design and construction. It is hoped that the new station may be opened by December 2019.

SPT continued to work closely with Transport Scotland, Network Rail, ScotRail and Glasgow

City Council to ensure the redevelopment of Queen Street station results in improved

integration of all modes and that disruption to the passenger is minimised throughout the

works. SPT, through the stakeholder group, will work with lead partner GCC on the

redevelopment of High Street station as part of the wider redevelopment of the Collegelands

area and Collegelands Calton Barras Glasgow City Region City Deal project.

SPT, through the West of Scotland Rail Forum and other engagement activities, will continue

to co-ordinate and lead on regional input to the ScotRail franchise including service and

timetable changes, fares and ticketing; investment in rail infrastructure; network planning and

integration; and new station development.

7.3 Roads and Freight In 2016/17, GCC investigated proposals to reduce congestion, improve journey time

reliability and improve road safety at Peat Road roundabout in Pollok near Silverburn

Shopping Centre. The identified option is a fully redesigned signal-controlled junction, which

will improve controls over traffic flows as well as provide improved facilities for pedestrians

and cyclists and more bus priority through creation of bus lanes on Barrhead Road and Peat

Road. SPT is providing £350,000 in funding in 2017/18 towards detailed design and

preliminary works.

In 2016/17, SPT, with partners and industry stakeholders, delivered a regional freight

strategy, building on work undertaken previously for Ayrshire. The strategy identifies key

issues and opportunities and sets objectives for improved air quality, increased safety,

intermodal freight movements, enhance quality of life, economic competitiveness and

improved communication between public and private sector stakeholders. The freight

strategy findings will feed into the development of the regional transport strategy.

7.4 Integrating Transport and Land Use Planning In 2016/17, SPT provided input on a number of development proposals, including the

Glasgow University Masterplan, and the continued emerging proposals for the Sighthill

Transformational Regeneration Area and Glasgow Queen Street Station. We have engaged

with the Council in relation to the Sauchiehall Street Avenues project and the City Centre

District Strategies, in addition to a range of draft supplementary guidance documents which


14

form part of the City Development Plan. SPT continues to promote the role of public

transport within the creation of high quality places.

SPT will continue to work with GCC and other key stakeholders to promote the sustainability

and accessibility of the city centre, including examining options to address air quality

concerns. We will continue to work with all relevant organisations to reinforce the

importance of transport and land use planning integration and the promotion of sustainable

transport solutions in supporting the delivery of successful places. SPT will also continue to

work will all partners in the assessment of the transport impacts of Glasgow City Region City

Deal projects through participation in the Transport Appraisal Group.

passengers in total. SPT MyBus services in Glasgow carried 102,000 passengers. SPT

provided £215,000 in grants to 3 community transport operators to provide community

transport services across Glasgow. SPT will continue to provide and support socially

necessary services in Glasgow in 2017/18.

In 2016/17, SPT managed 104 school bus contracts on behalf of Glasgow City Council for

services that transported 2,900 children to school every school day. SPT compliance

inspectors made 63 inspections on site at schools, SPT vehicle examiners inspected 130

vehicles operating on school contracts and SPT processed 284 Disclosure Scotland

clearance applications for potential drivers on school contracts.

8.2 Access to Healthcare In 2016/17, GCC delivered improved bus passenger facilities and accessibility improvements

on key routes to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital on the south side of the City. SPT

supported local bus services that provided direct access to Queen Elizabeth University

Hospital, Gartnavel, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Stobhill and Victoria Infimary, provided MyBus

services for healthcare appointments and supported community transport services that

provided transport for healthcare appointments and hospital visiting.

SPT continued to work with the NHS and Traveline Scotland to ensure NHS staff and

hospital patients and visitors have access to up to date, high quality journey planning and

travel information. This includes funding a dedicated ‘travel to hospitals’ section on the

Traveline Scotland website and app, providing local bus information and maps for transport

hubs at hospitals including Arrivals Square at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

8.3 Equal Access

In 2016/17, SPT maintained 13 Travel Points at hospitals, college and university campuses

and other sites to provide public transport timetables and journey planning information in

easily accessible locations.

In 2016/17, GCC delivered high access kerbs and further accessibility improvements at bus

stops with support from the SPT capital programme. This investment in more accessible

infrastructure will continue in 2017/18.

9. Achieving ‘Reduced Emissions’

9.1 Park and Ride ScotRail, Glasgow City Council, SPT and the Developer continue to work towards the

delivery of a new rail station and park and ride facility at Robroyston. Robroyston was

identified through earlier studies as an appropriate site for strategic park and ride due to its

proximity to the M80 and development proposals within the area. Usage of park and ride

facilities located at Subway stations totalled 255,000 in 2016/17.

9.2 Cycling

In 2016/17, GCC continued to deliver the Victoria Road section of the South City Way. The

project includes segregated cycle lanes, enhanced public transport facilities, improved

parking and loading arrangements and new zebra crossings and seeks to prioritise walking,

cycling and public transport movements through the corridor. The project is predominantly

funded by the Council (£3.25 million) and Sustrans Community Links Plus (£3.25 million),

with SPT providing £150,000 to the Council in 2016/17 towards design and £200,000 in

2017/18 towards public transport infrastructure improvements.

9.3 Travel Behaviour Change

SPT will continue to support interventions that seek to change behaviour towards more

sustainable travel including supporting JourneyShare, the regional car-sharing scheme,

which currently has 6,000 active members. Additionally, the number of people walking or

cycling to/from Glasgow City Centre continues to grow, with an increase of 6% and 7%,

respectively, between 2015 and 2016.
