Essex Rapid Transit is a dead SERT to be successful

29 November 2006

The South Essex Rapid Transit was unveiled this week, with services expected to begin by 2010/11.
SERT will use low-emission vehicles featuring global positioning to track their location, and the power to turn traffic lights to green on approach. The first routes are earmarked for Basildon, Southend or Grays, with particular emphasis on linking and integrating SERT routes with new development. Consultation on likely routes will be undertaken in spring 2007.
Rodney Bass, Essex cabinet member for highways and transportation, said: ‘SERT is one of the key proposals of the Thames Gateway South Essex Business Plan for Transport, which aims to tackle congestion and stimulate economic development.’
All stops will have shelters, seats and lighting, and a London Underground-style route map – as well as CCTV surveillance, where appropriate. The cost of the project is so far unknown.
