Ukuphazamiseka Okusha Okukhulu Kajantshi e-Southern England: I-Basingstoke, Winchester, kanye Nemizila yase-Salisbury Ethintwe Ngesikhathi Sokuthuthukiswa Kwesizini Yamaholide

NgoLwesihlanu, ngoDisemba 13, i-2024

Njengoba esinye sezikhathi zokuhamba ezimatasatasa sisondela, ukuphazamiseka kwesitimela okubalulekile kuzothinta eningizimu yeNgilandi kusukela kule mpelasonto. Njengoba iSouth Western Railway kanye nezinsizakalo zikaloliwe iGreat Western Railway zenza umsebenzi omkhulu wobunjiniyela, abahambi bayanxuswa ukuthi bahlele kusenesikhathi. Ukuphazamiseka, okugqugquzelwa ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda, kuzoqhubeka ngoKhisimusi nangoNcibijane, kuphazamise ezokuvakasha nokuhamba esifundeni sonke. Lezi zinguquko zigqamisa ibhalansi ethambile phakathi kokugcina inethiwekhi yezitimela ephephile, enokwethenjelwa nokuhlangabezana nesidingo esikhulayo sohambo oluphumelelayo phakathi nezinkathi zonyaka ezihamba phambili.

Uhlolojikelele Lokuphazamiseka Kwesitimela

Ukuvalwa kukajantshi kuzoqala ngeSonto, okuthinta izinsiza phakathi kwe-Basingstoke ne-Woking, lapho kuhlelwe khona ukushintshwa komzila kanye nokulungiswa konqenqema. I-South Western Railway (SWR) imemezele ukuthi amabhasi azothatha indawo yezitimela kweminye imizila, kanti amanye azophambukiswa noma akhanselwe ngokuphelele. Iphrojekthi yobunjiniyela enkulu kunazo zonke eminyakeni edlule, lo mzamo uzophinde uhlanganise nokuvuselela amaswishi, izindawo zokuwela, nezinhlelo zokudonsa amanzi, nokufaka esikhundleni samamitha angu-3,000 wesitimela somqhubi. Ngokuka-George Murrell, umqondisi wokuvuselela wesifunda se-Network Rail's Wessex, lokhu kuthuthukiswa kubalulekile ekuletheni ujantshi ophephile nothembekile, naphezu kokuphazamiseka okusheshayo kwabahambi.

Lo msebenzi uzophazamisa imizila ebalulekile ngesikhathi samaholidi kaKhisimusi, kuze kube isonto lokuqala likaJanuwari. Ukuvalwa okuqondile kuzoba nomthelela kumzila weSouth Western Main Line, kanye nolayini oseNtshonalanga ye-England onqamula eSalisbury, ongeke ube nezitimela eziqondile eziya eLondon kusukela ngoDisemba 23 kuya kuJanuwari 5. Abahambi abavela eWeymouth, Bournemouth, naseSouthampton baya eLondon bazobhekana no-45- ukubambezeleka kwamaminithi ngenxa yemizila ephambukisiwe edlula e-Portsmouth. Ukwengeza, ezinye iziteshi, okuhlanganisa i-Winchester ne-Micheldever, ngeke zibe nezinsizakalo eziqondile, nokushintshwa kwamabhasi endaweni.

Imithelela Ezokuvakasha Nokuvakasha Kwasendaweni

Embonini yezokuvakasha, lokhu kuphazamiseka kubangela izinselelo kumabhizinisi athembele esikhathini samaholidi ukuze kunyuke izinga lezinyawo. Abahambi abavakashela izindawo ezidumile eziseningizimu yeNgilandi, njengemakethe kaKhisimusi yaseWinchester noma izindawo ezisogwini eduze kwaseSouthampton, bazohlangabezana nohambo olude futhi bancishiswe lula. Amahhotela, izindawo zokudlela, nezindawo ezikhangayo eduze neziteshi ezithintekile kungase kubone ukwehla kwezinombolo zezivakashi ngenxa yokuncipha kokufinyeleleka.

Abaqhubi bezokuvakasha kanye nezinkampani zezokuvakasha zizodinga ukuzivumelanisa nezimo ngokunikeza eminye imizila noma ngokuqinisekisa ukuthi abahambi bayakwazi ukubambezeleka okungaba khona. Kodwa-ke, ukuphazamiseka kungase kuveze amathuba kubaqhubi bamabhasi namasevisi okuqasha izimoto, njengoba abahambi befuna ezinye izindlela zokuthutha ukuze bazulazule endaweni.

IGlobal Impact kubahambi

Ezivakashini zamazwe ngamazwe ezifika e-London futhi zihlela uhambo oluya eningizimu ye-England, ukuvalwa kwezitimela kudala izithiyo zokuhlela. Labo abafuna ukuhlola izindawo okuyiwa kuzo ezidumile njenge-Stonehenge, Ihlathi Elisha, noma i-Dorset's Jurassic Coast kuzodingeka bacabangele isikhathi esengeziwe sokuhamba kanye nezindleko ezingase zibe phezulu zezinye izinto zokuhamba.

