tie has successfully project managed the implementation of several key transport schemes throughout Scotland.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edinburgh Trams
Edinburgh Trams is part of a commitment to improving public transport in the city whilst offering a reliable and efficient alternative to car use. tie successfully promoted and gained parliamentary approval for the tram bills in March 2006, which were awarded Royal Assent shortly afterwards.
The trams will be delivered in phases and will link key areas of development, economic importance and regeneration whilst improving the urban environment. Trams will be running in Edinburgh by early 2007.

Edinburgh Airport Rail Link (EARL)
tie Limited was appointed to deliver the Edinburgh Airport Rail Link (EARL) in 2003. This followed an announcement by the then Scottish Executive to develop proposals for a link to Edinburgh Airport and a station beside the terminal.
tie successfully introduced the EARL Bill to Parliament in March 2006 and achieved Royal Assent in April 2007. The Parliament voted to review the project in June 2007 and to suspend it in September 2007. Work completed to date on the design of EARL will be preserved and archived in a manner which does not close down future options.

Stirling Alloa Kincardine (SAK)

As part of Transport Scotland’s transport strategy, the project involves re-building approximately 21 km of disused railway lines between Stirling Station and Longannet Power station in Kincardine.

Ingliston Park and Ride
tie was commissioned by the City of Edinburgh Council to deliver a park and ride site on the main A8 corridor into Edinburgh. tie successfully achieved this and the site now accommodates 535 car parking spaces, including disabled and cycle parking, and provides manned facilities housed in a modern building, with CCTV, Real Time information and other security facilities.
The Park and Ride is in a key location and will provide future integration with Edinburgh Tram Line 1. Plans for expanding the site are currently underway.

Edinburgh Fastlink
Launched by the City of Edinburgh Council and tie in 2004, Edinburgh Fastlink, Scotland’s first guided busway, is a dedicated 1.5km two-lane route. It creates a fast, efficient, modern bus system running between the city centre and outlying areas to the west of the city.
tie successfully project managed the scheme, which included all contractor procurement and management, consultation and stakeholder liaison and guideway operation.

Congestion Charging
With traffic levels in Edinburgh projected to grow by over 25% by the year 2016, and clean air targets to be achieved, the preferred transport strategy in 2002 included a £900m package of transport improvements funded by congestion charging.
tie undertook all aspects of promoting and delivering the congestion charging scheme, including: obtaining approval in principal from Scottish Ministers and managing a Public Inquiry. With a recommendation from the Public Inquiry to proceed, the local authority conducted a referendum, achieving a 62% turn out. Despite the referendum terminating the project, the work undertaken by tie would have ensured a smooth, cost-effective implementation of the scheme
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
One-Ticket
tie limited entered into an operating agreement with One-Ticket Ltd in April 2003 to provide administrative services to the scheme. The Company is a “partnership” between the nine member Councils of SESTRAN and the transport operators who operate within the SESTRAN area.
Aimed at promoting public transport as an alternative to car travel, One-Ticket is a unique travel scheme giving people access to unlimited travel on both buses and trains within south-east and central Scotland. The scheme was launched in May 2001 and is managed and promoted by tie.
Flexible and easy to use, One-Ticket is a multi-modal, multi-operator pass that allows public transport users unlimited travel on most buses and trains on a daily, weekly, four-weekly or annual basis.
