West Sussex County Council commissioned us to
explore possible public transport enhancements to
cater for existing and new developments in the area
around Gatwick Airport. Our work resulted in the
Fastway Guided Bus Network, which opened in
September 2003. The network provides this part of
West Sussex with a high frequency, reliable public
transport system linking Gatwick Airport with the
nearby towns of Crawley and Horley.
We provided high quality, independent advice
throughout the scheme development, including
significant input into the feasibility study, scheme
appraisal (submitted in part of West Sussex’s Local
Transport Plan), patronage and revenue forecasting
and design recommendations.
Subsequently, we
conducted a major economic appraisal of the scheme
to confirm that it had sufficient benefits to justify
public sector funding. This formed the basis of the
business case to secure £10m of government funding
as well as private investment for this £35m scheme.
