To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 7 February (WA 88) concerning the bus lane on the M4, what is the nature of the environmental assessments that are being considered; and why they include the restoration of the bus lane.[HL752]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 7 February (WA 88) concerning the bus lane on the M4, what is the nature of the environmental assessments that are being considered; and why they include the restoration of the bus lane.[HL752]
The environmental assessments to understand more fully the effect on the local environment of removing the M4 bus lane looks at all the topics identified in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges, scoping out those topics which are not likely to have an effect on the environment. For the M4 Bus Lane the focus is on the likely significance of the impact the removal of the bus lane has on air quality. As part of the assessment, the feasibility of a range of mitigation options for air quality is considered.
The scenarios include a ‘with bus lane' option because the bus lane removal is still in its trial period, and we have two outstanding objections to its permanent removal.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 7 February concerning the M4 bus lane (WA 881), whether they have now made a decision about its removal and the restoration of that part of the M4 to motorway status; and, if not, why not.[HL453]

Analysis of the environmental assessment, which includes a review of the speed limit, has not yet been completed. Once this is completed, the Highways Agency will be in a position to make a decision on how best to proceed.

Following the two objections received during the recent consultation exercise, additional environmental assessments have been undertaken to understand more fully the effect on the local environment of removing the bus lane. The analysis of these assessments needs to be completed before the Highways Agency continues with the statutory process for the revocation order, which is expected to conclude later this year.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Attlee on 14 November (WA 298) concerning the M4 bus lane, whether they will state who made the two objections to the permanent removal of the bus lane; and whether all users of the facility have been consulted.[HL3761]

The two objections to the permanent removal of the M4 bus lane were made by the London Borough of Hounslow and Clean Air for London.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Earl Attlee on 29 October (WA 107) regarding speed limits on the M4, whether they intend to reintroduce the bus lane between junction 3 and the Chiswick flyover; and what changes have been made to the geometry of the road...

Future plans relating to the bus lane between junctions 3 and 2 of the M4 remain subject to the outcome of a statutory consultation about the permanent removal of the bus lane. The Highways Agency is in the process of reviewing two objections received prior to a decision being considered by the Secretary of State in 2013.
There have been no changes made to the geometry of the road between junctions 4 and 3. The speed limit reflects the existing road layout.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they intend to restore the 70 miles per hour speed limit on the M4 between junction 4 and Chiswick flyover. [HL2789]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they intend to restore the 70 miles per hour speed limit on the M4 between junction 4 and Chiswick flyover. [HL2789]
The Highways Agency currently has no plans to increase the existing speed limits on the M4 between Junction 4 and Junction 1. The reduced speed limit was introduced in 1999 due to the geometry of the road, and the reduction of three lanes to two lanes at the two lane elevated section. Following the suspension of the bus lane in November 2010 these factors have not changed.

My Lords, there is a slight glimmer of hope for the A1 north of Newcastle. We are considering whether it should be part of the strategic road network. However, this does not mean that it will be dualled any time soon.

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for his contribution. By definition, a trolleybus is electrically driven and therefore has zero emissions at the point of use, which makes it a very attractive project. I look forward to researching this project, just out of interest on my part.
