SILVER LINING FOR THOSE IN FEAR OF REDUNDANCY

 How a new travel policy could put the shine back into your summer holiday

 

Some brighter news for once for those facing the threat of redundancy: it need not jeopardise their holiday plans.

 

Insurance provider, AllClear, (Tel: 0845 250 5200 & quote REP) has added ‘redundancy cash-back cover’ to its AllClear Personal single-trip

travel policy over the summer.

Not only does its policy already insure against the forced cancellation of a holiday through redundancy, but now it goes one better: for those

who decide NOT to cancel, AllClear will contribute 50% to the cost of the trip.

 

“Being made redundant is bad enough,” says AllClear’s Iain Sykes, “but it is doubly so when that means having to cancel a well-earned break.

Our policy gives them an alternative. If they have an AllClear policy, and still want to go, then we will pay 50% of their booked holiday costs.”

 

The new policy has a limit of up to £800 per (insured) person, (£500 for holidays within Europe). If a family of two adults and two children

book a typical £3,000 holiday and decide to take that holiday despite being made redundant, AllClear will give them £1,500 cash back.

 

“In short the policyholder wins either way,” Iain adds. “He’s covered if he cancels, or he receives a welcome cash sum to spend if he doesn’t.

At last, he has a choice, a parachute that allows a softer landing, and takes some of the edge off what is always a difficult time.”

 

The redundancy cash-back cover is included in the AllClear Personal travel policy for any traveller under 65 who is made redundant,

assuming they have more than two years continuous service with the same employer, and work at least 16-hours per week. This year,

Britons are expected to make over 40 million holiday trips abroad; according to the National Office of Statistics, even in benign conditions

approximately 2,000 people are made redundant EVERY WORKING DAY.

 

“It is not being alarmist,” Iain insists, “it is just a fact of life, and a clear gap in the market. If we can make things better for people, and

enhance our product offering, then everybody wins: AllClear, the consumer, and the travel industry at large.”

 

Over the years, AllClear has been responsible for many innovations in the travel insurance industry, and was a pioneer in the high-risk field

of covering travellers with severe pre-existing medical conditions

Holiday Apartment in Grange-over-Sands

 

Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria

(or Lancashire North of the Sands if you’re old fashioned)

 

Grange-over-Sands is one of Britain’s most delightful, unspoilt small resorts. It exudes Victorian charm and is a gentle sort of

place. It’s less than half an hour’s drive from Lake Windermere but light years away from the crowds and bustle.

South Lakeland has so many hidden delights and Grange is the ideal place from whence to explore them. Grange is easily

accessible by rail, with frequent services from Lancaster (connecting with London and Glasgow services) as well as through

trains from Manchester Airport. I offer a 10% discount to members of REPTA and TSSA.

 

Belle Isle Terrace

 

The apartment is on Belle Isle Terrace, next to the Victoria Hall (regular concerts in summer) and the Tourist Information Centre.

It’s in the heart of Grange, five minutes walk from the station with shops, park and cafes nearby. The apartment is on the

third floor of the fine Victorian terrace, and gives superb views across Morecambe Bay and towards the Bowland Fells.

Behind the house is woodland.

 

The Apartment

 

The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with a lounge, double bedroom, study and kitchen. There is also a utility room with

hoover, ironing board etc. Heating is gas central heating supplemented by a coal-effect gas fire in the lounge.

Even on cold winter days the place warms up very quickly. The flat is full of books – novels, history, Lakes, railways.

Guests are welcome to read them during their stay, and use the CD and video collection. There is the usual stuff: TV, DVD,

video, washing machine, gas cooker. A bike is kept in the flat and is available for guests to use.

 

Walking and Cycling

 

Grange is a great centre for both walking and cycling. There are dozens of lovely walks that can be done from the flat,

especially up to Hampsfell behind Grange. There are many safe cycling routes, around Meathop, Witherslack and the

Lyth and Winster Valleys. An evening or morning walk along the Promenade is always a treat, with superb floral displays all along.

If you take the train across the estuary there are superb walks in the Arnside and Silverdale AONB as well as

Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve.

 

Eating Out

 

In Grange itself there are several very good cafes, including the famous Hazelmere, near the station. The Promenade Café,

open from Easter, is a classic. For evenings out there are several restaurants, including those in private hotels which often have

space for non-residents. Clare House and Hampsfell House are favourites. The local chippy – Fish over Chips on Kentsbank

Road - is  very good and you can eat in.

 

Keeping Grange Special

 

Grange has several distinctive shops – an award-winning butchers (Higginsons), two excellent second-hand bookshops,

a very good deli, two bakeries, a greengrocer’s and lots more good places.

 

Public Facilities

 

The Library is very good and staff are always helpful – as is the Tourist Information Centre, less than a minute from the flat.

