Hon. Patrick McLoughlin MP Secretary of State for Transport 5 6 TransPennine Express Prospectus TransPennine Express Prospectus Welcome 1. Introduction 1.1 Welcome to the TransPennine Express Franchise Since privatisation in 1995, private sector operators have helped to drive huge improvements in the UK’s railway, leading to a doubling of passenger numbers and distances travelled, far greater levels of passenger satisfaction, a strong safety record and increased revenues. The TransPennine Express (TPE) franchise plays an important part in the franchised railway network and represents an exciting opportunity for prospective franchise operators. The investment underway in the rail network in the north of England provides the potential for considerable development during the next franchise and a transformation of rail services for passengers. TPE is one of the smaller franchises in the UK. It provides inter-urban rail services across the north of England, complementing the commuter, local and long-distance services operated by the Northern franchise. TPE services provide direct connections between the major cities of Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle and to other cities and towns in the North. TPE also provides important cross-border services between north west England and Scotland. TPE’s inter-urban rail services are important to the economic vitality of the North, in providing for longer distance business and leisure travel and handling substantial commuter flows. Since 2004, passenger services have been provided by a joint venture between First Group and Keolis. Over this period, there has been significant and continuous “TPE’s inter-urban rail services are growth in passenger demand and the level of financial support required has reduced. The Department for Transport’s Rail Executive (hereafter referred to important to the economic vitality of the as ‘Rail Executive’ or ‘the Department’) is now seeking to let a new franchise to commence in February 2016. The new franchise offers opportunities to North, in providing for longer distance deliver significantly improved passenger rail services on the TPE network, taking business and leisure travel and handling advantage of the major planned improvements to the railway infrastructure in the north of England. substantial commuter flows.” 7 8 TransPennine Express Prospectus TransPennine Express Prospectus 1.2 Purpose of this document This Prospectus has been produced to give information to potential bidders about the TransPennine Express passenger rail franchise and Rail Executive’s current emerging approach towards its future shape. Following the recommendations of the Brown Review of the Rail Franchising Programme1, Rail Executive is seeking to provide a greater level of information to bidders at the start of the competition for the next franchise. Publication of this Prospectus alongside the OJEU2 Notice forms part of this new approach. PART This Prospectus is being published alongside the formal documentation initiating the pre-qualification process for selecting suitable organisations to receive an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the TPE franchise. Around the same time, a separate document is being issued to a wider audience to start the public consultation on A the franchise. includes some market context and A franchise competition for the Northern information about the rail industry in franchise is taking place in parallel with the Great Britain, information about the TPE competition, and is the subject of a separate proposals for devolution and details of Prospectus. Together, we are seeking to deliver some key events and projects which will approaches for these franchises which deliver impact the TPE franchise improvements for passengers across the north of England. In line with UK Government procurement principles, the competition for the TransPennine Express rail franchise includes significant market engagement, where potential bidders are invited to help Rail Executive test its thinking and generate ideas for innovation for consideration by Rail Executive. Our aim in this PART Prospectus is to set out Rail Executive’s current intent with regard to this franchise and to provide relevant information to the market. However, our thinking and final position on a number of areas within the scope of this procurement and franchise specification are still being developed and, in many cases, subject to public consultation. As such, the information in this document should not be relied upon B as an indication of Rail Executive’s final requirements for the TPE franchise; indeed we will continue to welcome feedback on our proposed approach where this is still gives information about the existing under review.

  • Firstgroup Plc Award of Transpennine Express Franchise Analyst and Investor Call Transcript
    Wednesday 9 December 2015 FirstGroup plc Award of TransPennine Express franchise Analyst and investor call transcript Matthew Gregory (FirstGroup Chief Financial Officer): Good morning, thank you everyone for joining us today, I know it’s been a busy morning. Just to introduce myself, I’m Matthew Gregory, Chief Financial Officer for FirstGroup, and I’m joined today by Rachael Borthwick, Nick Chevis and Faisal Tabbah. As stated in our announcement this morning there's a short slide pack on our corporate website in the 'reports and presentations' section and I’ll talk through that, and then we can go on to questions afterwards. So starting off, I’m very pleased to talk through the Department for Transport (DfT) announcement of its intention to award FirstGroup the TransPennine Express franchise for at least another seven years. The new franchise will see over £500m of investment being procured over the life of the franchise to double capacity, and allow us to continue to deliver the record setting levels of growth and innovation we’ve delivered over the last eleven years. In partnership with Rail North, Transport Scotland, and the city regions and local authorities of the North, our bid envisages transforming TransPennine Express into the intercity carrier of the Northern Powerhouse. The team really started from a blank page and asked themselves what would be needed to deliver for our passengers and other stakeholders over the best part of the next decade – the result is more seats, more services and new trains providing customers with outstanding intercity connections across the region, and a whole host of other passenger benefits.

  • Drivers'union
    The train ASLEF drivers’ union >>> Rail Franchise Handbook 2019 ASLEF Introduction Welcome to our new Rail Franchise Handbook. I hope you will find it as interesting, and useful, as I do and a valuable tool for the political and industrial work you do for our union. We put this handbook together to give our reps and decision makers the inside track on who really runs Britain’s railways, how they run our railways, and what they take out from our railway industry every year. Because we believe the facts and figures revealed in these pages show, with crystal clarity, the utter folly of our privatised, and fragmented, franchise system. A structure – set up by John Major, 25 years ago, and continued by Conservative governments ever since – that separates the wheels and steel and is underwritten by an enormous public subsidy from every taxpayer in this country, and sky high passenger fares, while tens of millions of pounds haemorrhage from the system into the pockets of shareholders in the form of profits and dividends, or increasingly due inefficiencies. In fact whilst the system has never worked for passengers or taxpayers, there are now signs that it doesn’t work for operators either. The franchising system has been put on hold for a couple of years now due to a lack of bidders. This means direct awards have been handed out leading to even less competition. So we now have a system that exists to maintain the system itself, not our railway. It isn’t true to say that all the train and freight operating fill the pockets of shareholders; some TOCs and FOCs are owned by public, not private, operators where shareholders do not skim the cream off the top of the milk.
