Summary
Project status: Current
Region/county: South-east Wales
Start date: End 2014
End date: spring 2019
Cost: Total project costs circa £220m
Design and build contractors: Costain Ltd, with Atkins, Ch2M & RPS
This project is registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme (external link).
Why we are doing it
The existing A465 was built in the 1960s and is a single three lane carriageway with two lanes in the uphill direction and one in the downhill direction. A regional traffic study in 1990 identified the need to improve this road. This improvement to the A465 is critical to the social and economic regeneration of the Heads of the Valleys area.
The width of the road restricts traffic flow and opportunities for safe overtaking. In many areas there is poor visibility. Accidents on this stretch are concentrated around junctions and areas with poor visibility
This improvement to the A465 is critical to the social and economic regeneration of the Heads of the Valleys area. It will improve access to key services, jobs and markets supporting inward investment to areas such as the Ebbw Vale Enterprise Zone.
Current progress
Some of the construction progress to date includes:
2 new bridges at Glanbaiden roundabout have been completed and will be open to traffic soon.
The concrete arch bridge at Gilwern has been erected and the traffic is running through the arch. This bridge is the largest of its type in the world.
The footbridge at Gilwern has been lifted into place and will soon be open for use.
Extensive work has been carried out along the length of the scheme to steepen the surrounding ground and enable widening of the carriageway.
The works have included the construction of 6200m of retaining walls to date and installation of over 6000 soil nails.
The 2 road bridges at Saleyard are nearing completion. These will be open for traffic use before the end of 2017.
A total of 33 diversions to Statutory Undertaker apparatus (water mains, gas mains, phone lines and electricity supplies etc.) have been completed. These have included major diversions work to two high pressure gas mains and a water main that required a new 1.5m wide, 100m long tunnel at a depth of 20m below the surface.
The treatment of a number of old mine workings uncovered near the Brynmawr junction.
The abutments for the Gateway Bridge at bridge at Brynmawr have been completed. Work will begin on the crossing structure at the end of Summer 2017.
Over 4000 trees have been planted within the scheme footprint.

How we consulted
We consulted on improvements to the A465 between Abergavenny and Hirwaun in 1994 as part of the process to develop the preferred route for the whole project.
In 2011 we held a series of public information exhibitions, presentations to local interest groups and meetings with local landowners and businesses We gathered information at these events to help the team understand how this section fit with local priorities, objectives and policies. This influenced the scheme design.
We held exhibitions of the draft orders in November 2013. These provided details of the final scheme which we then took through the statutory planning process.
An independent inspector held a public local inquiry in March & April 2014, where supporters and objectors to the scheme were able to present their case.
Alternative routes proposed by objectors were considered in a public inquiry alongside our published scheme.
Costain have a dedicated Community Manager and a Public Liaison Officer, Jeff Mapps, as part of their site team.
Delegates at International Railway Summit 2015 receive their customised one-to-one consultation meeting schedule for the next two days at the event’s information desk as the summit’s meeting programme starts at Fairmont Rey Juan Carlos I in Barcelona, Spain on 19 February 2015.

I would much prefer to buy my train tickets from a human being and not a vending machine. You can do this but you have to look around for the ticket office. The trains were generally pleasant and not crowded except for the Circumvesuviana line which was kind of a zoo. Crowded and you will be lucky to find a seat. Nor was it obvious to me WHICH train was the right one.
Remember the old Cheshirebus logo?Bus companies had to display it at the front of the vehicle when operating any Cheshire county council contracted service.
My life in the bus industry owed a lot to travelling on Corona between London and Sudbury - in all sorts of ways!

I got this timetable from a friend as a birthday present. Nice addition to the collection!

An overview look as of August 2020 at my collection of transit timetables, maps, schedules, ride guides, etc. that I've amassed so far. Many of these were picked up while visiting and fanning different systems, and several others were kindly given to me by fellow transit enthusiasts. This series of photos is based loosely by state or providence, but sometime city or region depending on what I actually have.

In the last couple of years or so, Surrey CC have gone for stop specific timetables, which is fair enough as it's the way things are going industry-wide.
Personally, I'm not a fan - as stop specific gives less information, and I can read a bus timetable.
New timetables are now up ready for the SCC Bus Review changes to the 34 and 35 from 30th August 2015. Here's the Camberley-bound stop at Woking station.
Two questions arise: how do you know it goes via Hermitage Estate on Sundays (indeed the route bar at the top says 'Knaphill Surrey Hermitage' (=Hermitage, The Surrey) so specifically says that Sunday buses go that way when they don't)?
Secondly, why isn't it combined with the 35 times on one sheet?!
Also, the 134 is missing so it only shows the 1550 departure as a 34 on non-schooldays only.
A general issue with stop specific timetables is that they only give an approximate journey time, for example the 34 to Camberley here is shown as 55 minutes to reach the destination. But, on long routes, there can be significant variance. For example, a quick look at the timetable shows one journey timed to do it in 40 minutes!
