The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee has published the findings of its inquiry into the completion and sale of the high speed rail link to the Channel Tunnel (HS1). The Committee concludes that while HS1 provides an efficient service, contributing in an important way to British transport infrastructure, there were costly mistakes in the history of the project, and adds that these must not be repeated with HS2. The Committee considers the root of the problem to have been the inaccurate and wildly optimistic forecasts for passenger numbers both when the line was being planned and when the Department restructured its deal with the contractor. The Department failed to take into account the growth of low cost airlines or the competitive response of the ferry companies. The Committee expresses further concern that the Department for Transport does not have a full understanding of the wider economic impact and regeneration benefits of transport infrastructure, including HS1, to inform future investment decisions.

The European Metropolitan Network Institute has published a guide which is designed to help the urban professional get a better insight into how other cities develop and implement policy measures and interventions with regard to urban sustainable mobility. In this guide, cities themselves talk about the measures and interventions they have taken in the field of sustainable urban mobility; what went right, what went wrong, and most importantly, what advice do they have for other cities thinking about similar projects. In the guide, the practices have been grouped into different categories: measures and interventions linked to ‘regulation and pricing’, ‘influencing lifestyle and behaviour’ and ‘urban space’. The guide also contains a section that is devoted to how cities can make best use of technological opportunities. To order a copy send an e-mail to: info@emi-network.eu with your postal address and mentioning the number of copies you would like to order. The price per guide is € 9,95 (incl. delivery costs within Europe).
