Counties radio very good afternoon will live on board a bus the bus is called. We're at the interchange it's the bit between the station and the shopping mall and we hit the 5th anniversary of the guided busway it is run by full service is run by 3 different companies and it's 5 years on delivering what it sets out to many will say yes it is but you might be different you can text. Your text. Press the stop sign and you can hear the bell with the engine switched off doesn't what the trust made. A lot of people on Twitter look. Pretty much after the bust myself. You can tweet the program talked about time. Even though we're doing the program. People are trying to get on board the bus and give us money. Just. To 6 o'clock and if you write. A joint project between Council and center at the church council. Busway links the towns of people in the different council areas will do now. Is. David McVicker who lives a very good afternoon to you. What's your view. On the success of the past life 5 years on. When the project was 1st mooted I think many many people had strange ideas as to whether it would be successful not. The why it was sold to the council and to the general public I think probably could have been improved and we were all very skeptical as to how it would turn out I think in each turned out somewhat different than many people thought he would do we were looking as a bus route and it wouldn't take enough money would it succeed commercially in that respect however it seems to type in a slightly different turn it's taken the churn whereby people who are now bringing businesses into the local area a very very pleased to say the busway because he's transporting the workforce to varying air especially in Dunstable and Woodside a site in areas like that where you can get the labor from Luton into Dunstable very quickly I'm taking Amazon for instance they've got 800 people working there and I suspect most of them live in illusion so in that respect economic regeneration it's been a huge success you're right it wasn't that while the way it's turned out I think been mauled by accident and design do you think I think it's 1000000000 by food churches accident to be perfectly honest I mean if we were looking at making a profit originally from passenger numbers I don't think it was going to work but as it happens and I'm not even sure what the passionate you know how the passenger numbers stack up in terms of profit loss but from an economic regeneration point of view it's pretty well I've always been very upfront that I was one of those people when the project was binutils what do we need base what we need to spend 95000000 pounds which is the cost in this crowded bus why you know when the busway 1st launch of the B. Reporters standing a bridge is counting the number of passengers on board a bus which weren't very many efforts that initial days but since I mean looking around just today for example the volume of traffic of people on board these. It's got to extraordinary Absolutely and I was equally skeptical so I'm with you. That quite a large proportion of this runs through my constituency of nude in Dunstable you know well I had to protect my. Situations and their views on emotions and were very much anti But let's change considerably No I do remember when the busway 1st opened of course the people who were complaining about the noise of the bus came around the back of their houses and people some people complain the bus was somehow disintegrating their property but these are things sometimes can happen when that significant infrastructure project develops but in 5 years on David Easter since the past Dunstable has benefited more from base than Luton has I think probably has some way we look from the Dunstable viewpoint that it would be decamping people from Dunstable into Luton to show up and therefore we would be the loses in fact I think that does happen to a large extent people do come into Luton to shop on the bus why but in reverse it's a huge number of people being shipped from Luton into Dunstable either for the educational aspects Dunstable college you know a lot of students coming on the bus and also the work force that feeds the large factories and distribution Jeffords on the wood saga site will have internalized the typical passenger of the bus Why of course they are then you can because that way here interchange got the the main railway station behind it behind you of course expect to see an increased flow of passengers from at 430 almost But that gives it as a really busy line to them from the capital but you've got students I've seen students coming here some are getting off the train and I'm thinking well maybe heading towards university others are getting on the bus heading towards college and it's there are people coming in from that's what really makes me proud Absolutely and in addition to those people that you've mentioned already when you consider us why I you know goes right up to Luton Airport the people who are going . On holiday from certainly the Dunstable area when you can hop on the bus in Dunstable go with a way through to to Luton Airport which I do use none of this taxi business drop off here there everywhere it's a straight through survey Senate really is good so is it fair to say for most people the busway 5 years on is something of a welcome addition to the local communities absolutely So if you check my own personal instance