The solution to access is simple.
Build a park-and-ride car park at Heysham, at the end of the Bay Gateway. Industrial land there used as lorry depots that could be repurposed. Build a new station on the Heysham branch and run a shuttle from there to Morecambe. Battery or electric.
Should be possible to run a service every 30 mins with one unit
That way avoids the traffic problems of Lancaster and Morecambe and solves the problem of road access. It also makes the shuttle service self-contained.
For rail a couple changes would help.
Terminate all Leeds services at Lancaster, allowing the Lancaster-Morecambe service to become self-contained
Going back to using Lancaster platform 5 for reversing the Morecambe service would give fewer conflicts
Presumably electrifying the Morecambe service would save some time north of Lancaster
And just a thought to whoever was criticising the cable-car idea. It was suggested by Ian Hughes - the very guy who was the originator of the whole Eden North concept. I wouldn't file it in the bin just yet
This was the old thread about it, and at the time the numbers estimated worked
not my idea, something in the Lancaster Guardian this week https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/business/82m-30m-high-aerial-tramway-vision-would-link-eden-project-north-to-lancaster-university-and-m6-1-9897532 It looks like the Eden Project North is going to happen in Morecambe, is this the way...
