The requirements of the programme are currently undefined, however it is likely that there will be increased demands placed upon the railway network associated with the construction of the new power plants and in particular the delivery of construction material and removal of spoil. In addition, the movement of the workforce during the construction and operational phases of the project are likely to be significant. Based on the project brief it is taken that any new facilities are likely to be in the area of the current works at Sellafield. As a result, the rail planning which has been undertaken in this study has focussed on trains operating to and from this location. This has been a high-level study of the rail capacity in Cumbria based on available information from Network Rail and a desktop analysis of current and potential operations. No detailed modelling work has been undertaken and as such the results should be considered as indicative at this stage, albeit based on a significant degree of analysis and informed by our experience of rail operations. The technical development of the proposed railway works is based on a limited number of site visits and input from Network Rail. Methodology As mentioned above, the study was based on available information and a desktop analysis of the current railway operations. In practice this has involved the plotting of the current train planning graphs and then overlaying additional paths to build up a picture of what capacity could be made available for a given series of intervention measures. This ranged from simple extensions of the route opening hours to consideration of capital expenditure interventions to bring about further benefits to the network capacity and capability. In all cases the outputs were plotted on the train planning graph and results tabulated. Outcomes The results from the study show that there is a significant level of latent capacity on the route which could be utilised in serving the Nuclear New Build programme. This is split between access to and from the north, and to and from the south of Sellafield. The number of paths possible are higher from the south than from the north. This is solely due to the lengthy single line section which exists immediately north of Sellafield. Further low-cost paths can be gained through the extension of the opening hours of certain signal boxes along the line. Given the number of readily available | Final | 18 October 2010 P a g e | i J:\210000\214161-00 (CUMBRIAN COAST CAPACITY STUDY)\04 DELIVERABLES\4-05 REPORTS\4-05-06 TRANS\CUMBRIAN REPORT FINAL.DOCX Cumbria County Council Cumbrian Coast Railway Capacity Study paths, only a limited extension of the signal box hours has been considered along with a view of the benefits to be gained through longer duration extensions. Enhancement to the infrastructure is also considered and this has focussed on making the train plans more robust and improving the capability of the route. This latter point in particular takes account of the need to maximise the value of the available paths by allowing longer freight services to be operated. The interface with the wider rail network has been difficult to predict. Current utilisation of routes, particularly freight traffic on the West Coast Main Line, is highly volatile given the current economic climate. The current view is that it will be difficult to increase the general volume of traffic at the southern end without affecting overall performance. However, at both Carlisle and Carnforth direct access onto the route south to Settle would appear to be possible. The worth of any such routing will be dependent on the origin and volumes of traffic generated by the programme. Results The following tabulation shows the train paths used by the currently timetabled services on the route. The paths which can be reasonably added on to the route with no capital investment or extended opening hours are also shown – described as ‘Practical Paths’. Finally the impact of extending the opening hours of certain signal boxes is shown (Extended Opening Paths).

It is considered that the number of possible additional paths identified here is likely to be at a level such that it would satisfy the traffic requirements of the programme. In order to make the network more resilient to perturbations and allow greater flexibility it is proposed that the route configuration be altered at Whitehaven. This is largely driven by the fact that it is located at one end of the single line section and may require to ‘hold’ trains awaiting paths. The work will see the creation of a loop facility which will allow main line services to pass a stationary freight train held on the main line. The second enhancement takes place at St Bees where there is a loop to allow trains to pass on the single line. The greater intensity of the proposed service pattern means that it will be necessary to pass lengthy freight trains at St Bees.

    Gosforth Electoral Division Profile 2017 Overview of Electoral Division Gosforth Electoral Division incorporates two larger service centre villages of Gosforth and Seascale along with a number of smaller villages and hamlets which have active Parish Councils, and a number of shops, services and amenities. Part of the ward falls within the Lake District National Park boundary. This division includes the main employer for the borough, Sellafield Ltd.

Furthermore, beyond Census data, there is little statistical information available for Electoral Divisions. However, most statistical agencies produce data for Electoral Wards. Therefore, there is a very wide range of statistical information available for Electoral Wards. Furthermore, as Electoral Wards are generally smaller than Electoral Divisions, statistics at this level provide more insight into variations between communities.