where I live in the center of Dunstable on Monday I left my house in a narrow 5 minutes like I was standing illustration in some Pancras now how bad is that for a commute into London from you know what it is suburban area by sickly it is good and we are noticing Dunstable now is becoming somewhat of a commuter area and that is all down to the bus why because you can get from Dunstable into here and Luton station and Luton station interested me once was very quickly popular possibly white people in making positive suggesting maybe we want to bit of an additional bit of this as well it does seem to work but the business element for Dunstable sort of the industry states in Dunstable if you because we buy them that's what's already stations you know but if you know what I'm coming into work in the morning or leave in the evening you see all these people getting off the bus headed towards the warehouse as the sort of the super drug warehouse. In the volume of traffic there again is really substantial. Absolutely own said earlier I think that I'm. On their own employ 100 people and most of those are traveling from somewhere they're not residents in Dunstable So yeah great stuff like you know like I really know having been right skeptically on I think how rich I can understand this most of us were and know it Dr Who full of steak and the the friendship between Luton Dunstable hasn't always been of bestial we say and over an issue like this it was very very emotive because he started off in the county council was still in existence so there was a 3rd element within a list but now it's down and it's great. Number of people. We were skeptical we didn't think it would work. Because a passenger for whatever use you may have of the busway you may not be aware of for example 2 different little Florida Keys different bus operators but it works is a relation here for both the borough council and Central have a cheer for more projects if possible if it serves the community we've always been in that scenario that if we could work with. We would if you. For instance is taken away from the bus well into the the Dunstable know them by Polish The next part of the Luton northern bypass for want of a better word another again will be a joint collaboration between Luton and Dunstable and that will help if the traffic away again from town centers there are things that can be done so off the known Conservative councillor in 3rd trip should David McVicker We're live.

When it's moving on the M 25 between junction 20 and junction 23. Also can very heavy on the A one and that's northbound around junction 6. I can see a bit of a queue building up. And moving on the A 41. Is looking having only a 5 as one in both directions. And finally on the trains there are delays of up to 45 minutes. Yet. 20 minutes past 4 Good afternoon B.B.C. 3 Counties radio light were bus for genuinely on a bus it's called the door and it's a low carbon bus I wish I could prove it present the stop button but it's new engines turned off so it doesn't exist we've been trying to get the engine started but very cleverly a river of hidden the key because there are paths people coming to the translation trying to board the bus with 5 pound notes in their hand after 6 o'clock 3 months but we may just come in did this bus take a few people for a joyride on the streets of Luton double what could possibly carry a rug you can take the pride of 138 double for a start your text 3 C R But it is really really busy Look if you don't know this part of the 3 counties the interchange is the that the new terminal that between the mainline railway station Luton mainline railway station and the path that takes you into the mouse shopping center is between where right between the train station and the because the shop which is all mine right you can tweet the program talk and you can email Roberta operating. Now any B.B.C. Took K. Now one of those who oppose the spending of 90000000 pounds on the busway in the early years of the millennium was the Liberal Democrat councillor they had Frank's David's bill to our Political Report and he homes that at one point the plans were scrapped when broken soul was hung where no one party was you know overall control we always thought going by back to when we took over the council in 2003 we thought that 90000000 pounds could probably be better spent. So we cancelled haven't started construction or anything like that but the certain amount of money had been spent on planning and. What happened. A man came from the ministry and threatened us with all kinds of dire consequences if we didn't reinstate it we weren't going to get new schools that had been planned we weren't going to get a 1000000 pounds pending for war down Paul we weren't going to get our jewel carriage way from the M one to the airport all of this was going to be cancelled by the government unless be reinstated the busway son not wishing to see our school pupils educated in more and more dilapidated buildings we reinstated it we still think 90000000000 pounds could probably have been better spent but it's been spent the bus why is there now the only issue I guess now is the best part of half a 1000000 pounds or so that has to be spent every year in maintaining and cleaning it is it over yourself you know people that there are more of a think of it I have used it. I don't use bus services locally very often because I live close