A passenger transport interchange with comprehensive facilities may be appropriate for particularly large developments that generate high passenger numbers. Development proposals and maintenance responsibilities will be considered on a site-by-site basis.
Developers should consider active travel connectivity to transport interchanges in accordance with LHDG and Local Transport Note 1/20 "Cycle Infrastructure Design" guidance.
Examples of developments and locations might include:
- major retail parks;
- hospitals;
- business parks;
- significant new housing estates;
- extensions to an existing major development where it will help to encourage greater use of passenger transport;
- developments at locations where bus routes intersect; and
- where major orbital and radial roads intersect.
Examples of facilities might include:
- a waiting room or minibus station;
- comprehensive timetable and route information, including real-time bus information;
- secure facilities for leaving luggage;
- toilets;
- refreshment facilities; and
- secure cycle parking.
