The studies then articulate a series of service level conditional outputs to meet the strategic goals, accommodating the forecast demand. Market Studies inform a series of Route Studies which are disaggregated nationally by Network Rail’s devolved Routes. Route Studies seek to accommodate the conditional outputs from the Market Studies onto the Network, firstly by making best use of existing capacity and secondly through infrastructure intervention, where there is an affordable and value for money business case for doing so.

Ongoing growth in other flows should be met through services continuing to use the current route. Transport for the North Following recommendations from HS2 in Sir David Higgins’ “Rebalancing Britain “ report (2014), Network Rail joined central and local government, and other stakeholders, as part of Transport for the North. The vision for rail is to improve journey times, and train frequencies, linking the six principal city regions and the North’s biggest airport (Liverpool, Manchester, Manchester Airport, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle and Hull) - extending the north to south link that will be provided by HS2.

Electrification Leeds Station Network Rail, on behalf of the rail industry, will be publishing a Sir David Higgins’ report, “Rebalancing Britain” (2014) made it report on electrification outlining the priorities for future clear that Leeds Station is nearing full capacity, and a unique electrification. The strategy will prioritise routes for further opportunity exists to upgrade the station for increased capacity on development based, primarily, on the density of diesel-operated the classic network , at the same time as ensuring full advantage is traffic which could be converted to electric operation through the taken of HS2.

The recommendation was for those projects in Tier 1 detail in the Network Rail Sectional Appendix. to be taken forward urgently, through a full business case analysis, so that they can be properly considered in the funding cycle for the medium term. Ports expansion There are planned port expansions at the Port of Immingham, Teesport and Port of Tyne and at various other ports throughout the country, which will see an increase in freight traffic over these routes. These include developments at Avonmouth, Bathside Bay, Felixstowe, Liverpool, Southampton and Thames Gateway. Bathside Bay, Felixstowe and Southampton will have a significant effect on intermodal demand on the LNE & EM Route. LDHS train lengthening Current plans for IEP rolling stock introduction envisage the use of trains of a maximum of ten-car length. This will give improved passenger capacity due to the optimisation of space within the vehicles. The IEP specification includes the ability to lengthen these trains to approximately 312 metres (twelve -car) length and, despite the high cost of accommodating this length of train at certain locations, it might still be the most viable option to accommodate continuing growth prior to HS2 reaching Yorkshire.
