  • Getting on the Right Track
    spotlight LEVERAGED FINANCE GETTING ON THE RIGHT TRACK JOANNA HAWKES OF ANGEL TRAINS EXPLAINS SOME OF THE ISSUES FACING THE ROLLING STOCK LESSOR IN THE FUNDING AND LEASING OF TRAINS TO THE OPERATING COMPANIES. he purpose of this article is to outline the issues facing the rolling stock lessor, both from the perspective of financing the purchase of rolling stock, as well as leasing it to the trains operating companies (Tocs). It focuses mainly on the Tactivities and experiences of Angel Trains (Angel). BACKGROUND. The three rolling stock leasing companies (Roscos) Angel, Porterbrook Leasing and HSBC Rail (formerly Eversholt tandem with extended and renegotiated franchises.

Meeting this need is a priority for all of us in rail, and the desire for on-time service delivery shows in the correlation between punctuality and customer satisfaction and, in turn, the correlation between customer satisfaction and rail businesses’ revenues. It is important therefore, for the industry and the country as well as customers that we run punctual trains. We have been failing to do this for too long. After improving performance every month from 2002 – 2011, we now repeatedly miss the punctuality levels that TOCs and NR Routes agree they will deliver. The reliability of the vehicles we operate is part of that under-delivery and we have to do better. In 2013, the fleet planned a national passenger fleet performance challenge of delivering 11 500 MTIN by March 2019, a 20% improvement in reliability over this five- year control period. The reality is that we are likely to deliver only 9 000 MTIN by then.

  • The Treachery of Strategic Decisions
    The treachery of strategic decisions. An Actor-Network Theory perspective on the strategic decisions that produce new trains in the UK. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael John King. May 2021 Abstract The production of new passenger trains can be characterised as a strategic decision, followed by a manufacturing stage. Typically, competing proposals are developed and refined, often over several years, until one emerges as the winner. The winning proposition will be manufactured and delivered into service some years later to carry passengers for 30 years or more. However, there is a problem: evidence shows UK passenger trains getting heavier over time. Heavy trains increase fuel consumption and emissions, increase track damage and maintenance costs, and these impacts could last for the train’s life and beyond. To address global challenges, like climate change, strategic decisions that produce outcomes like this need to be understood and improved. To understand this phenomenon, I apply Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to Strategic Decision-Making. Using ANT, sometimes described as the sociology of translation, I theorise that different propositions of trains are articulated until one, typically, is selected as the winner to be translated and become a realised train. In this translation process I focus upon the development and articulation of propositions up to the point where a winner is selected. I propose that this occurs within a valuable ‘place’ that I describe as a ‘decision-laboratory’ – a site of active development where various actors can interact, experiment, model, measure, and speculate about the desired new trains.

Address all communication to Secretary to the Commission United States International Trade Commission Washington, DC 20436 www.usitc.gov Preface The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has initiated its current Industry and Trade Summary series of reports to provide information on the rapidly evolving trade and competitive situation of the thousands of products imported into and exported from the United States. Over the past 20 years, U.S. international trade in goods and services has risen by almost 350 percent, compared to an increase of 180 percent in the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), before falling sharply in late 2008 and 2009 due to the economic downturn. During the same two decades, international supply chains have become more global and competition has increased. Each Industry and Trade Summary addresses a different commodity or industry and contains information on trends in consumption, production, and trade, as well as an analysis of factors affecting industry trends and competitiveness in domestic and foreign markets. This report on the railway rolling stock industry primarily covers the period from 2004 to 2009, and includes data for 2010 where available.
