London North Eastern & East Midlands Route London North Eastern & East Midlands Route Route Strategic Plan January 2018 LNE & EM Route Strategic Plan Introduction from the Route Managing Director CP5 has been a challenging time for Network Rail. However as we begin We will do this by ensuring our delivery, whether it be operations, the process of exiting CP5 and preparing for CP6 our LNE & EM Route is maintenance or renewals is both efficient and effective. Efficiency has not creating real momentum towards maximising the transformative had sufficient focus in CP5 and we are changing this now with an initial opportunities that CP6 presents us. We are delivering our maintenance objective for renewals of returning to CP4 levels of efficiency. more efficiently than ever before, train delay minutes attributed to the route and number of performance affecting incidents are lower than they have The Network Rail devolution agenda rightly pushes us towards our ever been and we must continue to improve the safety of our railway as stakeholders and in doing so brings track and train closer together for the the traffic and passenger numbers grow. Our approach to developing benefit of passengers, communities and economies. This allows us to major enhancements such as Trans-Pennine Route Upgrade is being ensure that our investment decisions are focused towards those who applauded by funders and stakeholders, and we have commenced our matter most, and in doing so are better placed to realise the opportunity of once in a generation opportunity to realise a digital railway on ECML and third party investment on our railway. Investing money in and around the Moorgate with all the sustained and transformative cross industry LNE & EM route will become easier, faster and much more customer opportunities it creates. focused. I am determined that CP6 will be the true dawn of a new era on the UK rail network with the deployment of Digital Railway with the CP6 will see unprecedented levels of change to the LNE & EM route with conversion of the ECML to Digital Rail. This will not only transform the the realisation of multi-million pound investments on the MML, passenger experience but also bring the industry ever closer due to the Transpennine and ECML corridors – it will be transformational for nature of this technology, and greatly reduce the tax payer’s burden for the passengers with a 15% growth in train services and the corresponding operation, maintenance and renewal of this railway for generations to increase in passengers these will bring.

Our sustainability strategy ‘Our World, Our Future’ is woven into everything we do, supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals across safety, climate change, security, community engagement, people development, ethics and well-being. DP World has invested in many measures to enable sustainable trade at its port operations at DP World London Gateway and DP World Southampton (DP World UK). We have made significant progress to reduce carbon emissions through maximising efficiency, using renewable energy and displacing fossil fuels. An overview of some of these measures can be found at: www.londongateway.com/about/sustainability . We have been at the forefront of innovation including electrification of yard operations and trialling fully electric ‘shuttle carrier’ operations at DP World London Gateway. At DP World Southampton measures include scaling up our use of hybrid ‘straddle carriers’ and trialling fossil free HVO fuel as a transition step towards net zero. DP World UK has engaged Lloyds Register to independently verify the carbon dioxide (CO2) generated from our operations. In 2015, for each laden container imported through DP World UK facilities we generated approximately 65 kgCO2e. Through continuous operational improvements and the early introduction of carbon efficient choices, this has been reduced by 20% to around 52 kgCO2e in 2020. To continue our decarbonisation journey, we need to make considerable investments in the coming years to progress our energy transition.

  • The Role for Rail in Port-Based Container Freight Flows in Britain
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by WestminsterResearch The role for rail in port-based container freight flows in Britain ALLAN WOODBURN Bionote Dr Allan Woodburn is a Senior Lecturer in the Transport Studies Group at the University of Westminster, London, NW1 5LS. He specialises in freight transport research and teaching, mainly related to operations, planning and policy and with a particular interest in rail freight. 1 The role for rail in port-based container freight flows in Britain ALLAN WOODBURN Email: [email protected] Tel: +44 20 7911 5000 Fax: +44 20 7911 5057 Abstract As supply chains become increasingly global and companies seek greater efficiencies, the importance of good, reliable land-based transport linkages to/from ports increases. This poses particular problems for the UK, with its high dependency on imported goods and congested ports and inland routes. It is conservatively estimated that container volumes through British ports will double over the next 20 years, adding to the existing problems. This paper investigates the potential for rail to become better integrated into port-based container flows, so as to increase its share of this market and contribute to a more sustainable mode split. The paper identifies the trends in container traffic through UK ports, establishes the role of rail within this market, and assesses the opportunities and threats facing rail in the future. The analysis combines published statistics and other information relating to container traffic and original research on the nature of the rail freight market, examining recent trends and future prospects.