The station staff are very obliging and will offer advice on days out and ‘rover’ tickets which can be used on train, bus and

lake steamer. There are weekly band concerts in the park during the season, and the ducks give all-year entertainment in the

lovely park near the station. For a place of its size Grange has a good range of cultural activities, with concerts in the

Victoria Hall as well as in Ulverston and Cartmel Priory.

 

Nearby

 

There is so much beauty within a ten mile radius of Grange. Although Lake Windermere and Coniston are very near,

there are some really outstanding places, off the main tourist maps, which are worth visiting – Arnside and Silverdale have

lovely walks and are charming villages, easily reached by the local train service. Holker Hall is very near, with superb gardens

and an excellent farm shop. So too Sizergh Castle. Ulverston is a short train ride away – it’s a lively market town with a very

active arts scene. Kendal is half an hour on the X35 bus, which is hourly. Cartmel is one of Cumbria’s loveliest villages with its

magnificent priory. A superb walk over the Fell, or you can take the local bus. The Lakeside and Haverthwaite steam railway

is very near and is served by the X35 bus. Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve is a 10 minute train ride away, at Silverdale.

For longer trips a train ride up the coast beyond Barrow to St Bees, Ravenglass and Whitehaven is recommended.

 

Practicalities

 

The apartment is available throughout the year. I use it as a bolt-hole from the demands of helping to run a train service

(I’m a senior manager with Northern Rail) so there’s a lot of my stuff there – books, music, maps – which guests are welcome

to use. This is the first year of opening it to ‘paying guests’ and I’m learning as I go along – but I would like to make your stay

comfortable and enjoyable!

 

There is one car parking space for guests.

 

The apartment letting is Saturday to Saturday. At this stage I’d prefer it if you brought your own linen and towels, otherwise there is

everything you need.


 

Prices

 

My pricing structure for 2010 is very simple:

per week

Jan 2nd to March 27th     £250                

 Mar 27th to April 17th    £350

April 17th to July 3rd       £300

July 3rd to Sept 11          £350

Sept11th – Nov 6th        £300

Nov 6th to Dec 11th       £250

Dec 11th to Jan 8th         £350

 

Guests who are members of REPTA get a 10% discount.

 

If the flat is available I can do weekend rates – by arrangement

 

All bookings should be accompanied with a deposit of 50% of the total price, and full payment is required two weeks before

the start of your holiday.

 

If you would like to make a booking, or enquire about the flat, please email me on  paul.salveson@btconnect.com or

phone me on 01484 844846 or write to me at: 90a Radcliffe Road, Golcar, Huddersfield HD7 4EZ

 

Thanks!

Discover the glories of Railway Walks With Julia Bradbury

 

FOLLOWING the phenomenal success of Wainwright Walks, Acorn Media is delighted to announce the return

of Julia Bradbury (Watchdog, The Rough Guide To…) who once again dons her walking boots to explore

railway lines, many of which have become the legacy of ‘The Beeching Axe’.

 

Featuring The Monsal Trail, The Mawddach Trail, Cornwall’s Mineral Tramways, The Strathspey Railway,

The Rodwell Trail & Portland, and Callender to Loch Tay, the series – which is currently being broadcast on

BBC Four and receiving unprecedented viewing figures – provides hours of beautiful walks steeped in history

and offers a fascinating and in-depth insight into industrial Britain.

 

In the 1960s thousands of railways across the country were closed. Many of these old branch lines, and the

spectacular scenery they pass through, are now treasured by ramblers. Julia follows these old tracks, overgrown

cuttings and ancient viaducts of Britain’s lost rail empire, as well as visiting the disused lines across England,

Scotland and Wales, through stunning landscapes, urban backstreets, with each contrasting walk having a

unique story to tell.

 

A tremendously interesting and unique exploration into Britain’s industrial history, the DVD of Railway Walks

with Julia Bradbury was released courtesy of Acorn Media on 12 January 2009.

 

Interviews available with Julia Bradbury please contact Sazzie Kluvitse to discuss

WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY WELCOMES BACK “TORNADO” FOR TWO WEEKS IN 2010

 

Following an enormously successful initial visit to the West Somerset Railway in 2009 the A1 Class Pacific locomotive 60163

“Tornado” will be returning to the West Somerset Railway for two separate weekly visits in 2010.

“Tornado” will be working trains over the line between Bishops Lydeard (near Taunton) and Minehead on the Mondays to

Fridays July 12th to 16th and September 13th to 17th inclusive, visiting the WSR between operations on the main line network.

It is intended that it will work two round trips over the WSR on each day and the WSR will charge normal fares to travel on the

trains which it is working.  A leaflet is in the process of being prepared and information and booking form will appear shortly at

www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk.

 

 

 

WEST SOMERSET MINERAL LINE TRIPS

 

These have already proved very popular and the first two trips have sold out. We have also sold one third of the remaining seats

on the October 16th trip.

