An audit checklist for each aspect is included in Appendix E.- Information provision: including the provision of easily readable bus andrail timetab les (ideally showing connections), route maps, real-timeinformation, branding of stops and services, fares information, staffing,opening hours of ticket offices;- Quality of walking routes: including the provision of direction signs,clear uncluttered and safe routes, accessibility for disabled users,cleanliness and lack of graffiti;- Quality of waiting environments: including provision of shelter from theweather, seating, lighting, security, additional facilities (for examp letoilets, telephone, café, shop, cash machine), aesthetic quality,cleanliness and lack of graffiti; and- Usefulness and likely usage: including assessment of the usefulness ofthe connection and the degree of integration of bus and rail timetab les.5.2.4 For each interchange, a general description is provided followed by specificcommentaries on information provision, quality of walking routes, quality ofwaiting environments, and an assessment of the likely usage of theinterchange. A summary table is included showing a score between 5 (best)and 0 (worst) for each of the four aspects. The individual scores are summedto give a total between 20 and 0 to provide a quick comparison between theinterchanges. An examp le layout for the summary table is shown below inTable 5.1. Appendix D shows the elements that were considered indetermining each score.Table 5.1 Example summary table and scoring systemLocationRailServicesBusServicesInformationProvisionWalkingRoutesWaitingEnvironmentUsefulnessTotalText Text Text Score 0-5Score0-5Score0-5Score0-5Score0-20Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 87G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
5.3 Axmin ster Railw ay StationIntroduction5.3.1 Axminster railway station provides an interchange between the Exeter toLondon Waterloo railway line and two b us services to the Jurassic Coast:• First Dorset service 31 to Lyme Regis, Bridport, Dorchester andWeymouth. Hourly, Monday to Saturday and 6 buses on Sundays; and• Axe Valley Mini Travel service 885 to Colyton and Seaton. Every 1 to 1.5hours on weekdays and 5 buses on Sundays.5.3.2 Figure 5.1 overleaf shows the layout of Axminster station. The bus stop isimmediately outside the railway station. The station has a single platform andthere are no steps or ramps between the platform and the bus stop.Information Provision5.3.3 Information provision at Axminster is very good. The signs on the stationplatform are branded with the Jurassic Coast logo. The railway station hasstandard timetable display boards as well as electronic departure boards onthe platform (showing the next 3 trains) and in the ticket office (showing thenext 8 trains). In addition, the ticket office carries a range of leaf lets andtimetable booklets.5.3.4 The bus stop has standard timetables displayed in a timetable case. The textof these timetab les is small, and they are not stop-specific, and maytherefore be difficult for many people to use. Neither of the relevanttimetables for interchanging to the Jurassic Coast has the Axminster stationbus stop highlighted (although one of the other buses using this stop doeshave it highlighted). The bus stop flag does not have any Jurassic Coastbranding, although the 31 bus timetab le is branded.5.3.5 Neither the bus nor rail timetables at the station show any information aboutrail-bus connections. Connecting times for trains are however shown in theservice 31 timetable within the Bridport & Lyme Regis area timetab le bookletproduced by DoCC. These are not shown in the East Devon bus times booklet.Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 88G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
