How do transport planners or campaigners navigate the challenge of proposing new lines or stations and ensuring fit with the wider network? We present some observations from our previous work in Daventry and Rushden.
This research piece has been adapted from elements of our previous work in Project Development under Sustainable Transport Midlands, as well as our work under the Daventry Transport Development Group.
Our most recent report on Daventry Transport Development Group is available on the Enroute website, and this page also includes a brief history of our work in Daventry.
Under Sustainable Transport Midlands, we were actively developing proposals for potential transport solutions for Daventry, working with local stakeholders including West Northamptonshire Council. Our Project Development team were working on initial assessment of other potential projects to develop, following our work in Daventry. We present some of that work here, discuss the process we took, and draw some learnings and observations from both cases.