 

AN EXMOOR DAY OUT BY STEAM TRAIN AND CLASSIC COACH

 

In a new venture this year we will try to recreate those bygone days when we went on holiday by steam train and local coach

companies ran mystery tours to see lovely scenery along roads that were far from busy. A small taste of yesteryear will be

available in the summer of 2010 when the West Somerset Railway and the Blue Motors of Exmoor will combine for a steam

train ride through the Quantock Hills and along the Bristol Channel Coast from Bishops Lydeard to Dunster. At Dunster the

Blue Motors classic coach will be waiting to meet the passengers with a driver who is an expert in places of local interest and

take the passengers on their way pausinga long the way at an Exmoor Inn for a meal and drink (which will have to be

purchased separately). The route of the Mystery Tour will not be revealed but passengers will be back at Minehead Station

before the departure of the 16.05 train back to Bishops Lydeard. The operating dates for this are June 25th, July 2nd, 9th,

16th and 23rd, and September 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th. There is a maximum of 23 seats available on each outing.

Leaflets are on the Order Form.

SPRING STEAM GALA

 

At the time of writing this report there are five visiting former British Railways Standard Class locomotives in the process of

being booked to appear at the March 2010 Spring Steam Gala as follows:-

71000 “Duke of Gloucester, 2MT 78019, 4MT Tank 80104 and 9F’s 92203 “Black Prince” and 92212.

Sadly not the eight or nine Standards we had hoped for but lack of availability and the need to cut our cloth to match the

2010 Special Events Expenditure Budget set by the Company Board in what all believe could be a difficult year as the country

tries to climb out of recession. To support these five visitors the Minehead based locomotives will be as follows:-

6024 “King Edward I”. 4160, 5553 and 9351.

This gives us nine locomotives to roster compared to the eleven last March so we have asked WSRA and Braunton

Management Company to see if together they can make SR Pacific 34046 available to complement the “Standards”.

At this moment we understand “Braunton” is unavailable for traffic due to problems with the axles of her borrowed tender

and her own, newly constructed tender, is some way being completed and ready for inspection prior to entering service.

However the Special Events Planning Team believe the reappearance of 34046 at the Spring Steam Gala is key to the success

of the event and so have asked the Association and the Braunton Management Group to investigate the hire-in of another

suitable tender that  will allow 34046 to once again emerge from the shadows and take her rightful place as one of the stars of

the show.

The advance publicity leaflet for the Spring Steam Gala is now available and you will see we have designed a new hourly

frequency timetable with departures on the hour from Bishops Lydeard and Minehead. The new timetable should make life

much easier for both visitors and staff and has built-in minimum station time at the key stations along the route to reflect the feed

back from past Galas. However it does mean a few minutes longer journey times and this has given arise to some concern from

some who have studied the timetable and believe some visitors will not be happy with the extended journey times. That point has

been noted but SEPT believe all need to understand the West Somerset Railway is not a Train Operating Company charged

with getting customers from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead in the shortest possible time. In reality the Company is in

“Show Business” and the view from a comfortable seat through the clean carriage window as our trains meander through the

lovely Somerset countryside  is , perhaps, the most important part of the “visitor experience” and a few minutes more enjoying

that experience will not be a problem to the majority. Can we ask you all to take a few leaflets home to share with family, friends

and work colleagues so they are all aware of the great treats on offer and will come to see the “show” for themselves.

As always all our plans have still not been firmed up at this stage as we continue to try to put a contract in place with First Group

to provide rail shuttle services from Taunton to Bishops Lydeard at weekends when they are said to have spare trains and crews.

We are also having to find a new coach operator as Cooks Coaches (Stagecoach) have told us they are not able to help us this

year. In itself that should not be a problem as there are other local coach operators we can approach to provide the free bus

shuttle service. The complication is the availability of Silk Mills Park and Ride as we were led to believe Cooks Coaches have

sole rights to serve that facility that if not available to us could create even bigger car parking challenges at Bishops Lydeard.

The shops at Bishops Lydeard and Minehead plus the Turntable Café will be open for business on all six days of the Gala.

The hot food mobile outlets have been booked again for Bishops Lydeard, Minehead and Williton, the latter being weekends

only. Light refreshments will also be available at Crowcombe Heathfield, Stogumber, Williton, Watchet, Washford, Blue Anchor

and Dunster although hours of opening may vary. On train catering will be provided by both the Company buffet staff and the

Quantock Belle team and we hope to have buffets open on all services but that will depend on availability of staff each day.

To cater for what we hope will be record numbers of visitors the additional mobile toilets will again be provided at Bishops

Lydeard and arrangements are in hand to ensure both the mobile and permanent toilets are regularly serviced throughout each

day. Fingers crossed, the weather will be much warmer, dry and sunny by the end of March so the visitors and staff can enjoy

another great West Somerset Railway “show” and so hopefully get the Railway Year off to a great start.

LOCAL RESIDENTS CARDS.

 

Since the Railway re-opened in 1976 residents of Taunton Deane and West Somerset Council areas have been able to purchase

The Board has now decided that with effect from January 1st this will be extended to everyone living in an area with a ”TA”
