  • Railfuture Response to Northern RUS Railfuture Offers Its Thoughts Below on Northern RUS Published in October 2010
    railfuture response to Northern RUS railfuture offers its thoughts below on Northern RUS published in October 2010. Our response is in two parts: firstly responses to strategies identified in the document itself (“Gaps” in the language it uses) and then where we feel it does not address particular issues, we offer our alternatives ideas. railfuture have concerns about the forecasting period that is covered in this RUS. Whilst there are many references to a 20 or 30-year timescale, there is very little detail of what a future railway network might look like. We are disappointed that high speed rail appears to be the only long term vision for rail. We need a radical, expansionist vision for the “normal” railway. The railway should provide a much broader range of travel opportunities than at present through the reopening of old lines, the opening of new lines and the opening/re-opening of stations. The railway should meet the challenge of encouraging modal shift from the roads for both environmental (climate change and pollution reasons) and to ease congestions and make road traffic easier for essential journeys. What is needed are major and significant enhancements to the network to improve both its scope and capacity. What is going to happen by 2050? It is anticipated that the new franchises will cover a 15-year period yet this RUS is essentially concerned with CP4. Too much in this document is about 'nipping and tucking' services within the constraints of the current infrastructure. The importance of the Northern region must not be under estimated; the four Metropolitan counties combined have a similar population to Greater London.