enough to the town center to be honest mostly I walk yeah it's a faster way of getting from Dunstable to Luton and vice versa but in the end you look at the number of passes the number of vehicles that use it and frankly I can see the absence of such a small number of buses from the rest of the road network is actually making much difference to congestion around the town and from what you're telling me before we started his interview it's not quite gone as far as it should have gone into Luton itself when the Labor Party took back control of the council in 2007 they started chopping lumps off it because they were in danger of a massively overspending so now stops it came to the road it was originally intended to gold. Way to the airport so it's probably about 2 miles shorter than it was intended to be so 5 years on it sounds like I'm getting the vibe that maybe you don't think it's necessarily been as good for Luton as it possibly could have been . Well it already it rather depends on the how you measure it doesn't it if you if you'll measuring it by how long it takes to get from Luton to Dunstable or Dunstable to Luton by bus yes a success because it's a lot faster no question about that if you're asking Has it made a major contribution to reducing congestion on the roads in Luton No I don't think that's a measure toll that I would call a success. Do you think with what's going on with the airport we could say still some scope to elongate the road back over those missing to you Miles. Well that's interesting isn't it because of course the council's company is spending a very large sum of money now on a mass passenger transit system from the airport railway station up to the terminal so I guess the fastest way to get from Dunstable to Luton airport these days by public transport will be to get a bus to the station and then the mass transit system up to the to the terminal. But. Councillor David Franks you can tell there's not a big fan of the garbage bus or even 5 years on he was talking to a political reporter and he homes later on as often we'll talk to talk to bike and we'll be talking to the shadow chancellor John McDonnell who's going to join me live from the Labor Party Conference Good afternoon we are live today the Luton in the trench to mark the 5th anniversary of the bus wipe and we've been hearing about the busway but it's not just about buses here the way alongside the bus ways used for walking and cycling I mean speaking to you know who's the active travel office up for both of Bourke ounces I work for charity and we promote walking cycling in schools saying we work in 21 schools in Bedford to be encouraging the children to work cycle to school and we're also working at places like station to encourage people to train to come to that but we've seen this huge resurgence in cycling it's a national sport how is it working in bed how much I mean is it really on the up. I would say yes they Few look at the railway station in bed the cycle parking there has increased hugely if the past 5 years I've been working at council and you're saying that the cycle racks are being full almost every day so yeah I would definitely say that's most likely. A typical cyclist in bed then we had to wear the busway today but substrata you're from the bed for division of course is there to. Because you look at Randall different parts there are so many different variations Yeah there is and that makes my job a little bit more tricky because you talk to a different types of people I would say that we work at the railway station quite a lot and so mostly you've got the London commuters going to the railway station so they want to get to and from the station as quickly as possible without going to muster up with us Susan stuff you know many many people manage to do it so it must be an achievable thing and we've also got lots of other different cyclists and that we go to and talk to lots of families we do from events of that to take off people get to peddle that to make a smoothie and say look out for us and yeah right there yes huge range of cyclists but I think the day they're trying and they're getting better and the kind of safety concerns because Bedford is a very it's the traffic and there's always been peak times absolutely horrible and as a cyclist is always in the back of your mind you're always worried about what the what you're doing what the car behind you is doing yeah that is one thing that people often talk to us about we provide. Constant cycle lessons for 5 pounds so if you want to email Bedford at Sustrans to all dot U.K. We can do provide a 5 pound cycle lessons to give you more confidence when cycling on the road that helps you understand how to position yourself safe place to the fact car doesn't necessarily overtake you if you don't feel it's safe for them to do so. Your victim speaking to me a little earlier really interesting here because we've got the railway station just to my left really busy main land rover station this bus into change and then of course you've got a plane fly you know but also a huge number of bike people cycling to the station and commuting to presume the capital but. It was here really only does he become the council pay him. To come here one day a week to service just check other people's bikes and we'll hear what he has and those who were here would before he became a doctor by his amazing story to come. 3 Counties radio.

