The independent Winter Resilience Audit of how England’s transport systems coped with the recent severe winter weather has been published today.   The audit recommends further measures to enable national Government, local councils, transport providers and the public in England to manage and respond to severe winter weather, and is based on the first episode of winter weather (Wednesday 24th November to Thursday 9th December).

It was commissioned by Government ministers and undertaken by transport expert David Quarmby, and makes eight recommendations covering the road and rail sectors.  These build on the earlier conclusions and recommendations made in the Interim and Final Reports of the main Winter Resilience Review, which David Quarmby led, and which were published in July and October 2010.
