Traffic Assessment - Renfrewshire Council

5.8 The underpass is accessible from Greenock Road via both Station Road and Gledstane Road.
These routes have footways and street lighting on both sides of the carriageway and currently
provide access to residential properties, local shops (including the post office) and Bishopton
Railway Station.
5.9 Isochrones for 10, 20 and 30 minutes walking and cycling times from the site are provided in
Appendix C, indicated by Figure C1 and Figure C2 respectively. These isochrones demonstrate
that the village is within 20 minutes walk and a 10 minute cycle of the majority of Bishopton.
Existing and future cycle links are indicated by Figure C3 also in Appendix C.
Public Transport
Bishopton Railway Station - Park and Ride
5.10 The planning application for the village centre includes 300 park and ride spaces on the west side
of the railway line. These have been determined through a separate study and are primarily
intended to meet the demands of both Dargavel and Bishopton Village. A preliminary layout of the
300 space car park is indicated by JMP Figure 1.3 (from the Park and Ride Demand Study) in
Appendix D of this report and includes a bus gate and turning circle. This will greatly improve the
attractiveness of the railway station as a high quality public transport interchange.
Bus Services
5.11 Enhancements to the local bus services have been identified (Condition 13 of the Masterplan PPP)
and these are to be phased in over a number of years. Table 5.1 below indicates the schedule of
phasing for each service while Figure E1 in Appendix E indicates the indicative route for each
service.