You know on it fast because it was going to destroy a cot of wildlife habitat along their old right away rebate and which was the county rod life site and bet when we had going do you know it's have mitigation way to improve and there is around that we so for help count we file and got on board to thaw say so they'll driver long to shut down in 1983 not there are a lot of activity little quell sort of walt life was there before and well and a lot of swaps in trees had to growing up on their disused lawing an but i've those hello civ across the areas it's well with flowers wallflowers butterflies be thought kind of thing i mean author in the ballast of the bus why of the right away sorry they was lots a sleigh when's hibernating and i'm findings show terry in the us say it was when i was able to resistance sport because there was a lot of resistance you have voting the bust why it in them one of the she's always comes up is the wildlife habitat but somehow the ever thought the so i do Persevered and delivered it 5 years on what is there in terms of wildlife and the habit the sort of the local Habitat Yeah well it's part of the mitigation for the prostrate being what we were given 3 areas of land adjacent to our place down. And they were just 3 fields and we've now developed phase and with funding from the busway we've improved life so we've got some really flower rich Meadows that went there before and and one area where they moved actually some plants from the past from the old railway line where the buffer is being built so they move the kids and things like kidney batched that. Fly feet on and also some of the railway ballast with a sleigh when seen and that's doing really well now and acting as a seed bed for seeding other areas with with you please the way the work was done in terms of protecting your your particular sense about the wildlife Yes and it was concerns initially but we worked with the ecologist that we're working with you to buy account so and it's all worked out well in the end. OK there are people listening right now thing or one of the important protect things like bits of shrubbery and for example when you're building not just this infrastructure project of yours ANY come in for such a project. Disrupted Yeah that's right so that's always a problem with any development work is going to be life it's going to get to stay after displaced and often that can be very rare species this movie butterflies one of the rarest butterflies in the country and that was living along the old railway line so it's really important that we have to preserve its habitat and move its plant food plant so that it could continue to grow it as they want to get a view about the busway whether it's benefited from school and how to reach a small that has Luton about whether there are expansion possibilities and the numbers will have their own view for people to use the bus route for the 1st time for example might come off the train station they were. How to reach the on the bus and this route this guided bus route takes them on a very different route the one that they would imagine if you've grown up in the air if you live in the area then you might recognize it from the road structure but this route takes them a very different route around the roundabout of the houses but it does if you're careful open up a whole new scenery for you because you see things you haven't seen before that's correct so if they say lots of waft Lasseter along the route as well so yes you go around the back you go along the edge of the town and almost the major the countryside right next to a place Dan thanks for is there in fact I was someone earlier on and he mentioned the slow ones for example how well they're doing why it's important to even mention slow again they want to they speed species that are not very common and they're quite low Kleis they can't spread very far they're often disturbed by building where because they tend to hype in a. Shelter in rubble and that kind of place say. Yes it's just really important that we do what we can to preserve them when we can do people appreciate it I hope so. I certainly people appreciate going on the countryside getting fresh air whether they really appreciate the kind of minute details that don't you're very lucky to see one even some of the butterflies you very lucky to see this a rare say at the Wildlife Trust we do what we can to raise awareness and events a flea where passing on the message about how important all this wildlife face for my 1st trip on the bus felt came off here live in such station I had to go and go to had Regis pick up a car and I thought I know the area and yet this thing took me on a totally different route and it was the really stand out thing was I don't recognise any of this countryside at all. It's quite extraordinary where it takes you how it takes you there yes that's right and this is actually now a bus stop right next to a place down so you can get off a little. Around and and explore it for yourself now I know you're always after volunteers to help out a volunteer that you need and also it's really even if you haven't got very much time on your hands maybe you talk every day and you can just keep an eye on things for some report problems so we have walking wardens that do that for us and then we have practical volunteers that help us maybe once a week she doing physical work maybe cutting trees raking fixing fences that kind of thing and we even have to have people out. There wanting for us in their face so helping with our education events as well say if you've got time in your hands and enjoy life then come to us. I don't know if you've been with Wildlife Trust and I've been with wildlife just about 9 years now OK. Speaking to bus driver Newman I can always get a sense of people people if they love their job buster of a human when they're sort of in the past his face lit up as does yours when you talk about all this while of what your journey into your pathway I I've always wanted to do this my dad was a real influence on me and his interest in wildlife and just like working outdoors and say Yeah I mean on the days like today fantastic clear blue sky it is it's really outside the box gorgeous my other day like yesterday for example not so clever No that's right yes truth have days when we might be in the office but you just have to get on with it and throw in a few layers of waterproofs just get out there and do it thank you to enjoy that you said Nice to meet you thanks for coming in during a very much on the bus the clock is the best you have reserves for the Wildlife Trust you can take the program 13 double 3 you need to start your text 3 C.