Abagibeli be-Great Western Railway (GWR) babhekana nezinye izinkinga ngenxa yomsebenzi oqhubekayo e-Old Oak Common, isiza sesikhathi esizayo sesiteshi esisha se-HS2. Phakathi kukaDisemba 27 no-30, izitimela eziningi ze-GWR zizoma e-Reading, ezidinga ukuthi abagibeli basebenzise i-Elizabeth Line futhi badlulele ku-Underground. Abavakashi bamazwe ngamazwe abangayijwayele le mizila bangase bakuthole kudida ukuzijabulisa, okungaba nomthelela ekuhambeleni kwabo kukonke.

Lokhu kuphazamiseka kuyinselele ikakhulukazi kubahambi bomzuzu wokugcina, njengoba izinsiza zebanga elide ze-GWR phakathi nalesi sikhathi zizodinga ukubhukha, futhi ukuthengwa kwamathikithi ngokuzenzekelayo ngeke kuvunyelwe. Imikhawulo ingase ivimbe izivakashi ezithile, ikakhulukazi lezo ezikwazisa ukuguquguquka ohambweni lwazo.

Imigomo Yengqalasizinda Yesikhathi Eside

Nakuba umthelela osheshayo ohambweni ubalulekile, izinzuzo zesikhathi eside zalokhu kuthuthukiswa azikwazi ukushaywa indiva. Ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda kuhloswe ngayo ukuthuthukisa ukwethembeka nokusebenza kahle kwezigidi zabagibeli, kusekelwe ukukhula kwezokuvakasha kanye nokuhambela amabhizinisi esifundeni. Isiteshi se-HS2 esise-Old Oak Common, okulindeleke ukuthi siqedwe ngo-2028, sizokwakha ukuxhumana okubalulekile phakathi kweLondon emaphakathi nezindawo okuyiwa kuzo, kukhuphule ukufinyeleleka kwezivakashi zasekhaya nezakwamanye amazwe.

Ngokutshala imali ezinhlelweni zikaloliwe zesimanje, i-UK izibeka njengomholi ezisombululweni zohambo ezisimeme. Uxhaxha lwezitimela oluthuthukisiwe luzonciphisa ukuthembela ezimotweni nasezindizeni zamabanga amafushane ukuya kwaphakathi, zihambisane nemizamo yomhlaba wonke yokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni kanye nokukhuthaza ezokuvakasha ezivumelana nemvelo.

Amathiphu Abahambi

Ukuze kunqandwe ukuphazamiseka ngempumelelo, abagibeli bayakhuthazwa ukuthi bahlele uhambo lwabo ngokucophelela. Amasu abalulekile afaka:

• Ihlola izibuyekezo: Ukuqapha njalo amashejuli ezitimela kanye nezinguquko zesevisi kumawebhusayithi asemthethweni.
• Ukuhlola ezinye izindlela: Kucatshangelwa izinkonzo zamabhasi, ukuqashwa kwemoto, noma izinketho zokuhamba nge-rideshare zohambo lwasendaweni.
• Ukubhuka kusenesikhathi: Ukugcina amathikithi kusenesikhathi ukuze uvikele izihlalo kumasevisi alinganiselwe, ikakhulukazi ku-GWR.

Lezi zinyathelo zingasiza abahambi ukuthi banciphise ukuphazamiseka futhi baqinisekise ukuzizwisa okushelelayo phakathi nenkathi yamaholide.

Ukucatshangelwa Kwezomnotho Nezenhlalakahle

Ukuphazamiseka kwezitimela kugqamisa inselelo enkulu yokulinganisa ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda nezidingo zokuhamba ngokushesha. Nakuba ukuthuthukiswa kuzogcina kuzuzise abagibeli futhi kuqinise ezokuvakasha, izinselelo zesikhashana zingase zicindezele amabhizinisi endawo futhi zikhungathekise abahambi. Emadolobheni amancane ancike ekuxhumekeni kwezitimela, ukufinyeleleka okuncishisiwe kungasho izivakashi ezimbalwa phakathi nesinye sezikhathi ezinenzuzo enkulu yonyaka.

Ngokwenhlalo, ukuphazamiseka kugcizelela ukubaluleka kokuxhumana okucacile nezinketho zokuhamba ezifinyelelekayo. Abaqhubi bezitimela neziphathimandla zendawo kufanele basebenzisane ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi abagibeli bayaziswa futhi bayasekelwa phakathi naso sonke isikhathi samaholide.

Umsebenzi obanzi wobunjiniyela bezitimela eningizimu yeNgilandi ugcizelela ubunkimbinkimbi bokugcina nokuvuselela ingqalasizinda ebalulekile ngesikhathi kuhlangatshezwana nezidingo zabahambi. Nakuba ukuphazamiseka kubangela izinselele ezinkulu ngesikhathi samaholide, kuvula indlela yenethiwekhi yezitimela esebenza kahle kakhulu futhi enokwethenjelwa esikhathini esizayo. Kuzivakashi, amabhizinisi, nabaqhubi bezokuthutha, ukuzivumelanisa nezimo nokuhlela okumatasa kuzoba ukhiye ekuzuleni kulesi sikhathi soshintsho. Ngokubhekana nokukhathazeka okusheshayo nokugxila ezinzuzweni zesikhathi eside, imboni yezokuvakasha ingaqhubeka nokuchuma phakathi kwalezi zenzakalo.
