    Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE

    ITEM 1 TRANSPORT COMMITTEE NEWS 07 MARCH 2000 This report may be of interest to: All Members and Parish/Neighbourhood Councils RAIL UPDATE Accountable Officer: John Inman Author: Stephen Mortimer 1. Purpose 1.1 To advise the Committee of developments relating to Milton Keynes’ rail services. 2. Summary 2.1 West Coast Main Line Modernisation and Upgrade is now in the active planning stage. It will result in faster and more frequent train services between Milton Keynes Central and London, and between Milton Keynes Central and points north. Bletchley and Wolverton will also have improved services to London. 2.2 Funding for East-West Rail is now being sought from the Shadow Strategic Rail Authority (SSRA) for the western end of the line (Oxford-Bedford). Though the SSRA have permitted a bid only for a 60 m.p.h. single-track railway, excluding the Aylesbury branch and upgrade of the Marston Vale (Bedford-Bletchley) line, other Railtrack investment and possible developer contributions (yet to be investigated) may allow these elements to be included, as well as perhaps a 90 m.p.h. double- track railway. As this part of East-West Rail already exists, no form of planning permission is required; however, Transport and Works Act procedures are to be started to build the missing parts of the eastern end of the line. 2.3 New trains were introduced on the Marston Vale line, Autumn 1999. A study of the passenger accessibility of Marston Vale stations identified various desirable improvements, for which a contribution of £10,000 is required from this Council.

Rail services in older cities such as Boston include an urban metro system with a mixture of light rail/trolley and heavy rail lines, and a network of commuter services emanating from termini in the city center. These legacy systems have grown incrementally over the past century and are struggling to serve the economic and population growth

    BSRA Entertainment Report for October 4, 2014 LONG FORM (for historical record) Entertainment Report for October 4, 2014 October 4, 2014. A MassDOT Special. A MassDOT Special. Just two months after the 50th year anniversary of the MBTA, we saw a two-part special featuring upcoming expansion to the system. In Part 1, South Station Expansion Project Manager Matthew Ciborowski (MASSDOT Office of Transportation Planning) updated us on expansion plans for South Station. Matt started the dhow with 2 maps, of Boston overall and the South Station area. The South Station Expansion project administratively started in 2010 (except for the South Station Air Rights Project for development over the tracks, which was permitted in 2006), although no construction has yet started, for reasons detailed at various points in the show. The expansion of South Station requires the addition of 7 tracks, 4 platforms, a new concourse, the reopening of Dorchester Avenue, and the addition of a parallel 20 foot wide Harborwalk All of this requires relocation of the US Postal Service facility that occupies much of the land needed for these additions. As noted in the Question and Answer following this part of the show, the US Postal Service is Federal, so the State of Massachusetts cannot force relocation by Eminent Domain; the State has offered two alternative locations for the US Postal Service, and has essentially offered to build a new facility for the US Postal Service at one of these; formerly, the current location of the US Postal Service made sense due to use of rail for mail, but this is no longer the case.

    Analyzing the Potential for Commuter Train Run-Through Service at New York Penn Station August 7, 2014

    Analyzing the Potential for Commuter Train Run-Through Service at New York Penn Station August 7, 2014 Prepared by Amtrak Northeast Corridor Infrastructure Investment and Development And Amtrak Operations Research Groups Abstract This paper provides a brief review of Amtrak research on the potential of through running of commuter operations in Penn Station, New York. It is intended to help inform the larger community interested in the concept as well as to assist in the planning and analysis within a number of studies of Penn Station and the Northeast Corridor that are currently underway. The paper describes through running concepts in general, and then identifies operational and infrastructure conditions specific to Penn Station which should be addressed in order to undertake a successful revenue service. Analysis discussed in this paper finds that: commuter trains would lead to fewer peak a) absent the construction of purpose-built period trains and/or less reliable operations facilities to provide wider station platforms under representative service scenarios and, b) the introduction of more robust evaluated. vertical passenger access, a through running service with high performance service Potential Through Running Territory characteristics found in other railway systems is not achievable at Penn Station. Further, current operations are optimized around the existing terminal infrastructure with its two main support yards serving in a critical role to achieving very high levels of performance. Without investment in new station facilities to compensate for the utility provided by yards, the introduction of a through running revenue service with Table of Contents Who is interested in through running and why? .............................................................................