From its. Place. In the. Coming soon mom. Lol. 3 counties are also 5 going to be joined by the have a chance of Joe McDonald live from the Labor Party conference between before but it's about the bus by the 5th anniversary of the bus when one of the most important features of this Luton Dunstall bus way is the cycling walking route which runs right next to it when it 1st opened there was again a fair amount of criticism for the way been set out among the complaints where the surface was covered in crushed limestone which was too rough for bikes and those with off road ties the barriers were also to give people with bikes to get through or join me on the bus is Robin Cowan Robin is the chair of the Luton and done through all cycling for him and I always know when someone is a keen a proper cyclist when he's wearing the right gear and you've got the right Yankee tops I know your focus what you get off to do to welcome to the program take us back to when this thing was 1st built was the opinion of site was what you well before it was opened we were keeping an eye on it because I think 2 years before and it was open move starting and say plans of it and we were able to start dropping down it before it was opened and so we had an idea of what it was guns and start looking night and we were very impressed because he indicated the surface was very poor and also the number most but berries and literally and I don't ever think as a stop anyone using it really it was really quite you had to be quite dedicated to use it. So what happened since then so is it well it was a good start I mean you say the important thing is it's a segregated cycle path and. You haven't got junctions and therefore it was a really good prices and we were. The. Council central beds Council in actually you can. When up with ideas of how to improve it. If you don't do it right in the Start with it takes 5 years and I've actually been very good and taken 5 years and I fully stomached it now removed most events apart Paris and Person number of up from prudence in the improved the number of access point 6 It's as a result in family values now it's coming up and up so this whole idea or numbers of people who use it is it use for pleasure if you want commuting to and from the place of work well actually I mean I commute from the one side of town to the author and I use it every every day twice a day so commute but it is a leisure. The numbers when you started off it was quite small I wouldn't have Excel exact numbers I mean I got by accounts is on there but you have to US accounts also those numbers I tell my large city of those of us I can imagine Robin cycling between Dunstable or Luton on the road given another country. I just can't visit you right you take your life in your hands but having trouble depend on the bus route today looking at the sun. That day not the place to be it's very good in society. Because it segregated from traffic you see don't have to worry about traffic you don't have to worry about junctions you do have to oversee a people using it and you have to be aware of half a uses of the power of cyclists and you have to this is a time to dust out your lights and put your lights on your part because it's important to be sane and not cause creation and also you've got to use it sensibly there are people that are walking on the on the path from the users now. We not being out there listening danceable going on the road the roads instead of the Luton writing that's what Absolutely no I just cannot imagine because it's a nightmare. But the fact is if you put a cyclist from the worst position on the road onto the roster and we as a part of the stunts will start for we try and encourage everyone to respect everyone else and that's a whole point to bring peace they've listened to when they 1st opened to the change they made happen that was that they they have listened with absolutely unusual so they have listened going forward other any other improvements cyclists what we would like to see you have a couple of things I mean one of the things that sounds a bit benign is actually put some bins on Dunstable section of go by spins on the loose in Section Haven't you can tell when you're in the section because you can see pins are now that's important because people can put their operation the bins gloss and be cyclists don't really like glass you have a finger. There in the seats on the guarded bus very for people to actually sit down if you go for an hour spoke of being I have to say there was one seat by skin point line but unfortunate think about 2 months ago that got found so. That's now the space is nowhere actually for anyone to sit on the bus or you have a feeling that be useful is when the dustman come and pick up the rubbish what they tend to do is I put the bags of rubbish right in the middle of the powerful it's the sergeant part rather than put him into recesses it's not there and they can trip over the place the barracks so there are no so the number of access points actually could be improved as one by a science base in Townsville that could be made a bit more formal and also they want to Dalla road steps on there and that can make a friendly while ago within the last couple of weeks I've seen the Wiltshire actually drive down the. Hatches why to get on to the shared use path because you can't get on. And so it's kind of famous make it a lot better. We have talked Dr bike spoke to Miller he was he wanted once a week campaign to be here and repair bikes in the complex but what I thought. I should have been aware of this I know for example what installation when I have a station there is huge bikes now and there's a huge box down here and I heard from them from trying to better they've got a huge number of commuters who cycle into the station leave their bikes get the train and it does seem to be a growing way of commuting to a station. Absolutely and so so I mean the most we would really recommend that people get out of cars and actually be a bit more active one of the most dangerous fing about a car is to say because it makes people inactive and the health benefits of actually getting out been a bit more active you know we get the idea but yeah on a day like today I cling on the god bus or the pub the sock Whitefield friend yesterday for example. They did right on the day but other than that yesterday does a dedicated cyclist like you still venture out yes it because also it might you appreciate the good side if you see days and you gaps the way you appreciate the good days even more and I notice in your helmet Now this is new that you've got a cat you've got a camera on your which more and more so I can say using that help. The. On the on the on the. Cameras for defensive purposes I mean with every kind of. People there are. People on there and it is actually quite useful to be to record if need be but it's defensive so before the garden. Was made I actually got on the road by the pick out a roundabout his.
