  • One Rail Australia Submission to ESCOSA
    One Rail Australia Submission to ESCOSA One Rail Australia welcomes the invitation from ESCOSA to respond to the South Australian Rail Access Regime Review Issues Paper (February 2020). The review is timely given recent developments in the rail industry in South Australia, which are set out in detail below. Overall, our position is: • There is no compelling case to change the current regime significantly. • Whilst volumes on intrastate main lines continue to reduce, this has been driven by increased competition from road transport, rather than deficiencies in the access regime. • Other than lower volumes, there has been no significant change in the operation of the market since 2015, such that ESCOSA’s conclusions at the time supporting the continuation of the existing regime should have altered; • The current regime is a cost-effective way to provide protection to both access seekers and access providers in South Australia and provides certainty for all parties through the negotiation and arbitration framework; • ESCOSA reflects a fit-for-purpose regulator for the South Australian rail market given its size relative to the national regulated market which allows for efficient communication and resolution of issues; and • Changing to a national regime would be a costly process during transition and would raise regulatory compliance costs of all parties in the long run. It would also generate risks around the process of transition and there may be opportunity for other parties, such as national transport carriers, to exert market power. The rest of this submission sets out some information about One Rail Australia, an update on the South Australian freight transport industry, an overview of our perceptions of strengths and weaknesses of the current regime.
