Hi Liam,
 
In the meeting with the Mayor this morning, you asked me to confirm whether Darren’s statement
at a meeting last night that Johnsonville Line didn’t qualify as a rapid transit corridor is in line with
GWRC’s planning documents. This is basically covered in the memo (para 17). It would appear that
Darren’s statement was inconsistent with the official documents.
 
Cheers, Joe

the NPS-UD
 
Hi Liam,
 
Joe H reminded me of the lingering question about whether the cable car is “rapid transit”. The
topic is unlikely to come up in tomorrow morning’s meeting, but if it does, the short story is that
while the Cable Car appears to meet the ‘rapid transit’ criteria in the NPS-UD, GPS Transport and
the One Network Framework (ironically given its 18 kmh speed), no-one has yet classified it as
rapid transit. It remains under consideration.
 
Regards
 
Andrew
